Here's what teachers who have used
GLICODE™ in the classroom have to say.

“GLICODE” was used in programming classes during club activities.

Koga City Owada Elementary School
Ms. Haruka Fujiwara

The surprising and interesting combination of candy and programming stimulated our students imagination. They told me they felt candy was special so I think they can find programming more approachable now.

Komae City Komae Daiichi Elementary School
Mr. Hosaku Shibata

“GLICODE” was very easy to prepare and use in lessons, even without any previous technically knowledge. It's great that children can learn to code using physical objects without ever needing to sit in front of a computer.

Bunkyo Ward Otsuka Elementary School
Mr. Kensuke Suga

I found it very impressive that the kids didn't just keep their what they learnt to themselves, but shared it amongst others in their group because of the playful nature of “GLICODE”. The use of Pocky as a user interface was very intuitive and quickly understood by the entire class.
