摘要：

New computer devices such as Makey Makey are proposed for children in primary education to learn computer programming. That way, students can interact with the computer with any conductive material, such as fruits or Play-Doh. The research question is whether playing with fruits as interactive devices can help primary education students learn concepts of computer programming. An experiment has been performed to answer the question with 62 primary education children. The results gathered provide significant evidence that students can learn more without using the fruits. Psychological factors may explain these results.
