A straightforward, visual guide that shows young learners how to build
their own computer projects using Scratch, a popular free programming
language, using fun graphics and easy-to-follow instructions.
Kids can animate their favorite characters, build games to play with
friends, create silly sound effects, and more with Coding Projects in
Scratch. All they need is a desktop or laptop with Adobe 10.2 or later,
and an internet connection to download Scratch 2.0. Coding can be done
without download on https: //scratch.mit.edu.
Step-by-step instructions teach essential coding basics and outline 18
fun and exciting projects, including a personalized birthday card; a
"tunnel of doom" multiplayer game; a dinosaur dance party animation with
flashing lights, music, and dance moves--and much more.
The simple, logical steps in Coding Projects in Scratch are fully
illustrated with fun pixel art and build on the basics of coding, so
that kids can have the skills to make whatever kind of project they can
dream up.
Supporting STEM education initiatives, computer coding teaches kids how
to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically,
and is quickly becoming a necessary and sought-after skill. DK's
computer coding books are full of fun exercises with step-by-step
guidance, making them the perfect introductory tools for building vital
skills in computer programming.
