PRESENTATION
OVERVIEW
Introduction to Code.org
Code.org is a non-profit organization dedicated to expanding
access to computer science education and increasing participation
by women and underrepresented minorities.

Basic Coding Exercises

Code.org provides a platform for basic coding exercises that teach
users how to use blocks to create simple programs. This is a great
way for beginners to learn the basics of coding.

Creating a Program with Sprites and Backgrounds

The Code.org platform allows users to create programs using

INTRODUCTION TO
CODE.ORG
Computer Science Education
Code.org is a non-profit organization that provides computer
science education to people around the world, offering a variety of
resources such as coding exercises, lesson plans, and professional
development for teachers.

Accessibility
Code.org believes that everyone should have the opportunity to
learn computer science, regardless of their background or
circumstances.
THE BASIC CODING
EXERCISES
Block-Based Programming
The basic coding exercises on Code.org use block-based
programming to help beginners learn coding concepts. It allows
users to drag and drop blocks of code to create programs without
worrying about syntax errors.

Moving Characters
The exercises teach users how to use blocks to move characters in
a virtual world. Learning to use these blocks helps users develop
an understanding of how to control objects within a program.

Changing Appearance
Users learn how to use blocks to change the appearance of
characters in a virtual world. This helps users develop the skills
needed to create complex animations and games.
CREATING A SIMPLE PROGRAM USING
SPRITES AND BACKGROUNDS: STEP 1
Selecting a Background Image and Sprite
To create a simple program using sprites and
backgrounds, the first step is to select a suitable
background image and a sprite that will interact with it.
The background image and sprite selection will set the
overall tone and theme of your program.
CREATING A SIMPLE PROGRAM USING
SPRITES AND BACKGROUNDS: STEP 2
Sprite Control with Blocks
We will learn how to use blocks to control the movement
of the sprite, allowing us to create a simple game or
animation.
CREATING A SIMPLE PROGRAM
USING SPRITES AND
BACKGROUNDS: STEP 3
Adding Interactivity
To add interactivity to our program, we will use conditions and
variables. We will explore how to use if statements to create
different outcomes based on user input, and how to use variables to
keep track of scores or other important information.
Code.org - Fun and Accessible
CONCLUSION Code.org is a user-friendly platform that offers a fun and accessible way
to learn coding. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced
programmer, Code.org has something to offer. With basic coding
exercises and simple programming tools, you can learn fundamental
coding concepts.
