THINK IT. MAKE IT. PLAY IT.
Your idea. Your own game.
Pliro is a programming language for children. You give a computer instructions, step by step. That's how you make your own game, drawing or invention!
You practise making a plan and finding your own solutions. Useful for your ideas today and in the future.
