2 years ago

Hello, I am a 15-year-old middle school student living in Japan. Learning programming can be challenging for beginners, but block programming makes this learning process easier. In particular, Scratch, developed by the MIT Media Lab, is a wonderful tool that allows intuitive learning using blocks. It is based on Google's Blockly project.

I have developed my own block learning assistant using Blockly. With this tool, it's possible to add explanations to existing blocks, customize them, or create new blocks using natural language. It was built using OpenAI, React, and Vite.

This project's source is publicly available on GitHub, and I hope it can contribute to the advancement of programming education. I am eagerly awaiting your valuable feedback!
