A model

A micro controller

And a cat ?

Curiosity

Discover by yourself

Computers are everywhere

Understand electronics

Arduino

Understand programming

Many open source software are dedicated to learn

programming to kids: Scratch, TurlteLogo, KidsRuby,

Python4Kids…

Initiatives: Programatoo, Devoxx4Kids, greenlight,

Diagram definition

Create a Sirius Specification Project and provide

diagram descriptions :

● Mappings

● Styles

● Tools

Interpreted @ runtime

Mappings

Tools

Defined thanks to

a simple action langage

and/or

Java services

Queries

Coupling to semantics is low

thanks to queries!
