Description
This helpful instruction guide can teach the newest of developers how to create their own games and animations with the computer program Scratch. Scratch is a great starting block for those interested in learning coding languages and web design. The instructions in this book start with the basics, naming different elements of the program, how to use them, and how they work. Each chapter introduces a different element and shows how that element operates with an example project illustration. Depending on how familiar a learner is with computers and instruction guides, a young student may be able to follow along with this book on their own; however, many young students will need some assistance or supervision. This book does not show how to download and open the computer program, Scratch, but rather shows what can be done with the program. 248 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
