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 computer programming 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 a jigsaw puzzle. Blocks are easier to use

                 than text-based programming as we do not need to remember the commands
                 to be typed. The series of connected blocks is known as a script. We drag the

                 blocks into the programming area to create a script.
