Father builds homemade Python-programmable toy car tool so his fourth-grade son can learn programming through play

A father built a Python programming prototype tool for his fourth-grade son, letting the child write programs for a small car: turn 180 degrees in place, and drive along a complex route from the living room into the bedroom. The child completed two programs in the first hour, then played for four hours, using up two-thirds of the battery, and in the process practiced experimental design, drawing diagrams, and debugging problems in the physical world. The author is considering expanding the tool further.
