[en] In this paper, we describe how the mixed reality application, Bubble Caster, technically works and how we involved children ages 7 to 8 in the design process. The children used their storytelling and programming skills to produce the interactive, mixed reality shadow play, The Magic Cauldron. The project enabled the children to acquire elementary programming skills in a playful learning environment.
