mBlock
mBlock is a coding environment designed to teach programming and robotics through visual, block-based logic. Built on Scratch, mBlock supports both beginner-friendly coding and advanced extensions with Python or Arduino. It integrates seamlessly with Makeblock hardware such as mBot, allowing students to write logic for real-world movement, sensors, and reactions.
🔧 What Students Have Created with mBlock
In Autobots, students used mBlock to program custom logic for autonomous robots. They coded obstacle detection, directional changes, and conditional responses using drag-and-drop blocks tied to real hardware. Some also experimented with mBlock’s AI extensions, like text recognition or facial tracking.
TAP students use mBlock to bridge code and physical behavior—developing foundational understanding of logic, automation, and robotics.
🔗 Useful Resources
mBlock helps TAP students bring code to life—controlling robots and AI behaviors through a simple, visual programming interface.
