This paper presents MR-LEAP (Mixed-Reality Learning Environment for Aspirational Programmers), a framework developed for learning programming through Mixed Reality and gamification mechanics. MR-LEAP’s architecture is designed to facilitate the understanding of basic programming concepts while allowing the gradual incorporation of more complex concepts. The framework provides a simple visual level editor. MR-LEAP is supported by the Mixed Reality Toolkit framework to promote portability to new Mixed Reality devices. Our goal is to facilitate programming education using Mixed Reality technology. MR-LEAP has already been used in both research and educational. • MR-LEAP supports programming learning through mixed reality and gamification. • MR-LEAP’s architecture can scale to integrate new programming concepts. • Researchers can extend the functional capabilities of MR-LEAP. • MR-LEAP can be used to assess the impact of using mixed reality to learn programming. • A illustrative example is presented to show MR-LEAP’s potential.
