This paper introduces a new teaching tool for K-12 schools with the aid to transfigure the way young peoples use of online data. The tool involves participators who don't have prior programming knowledge and wish to learn computational concepts as part of playing with online data. Computational thinking provides a way for solving many real-world problems that are not learned easily by using many existing tools. Map-Blocks is a software suite that combines the easy to use visual programming environment with easy to get started block shaped programming environment.
