INTRODUCTION
What is programming?
Programming is the process of creating a set of
instructions that tell a computer how to perform a
task.

Why is programming important?


Our world today needs more creative programmers to
be a part of development of the world, whether by
writing computer programs, smart phone applications,
or programming devices.
• What are programming languages?
Electronic devices communicate with each other and
with humans in different languages called programming
languages.
We will get to know one of the simplest of these
languages as a start, which is programming in the
scratch program.
Start Scratching!
It is time we have some adventure, action, and fun.
There are two ways we can use Scratch.

The most important components of the main screen of Scratch:
1. Blocks (code) Area: where all the blocks are shown.
2. Script Area: the area where you create and view the scripts you have
chosen.
3. Sprites area: where the Sprites used in the project are located.
4. Stage area: where we can see the final program.
5. Backdrops: a place where you can choose different backgrounds.

Sprites are objects that you can add to your project. The blocks we choose
from the code tab are applied to these sprites. Backdrops are the
backgrounds we can choose for our projects
