AIM: PRACTICE USING SCRATCH PROGRAMMING.


Scratch is a visual programming language and an online community where children can
program and share interactive media such as stories, games, and animations with people from
all over the world. Scratch is a simple, block-based programming language designed for beginners.
It uses colorful, drag-and-drop blocks to create games, animations, and stories, making coding visual
and fun.

How to learn Scratch step by step?


Here’s a step-by-step approach to learning Scratch:
1. Explore Scratch: Head to Scratch’s website and check out the interface. You can browse
existing projects for inspiration.
2. Get Coding: Start a new project and familiarize yourself with the layout. The coding blocks are
on the left, the stage is in the center, and the sprite list is on the right.
3. Build Your Characters: Add sprites (characters) from the library or create your own. You can
customize their appearance with costumes.
4. Code with Blocks: Scratch uses drag-and-drop coding blocks. Explore the different categories
(motion, looks, sound, etc.) and start with simple commands like moving your sprite.
5. Make it Interactive: Add events like “when green flag clicked” to trigger your code. Use loops
and conditional statements to make your program more interactive.
6. Experiment and Share: Don’t be afraid to experiment and try new things

Advantages of Scratch
1. Easy-to-understand interface:
2. Promotes logical thinking:
3. There is no need for a compiler:
4. Free programming language:
5. Encourages Problem-Solving:

Disadvantages of Scratch
1. Does not offer a progression to text-based programming languages:
2. Scratch programmers suffer from code smells, dead code, and duplication.
3. Lack of advanced coding features
4. No 3D projects
5. Others can take credit for your work
