Abstract
This paper introduces a LED CUBE tool interacting with a distance sensor to solve real life problems in the physical computing field. Students can experience interactive education and intuitively understand the cubic operations with 3-dimensional animations obtained from a $3{\times}3{\times}3$ LED CUBE and a distance sensor connecting to Arduino. If the proposed LED CUBE is applied in physical computing section of the Information curriculum of middle school, students are expected to improve their computational thinking ability to solve problems in real life and other areas creatively and efficiently.
