Research summary

Project overview

Arcademia is an interactive educational arcade game designed to teach fundamental coding concepts to children aged 9–11 through engaging gameplay. The system gamifies programming education by allowing learners to solve puzzles using visual drag‑and‑drop code blocks that control a character in themed game environments. The project was developed to provide a fun and accessible introduction to computational thinking without requiring traditional computers or internet connectivity.
