Lesson 1

• What is coding?
• How do I make my
character move using code?
Problem solving
• Identify, define, and analyze a problem
• How to brush your teeth?
• Identify the problem: You need to brush your
teeth.
• Break it into steps: Get your toothbrush, put
toothpaste on it, brush for 2 minutes, rinse
Activity
• How to cross the road?
• “How to pack a school bag?”
What is computer
programming/coding
??
Coding/programming is…
• Writing a list of instructions that you
want the computer to follow in a
certain order.
Scratch
• One program that allows us to make
SIMPLE games/videos/stories/etc.
• Gives us the tools to make our own
programme.
EXAMPLE
• Scratch works like LEGO for programming. Just like you snap LEGO bricks
together to build something, in Scratch, you snap blocks of code together
to create animations, games, and stories.“
• Building a LEGO Tower: If you want to make a tall LEGO tower, you snap
blocks on top of each other. Similarly, in Scratch, you snap blocks of code
to make your character (called a sprite) perform actions like walking,
jumping, or talking.

Programming In Scratch!

• In the upper, center corner of your


Scratch window, you will see 10 buttons .
• Each of these buttons have programming
blocks in those particular areas.
• We will first experiment with the Motion
blocks.
Scratch

Motion!
• Motion blocks are the blocks that control a
sprite's movement.
• There are 17 Motion blocks in Scratch 2.0 .
• Ex:-
 Move () Steps — Moves the sprite forward
the amount of steps.

Go to X: () Y: () — Moves the sprite to the


specified X and Y position.
Scratch

Motion!

• Drag out the “move 10 steps” block.

• Change the “10” to “50” by clicking in the


block and typing in 50.
• To see your sprite move 50 pixels to the
right, double click on the block in the
Script area. Cool, isn’t it?!
Real life example
• "What happens when you want to move a toy
car? What actions do you take?
• just like moving a toy car, we give instructions
in Scratch using motion blocks to control the
sprite's position, speed, and direction.
Bouncing Ball

Question: Can your sprite bounce up by 10, wait


for 1 second, and then come back down?
• Question: Make the sprite glide to a random
position, wait 1 second, and glide again.
• Question: When I click left key, Rotate the
sprite left, wait 1 second, and then rotate it
right?
•

Question: Can your sprite walk in a square?


Move forward 10 steps, go up by 10, and wait
for 1 second at each corner.
