When we teach programming we usually start with code. We tell beginners that "it runs" but all they see is static text. Add to that the confusion of symbols, syntax and code editors. Does any of the above have to do with comprehending the behavior of a program?
Embodied Code argues that it doesn't. It is a way to experience a program not by running it but by running around yourself—by being it—in physical space. It provides a social playground to physically enact & discuss real programs with others.
