We developed P-CUBE as a tangible programming education tool for visually impairments or inexperienced persons in PC operation. Users are able to control a mobile robot simply by positioning blocks on a mat. The fundamental programming concepts taught by P-CUBE consist of three elements: sequences, branches and loops. These systems uses radio frequency identification (RFID) systems to identify the position of blocks or cards on the mat. Blocks utilize RFID tags alone. P-CUBE is designed to operate via tactile information for visually impaired. We report on the system configurations of P-CUBE and programming workshop held for visually impairments. Then, we discuss merits of tangible programming tools using RFID systems.
