    GETTING STARTED WITH                                                                   CHAPTER

                      SCRATCH3.0                                                                             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 your earlier grades, you worked with Scratch Junior, which is a simpler version of

                      Scratch. This year, we will be moving on to Scratch 3.0, a more advanced platform
                      where you can create bigger and more interactive projects.

                      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.
