Dynamic library access based on proximate programmable item detection

A method, comprising:

• detecting, using a sensor, a programmable physical item;
• responsive to detecting that the programmable physical item is in a pre-determined recommended, providing, by a processor, access to a pre-authored coding lesson including providing access to code for programming the programmable physical item, the pre-authored coding lesson and the code being inaccessible prior to detecting the programmable physical item, the pre-authored coding lesson being associated with the pre-determined recommended;
• receiving, as part of the pre-authored coding lesson, user input that comprises at least a portion of the code;
• and
• programming the programmable physical item based at least in part on the received user input.

A computer program product comprising code stored in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the code comprising:

• code to detect, using a sensor, a programmable physical item;
• code to retrieve a pre-defined recommended configuration of the programmable physical item for participating in a pre-authored coding lesson associated with the pre-defined recommended configuration;
• code to determine whether a current configuration of the programmable physical item is equivalent to the pre-defined recommended configuration;
• and
• code to grant access to the pre-authored coding lesson, including access to functions for programming the programmable physical item, when the current configuration is determined to be equivalent to the pre-defined recommended configuration associated with the pre-authored coding lesson.
