Download or read book Scratch for 8 12 year olds You Can Code and Draw in Scratch written by Seamus O'Neill and published by Seamus O'Neill. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains twenty four short projects in eBook or spiral-bound print format for children 8 - 12 years. They are grouped into pairs by colour to cover 12 Sessions. Each is a draw and code assignment in Scratch to foster creative thinking with graphical skills. Scratch +Ready-Steady-Code connects essential coding concepts with children’s imaginations for them to create games, animations and stories almost without limitations. Seamus O’Neill’s Ready-Steady-Code is all about the extra magic, creativity and fun that vector sprites and fine-line grids bring to Scratch. More than 85% of Scratch sprites are vectors. Only 15% are bitmaps. Vector sprites are graphical drawings consisting of lines and shapes with colour fills. Bitmaps consist of difficult pixels. Vectors are much more flexible and easier to use. They can be ungrouped into their basic shapes which you can easily manipulate, re-colour and re-shape into new sprites or new costumes. You can also draw your own sprites (when the sprite you need is not available in the library). The term ‘paint’ is used for bitmaps but ‘draw’ is more suitable for vectors. This book shows children how to turn a bug into a spider, a butterfly into a bee, a skating penguin into a musician and much more. The vector toolbox is shown down along the right hand side when you open the Paint Editor in Vector Mode. This is because the cat sprite is a vector image. If you’re working on a bitmap image, you find the bitmap tools down along the left side. SCRATCH +Ready-Steady-Code empowers the adults to take up the challenge that comes with being a parent, mentor or educator of children in this age of technology. The cards address the adult’s confidence and competence while also facilitating children to learn coding and graphical drawing at the same time. OK! Are you Ready? Are you Steady? Let’s Code!

In Learn to Program with Scratch, author Majed Marji uses Scratch to explain the concepts essential to solving real-world programming problems. The labeled, color-coded blocks plainly show each logical step in a given script, and with a single click, you can even test any part of your script to check your logic. You'll learn how to: –Harness the power of repeat loops and recursion –Use if/else statements and logical operators to make decisions –Store data in variables and lists to use later in your program –Read, store, and manipulate user input –Implement key computer science algorithms like a linear search and bubble sort Hands-on projects will challenge you to create an Ohm's law simulator, draw intricate patterns, program sprites to mimic line-following robots, create arcade-style games, and more! Each chapter is packed with detailed explanations, annotated illustrations, guided examples, lots of color, and plenty of exercises to help the lessons stick. Learn to Program with Scratch is the perfect place to start your computer science journey, painlessly. Uses Scratch 2
