I think it’s a neat and interesting way to teach programming. Having tried teaching kids of various ages, nieces and nephews and my own children, I find physical puzzles are more captivating and easier to relate to.
This is really nice. I looked at one of the video's and it really speaks to me. I am a software developer and my wife is a teacher in a primary school. I have taught two classes with students that showed an intrest in programming. I used the Elevator Saga for the advanced students. With this I can have a more easier start.
I want to do the "make me a sandwich" routine as well :D
There’s a similar program in the UK championed by Simon P Jones, one of the co-creators of Haskell. He’s also the chair of CAS and helped developed a national curriculum: https://www.computingatschool.org.uk/resources/2015/january/...

There are some nice ideas but no continuity, it's just random bits put together. ♫ tekisco, tekisco, tekisco ♫
