Abstract
Teaching children to learn coding is very important today for elementary school children. To teach to write programs using a computer or tablet which difficult and may be over the age for children in general. The children to write a program without using a computer. It is necessary to bring the written program outside the computer screen. No need to use a mouse or keyboard to write programs. The development tangible programming with QR codes for elementary school children to write programs control robot. Which using QR code technology to decode the command to control the robot. The results of the research showed that tangible programming by assigning commands with QR code. Allowing children to learn and program robots without writing programs on the computer. Sending commands with QR codes can work without errors. The children understand and learn programming in 2 forms: 1) sequential command and 2) repeat command.
