Abstract
The use of abstraction along with the use of critical thinking are key concepts in computer science. The development of these skills are crucial for survival and success in the field. I believe the key to success is to allow students to experiment with computer science concepts at an early age. The BEST robotics competition is a fertile ground for potential future computer scientists and engineers, however the current robotic programming platforms prove to be overly challenging for the young audience. In this thesis, I propose both a new approach to teaching younger individuals programming, as well as, a new platform in which to do so.
