Abstract
Teaching programming to school children is a challenging task. This report summarizes the research problem, and outlines the research questions around the issues with block-based languages and suitability of elementary patterns as a possible solution. Results to date show a little use of important programming elements even after many years of use, and there is no clear sign of progression in skills with or without remixing.
