A fun and engaging way to teach programming concepts and techniques to students aged 7-14. Complete course material for a full, year-long extracurricular programming and robotics class. Extra material for teachers who wish to introduce coding and robotics to their pupils. A way for imaginative, future engineers to become familiar with real life programming and robotics terminology and concepts from an early age. A fun home study guide for young learners to start programming and to develop important logical and problem-solving skills while practising creativity. The material in this textbook is aimed at young students aged from 7 to 14 years. The material may be used to teach programming and robotics concepts to students in either a normal classroom environment or in an extra-curricular program. The programming language used is Scratch. Scratch is a programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations -- and share your creations with others around the world. In the process of designing and programming Scratch projects, young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab. It is available for free at How to use this book For students… As a student of programming and robotics you should follow the instructions in this book carefully in order to complete the lessons. As you will have seen in Book 1, throughout each lesson you will see a helper robot. His job is to help you to understand the code and to complete code-building exercises. You will also see many checkpoints. A checkpoint tells you how to check the work you have done. It’s important that you perform each check before continuing to the next step. Learning how and when to check your work will keep you from getting lost and help you fix mistakes faster. As always, feel free to experiment. Be creative! Create your own projects, share ideas with your friends and classmates. Take pride in your creations and always try to do your best. Good luck! For teachers… There are 5 lessons, 4 robotics projects and 3 Videogame projects in this book. Each lesson or project will take a different number of hours to complete. The material in this book will cover an entire school year where class time is approximately 3 – 6 hours a week. At the end of each lesson you will find workbook exercises to check understanding of concepts covered in the lesson. At the beginning of each lesson you will find a table outlining the main learning objectives of each lesson. Robotics Projects 1 – 4: These sections provide a space for students to write a brief description of the project as well as provide sketches, diagrams, flowcharts and coding ideas. For a more in-depth look at how to use this book in your classes as well as extra teaching material such as coding exercises, robotics project ideas and exams, please refer to the teachers’ book ‘Code Crafter 2: Teachers’ Book’.
