Building Blocks of Programming in Scratch
in Summer Institute on Scratch
General overview of programmatic constructs such as statements, boolean expressions, conditions, loops, variables, threads, and events.
Computer programming is about building and designing executable computer solutions (programs) to specific computing tasks. The job of a computer programmer usually involves coding, debugging, documentation, and testing (all of which are emphasized in this course). However, to successful complete these tasks, an aspiring programmer must first understand the fundamental building blocks.
Getting Started
in Summer Institute on Scratch
Getting started with a Scratch account.
There are several introductions to be made here. First, we’ll get familiar with the Scratch website by creating an account. Then, we’ll explore the coding environment and build our first program. Finally, we’ll discuss testing and debugging our programs.
Introduction to Scratch
in Summer Institute on Introduction, Scratch
A general introduction to MIT Media Lab’s Scratch for beginning programmers.
To the beginning programmer, most programming languages look like gibberish. Consider, for example, the following program, written in a programming language called Java.
