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.
