This game was played by 20 students from first grade class at the age of 10. Pre-test and post-test was conducted to evaluate their performance before and after playing the game. Majority of the students was able to get the correct answer during pre-test. An improvement was discovered in comparison of pre-test and post-test. The result showed that children at the age of 10 have the potential to learn programming through game. For future works, this project evaluation can be more diverse by testing the students from various grade levels so that the result is unbiased. 2015 Thesis NonPeerReviewed text en http://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/14588/1/TD_SHAIFUL%20AQBAR%20MOHAMMAT%20ZAMBERI%20CS%2015_5.pdf Mohammat Zamberi, Shaiful Aqbar (2015) Educational game for introducing programming to children / Shaiful Aqbar Mohammat Zamberi.
