Abstract
This paper describes an educational tool developed to teach coding and computational thinking to children. We designed and implemented an adaptive, interactive learning game application (mobile and web) called "Pixasso". In this application, children will write a simple program to color the 'pixels' of an image. Through the game application, they will learn programming commands, sequencing and debugging. This educational application was built using prevailing research on child centered design knowledge regarding child user interface and experience and aims to help scale initiatives dedicated towards introducing children to computer science at an early age.
