SuitabookCoding for Kids for Dummies
Camille McCue
- Reading
- Try a project together, pausing to predict what each instruction will do. Treat errors as part of the activity: test one change at a time, then celebrate a working result or a new idea to explore.
- Themes
- Learning through projects: Readers follow project steps to make digital creations, then have opportunities to test and enhance them. The structure makes coding concepts concrete through making and revising; it is presented as instruction rather than a story.
- Worth knowing
- The guide introduces programming languages, interfaces and debugging, so some activities involve following technical steps and working through errors. A reader may benefit from help setting up or troubleshooting a project.
