This research is aimed to develop a new methodology and its supporting technologies for pre-school-age children to learn about computation and programming through hands-on playing experience with toys. It allows children to acquire the concept and the knowledge of computation and programming by playing with model railway toy. The final aim of the research is to establish the ladder rung toward great scientist and engineer development through education in the pre-school-age.
