We Need Legos for Code

Lego Mindstorms (gen 1) was one of my first coding experiences and one in which I really started to learn about the power of state machines versus lists of instructions. It had intuitive drag-and-drop software pieces that mirrored the same hardware pieces IRL. Wish it still existed for kids today

If you're referring to Robolab it was actually based on LABView under the hood. LABView is well known drag and drop programming interface built by National Instruments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Mindstorms#Use_in_educati...

source: My robotics professor developed Robolab and we got tons of cool shit from LEGO
