Introduction
This e-book is a comprehensive guide on how kids can use Scratch programming language to create educative and interesting animations, interactive stories, and games using the interesting dragging and dropping block format embedded in the programming process.
Programming increases kids intelligence and creative ability. This is why it is often learned not just because of its technological advantage but to sharpen intelligence and problem-solving ability, to increase their ability to take actions and decisions.
Scratch programming has made this a very easy and flexible feat. It is the simplest way to become an expert in programming with or without background knowledge of what it is. Learning with Scratch is very easy and fun-filled.
This e-book gives a detailed step by step guide on how a kid can become a Scratch programming expert. All the projects examined in this book are to guide you into becoming an excellent programmer.
The projects in the book start from a very simple idea and gradually progresses into a more complicated but easy to understand tasks and exercise.
Since this programming language is very visual and its structure is based on having a large amount of multimedia content, it is not hard to trace the flow of your project. The main idea of Scratch is to make computer science and its ideas accessible to a larger number of people.
Scratch is made to motivate kids to learn through discovery and exploration. It requires imagination and creativity, which makes it approachable, even to those who are absolute beginners. There are a lot of guides and books that can help you with Scratch. However, these books usually target older people and they mostly offer just a few simple application examples so you can understand the user interface in Scratch. Keep in mind that most of those books are talking about Scratch more than about the programming in it. That is why in this guide we will try to explain the basics of programming and its fundamental concepts while using Scratch as a tool for better understanding.
