Summary: 

Increasing popularization of computers, programming is used by not only
professionals but also ordinal people. Therefore, we need more
easy-to-use programming environment rapidly. Scratch is a good example
because beginners can make a program easier such as building blocks on
screen. However, Scratch will not be able to assemble the block directly
by hand. So, we made real blocks of Scratch and also made a total
programming development environment using with real blocks.
Additionally, we observed people who use this environment in an exhibition.
