SCRATCHJR PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE


                 ScratchJr is a programming language that is developed for young children to
                 create their own interactive projects through coding. Using ScratchJr, students

                 can snap together various blocks to make characters move, jump, dance and
                 sing. This language encourages creativity and expression by enabling children

                 to modify how their characters look and design their own background.

                           BLOCKS OF SCRATCHJR


                 Blocks are like puzzle-piece shapes that are used to create code in ScratchJr.

                 We connect the blocks to each other like jigsaw puzzles. Blocks are easier to
                 use than text-based programming as they do not need to be memorised like

                 typed commands. The series of connected blocks is known as a script. We
                 drag the blocks into the programming area to create a script.
