INTRODUCTION TO CHAPTER
SCRATCH PROGRAMMING C1
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student will be able to:
understand the basics and advantages of Scratch.
identify and use different components of the Scratch window.
apply coding blocks to control sprite actions and interactions.
create, save, and open Scratch projects.
A computer also follows stepwise instructions to complete any task known as a
program. You can define a program as a set of systematic instructions that direct
the computer to do specific tasks and get the desired results. Programs are written
in a special language known as a programming language. The person who writes
these programs is known as a programmer.
In this chapter you will learn about Scratch. It is a block-based programming language.
WHAT IS SCRATCH?
Scratch is a visual programming language used to create computer
animation, games and stories. Visual programming means that
rather than having to type the code (instructions), you use blocks of
code that you will put together to create your projects. This makes
it easier to get started. It enables you to see the results of your work
quickly and even includes graphics and sound to it.
ADVANTAGES OF SCRATCH
Scratch is simple, easy to understand and learn. It is used more than many other
programming languages for the following reasons:
