What is coding and Scratch?

How does a computer understand instructions?

This lesson acts as a short introduction to what coding is and explains the principles of input, process, storage, and output through the use of Scratch, in a practical and fun way.

♦ Introduction to coding.

♦ Introduction into process - storage - process - output.

♦ Introduction to Scratch programming language.

♦ Practical activity where students code each other before moving onto computers. Students love this activity which teaches them about logic and writing commands that a computer will understand.

♦ Practical coding activity to understand the basics of how to move a Sprite and apply what they have learnt in the previous practical task.

This is the first introductory lesson of a unit/project that introduces students to the exciting world of coding! In the project, students will design and code their own educational game for primary year students. The full scheme will be uploaded in March 2023 when it is fully complete.
