This simple, unplugged introduction to algorithms is designed for young readers not yet ready for coding on computers. Beloved characters Elsa and Anna, from Disney's Frozen franchise, draw in readers new to coding concepts.How do computers know what to do? Do they have brains? Of course not! People write lines of code that tell a computer what to do. Several lines of code make up an algorithm. You can write algorithms too! You can even write algorithms for a friend instead of a computer.
Well done introductory book for beginners to grasp coding definitions and exercises. Frozen is a great one to start with, and we’ll likely read the other 3 in the series. Kids are so malleable and smart if you give them the chance! I was impressed.
This title introduces the basic coding concept of algorithm sand how to write them in basic steps using the familiar characters from the beloved film, Frozen. It makes computers and coding both fun and accessible to early, elementary aged students. Part of the series Disney Coding Adventures, it comes highly recommended.
