Presentation
Overview
Importance of Computer Science
Computer science is an increasingly important field in today's world, with a
wide range of applications in business, science, and technology. We will
explore why it is important to learn computer science and how it can help
you achieve your goals.

Basics of Coding
We will cover the basics of coding, including the key vocabulary you need
to know and the fundamental principles of programming. This will give you
a solid foundation to build on as you continue your coding journey.

Resources and Getting Started


Finally, we will explore the resources available on Code.org and how to get
started with your coding journey. You will learn about the various tools and
platforms available to help you learn and practice coding, and how to make
the most of them.
Why Learn to Code?

Career Opportunities
Learning to code opens up numerous career opportunities
in the growing field of computer science.

Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving, and Creativity


Learning to code develops critical thinking, problem-
solving, and creativity which are crucial skills in modern-
day technology.
Introduction to Coding
Vocabulary
Algorithm
An algorithm is a set of instructions for solving a problem or performing a
task. It is the foundation of coding and computer science.

Behavior
Behavior refers to the actions of an object or character in a program. It is
used to create interactive and responsive programs.

Sprite
A sprite is a graphical object that can be moved around on the screen. It is
often used to represent characters or objects in a game or simulation.

Code
Code is the set of instructions that a computer can understand and execute.
It is written in a programming language and is used to create programs and
applications.
Algorithm
What is an Algorithm?
An algorithm is a set of instructions that a computer follows to
perform a specific task. Algorithms are essential in computing
and play a critical role in the development of modern
technology.
What is Behavior in Coding
In coding, behavior refers to the actions of a sprite or
object in response to a command or an event.
Understanding how to program different behaviors into
your objects is crucial for developing interactive software.

Examples of Object Behaviors


Some common behaviors that you can program into an
object include movement, rotation, scaling, and collision
detection. Learning how to program these behaviors can
help you create more dynamic and interactive software.

Behavior
Program
What is a program?
A program is a set of instructions that tells a computer what to
do to perform a specific task.

Key components
There are key components necessary for programming, such as
programming languages, algorithms, variables, data types, and
control structures.
Sprite

What is a Sprite?
A sprite is a two-dimensional image or animation that can
be manipulated by a program on a computer screen, and
can interact with other objects or characters.
Background
Static Background Image
In coding, the background is the static image that serves as a
backdrop for other objects on the screen. You can choose from
a wide variety of images to use as the background of your
coding project.

Customizable Colors
You can customize the background color of your coding project
to make it stand out or simply to match your own personal
style.

Patterns
In addition to using static images or custom colors, you can
also choose from a variety of patterns to use as the background
of your coding project.
Code

Coding Languages
Coding languages are used to create computer programs and
applications. We will explore the basic syntax of coding languages and
how they are used to write programs.

Writing Your Own Code


We will learn how to write basic code and understand the basic concepts
of programming, such as variables, loops, and logic.
Display Customizing Display
Display customization involves making sure that the output
from your computer program is visually appealing and easy
to understand. An easy way to do this is by using different
colors and fonts to highlight important parts of your code
or output.

Visual Appeal
The visual appeal of your display is important when
presenting your coding project. Use images, graphs, and
charts to convey complex information in a more visually
appealing way.
