Hello Ruby: Adventures in Coding

Hello Ruby #1

by Linda Liukas

"Hello Ruby is half picture book and half activity book rolled into one adorable package. It introduces programming without requiring a computer at all. The point of the book isn’t to teach you a programming language, but programming concepts." --GeekMom.com

Meet Ruby―a small girl with a huge imagination, and the determination to solve any puzzle. As Ruby stomps around her world making new friends, including the Wise Snow Leopard, the Friendly Foxes, and the Messy Robots, kids will be introduced to the fundamentals of computational thinking, like how to break big problems into small ones, create step-by-step plans, look for patterns and think outside the box through storytelling. Then, these basic concepts at the core of coding and programming will be reinforced through fun playful exercises and activities that encourage exploration and creativity.

In Ruby's world anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Al principio me pareció que el cuento, aunque tenía algunas ideas básicas, no profundizada lo suficiente en lo que yo quería enseñar en clase. Sin embargo, el verdadero valor del libro está en la secuencia de actividades que vienen después. A partir de ahí sí que merece la pena. ¡Buena compra! Por el momento estoy dando los primeros pasos con mis alumnos. De aquí a unos meses veré los resultados.
