Currently, the development of the skills of logical and abstract thinking is empahasize in the edu-cation process. This is essential for learning programming. Systems that help to be familiar with this issue since an early age are widely available. In this paper an alternative for such applications is presented – EduMATRIX. Its main advantage is the teaching of programming without the need to stay in front of a computer screen. Moreover, a validation method of EduMATRIX and other available teaching aids, which will identify effective form of learning for young users, was proposed.
