An introduction to coding for kids.

Coding know-how is the coolest new tool kids can add to their creativity toolboxes―and all they need to get started is a computer connected to the internet and the lessons in this book. Easy!

The book offers fun step-by-step projects to create games, animations, and other digital toys while teaching a bit about coding along the way. Plus, each project has an end goal to instill confidence and a sense of accomplishment in young coders once the project comes to life.

jаvascript is used in everything from apps to websites to electronics. Kids can begin learning in block-based mode of jаvascript, and then transition to text-based mode as they build skills and confidence in coding. In this book, jаvascript projects are presented through MakeCode, a platform for coding instructions that can operate a small electronics board called a micro:bit.

Scratch: This learning language developed at MIT is so popular that it is arguably “the” starter programming language. As such, this book features several projects in the most recent version of Scratch — Scratch 3.0. (But for those of you who may be running an older, offline version of Scratch, you’ll still be able to do most projects.) Scratch is a block-based language that lets new coders comfortably step into the world of computer programming. And it’s fun!
