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.
