There is only a small though influential group of computer nerds that are involved in the creation process of our digital world, with most of us passive and captive consumers. Yet another Kickstarter project (see also [Kano](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/11/kano?ref=protein.xyz)) aims to make at least the youngest amongst us more capable of software programming.   
  
[Primo](http://primo.io/?ref=protein.xyz#1) is toy blocks for Generation Z, teaching kids the basics of computer science without a single screen. All electronics are hidden under natural materials to look friendly and appealing to kids. As simple as Lego, colourful wooden blocks connect to an interface board which direct a cute robot named cubetto home. By creating simple algorithms with the blocks, children learn the logical foundation of programming that they can then apply on more advanced coding later in life.  
  
Its interesting to see something as abstract as digital processing transferred into the analog "real" world, simplifying the process for children to understand.
