Scratch 2.0 Programming by Denis Golikov

All Scratch textbooks are for 11-13 years old children, though there is nothing difficult in Scratch. I started looking for books on Scratch on the Internet for children of 7-9 years old, but I could not find anything. My son, Artem, got into programming on Scratch at 7 years of age. My background is in Computer Engineering, not in Programming. It is not recommended to study more than two chapters per day. It doesn't work on any tablets!Įach chapter requires about 20-30 minutes to study. Scratch works on Windows or Linux computers. Scratch was created in 2006 under the supervision of Mitchel Resnick by a Lifelong Kindergarten group in MIT Media Lab. The programs are created of multi-colored blocks the same way as Lego construction sets are made of multi-colored bricks. You can create cartoons in Scratch, play with various objects, change them, move them on the screen, set up forms of interaction between objects. Scratch was specifically created as a new learning environment for teaching school students programming. This program allows children to express themselves in computer creative work. Scratch is a new free programming environment that allows children from 7 years old to create their own stories, cartoons, games and other creation. More complex mathematical notions (negative numbers, decimal fractions, coordinate axis, degrees) will be explained on the pages of the book. Children have to be able to use «a mouse», start using labels, etc., as well as count to 480, multiply and divide. The material is written for student self-study for Grade 3-5 students who have basic skills of operating a computer. The goal of the book is introduction into programming, mathematics, sciences for elementary school students. The true story of the Cat and the Flying Dog. «Country capitals» trivia game.Īppendix 6.
