Introduce
In this article, a DevTech research team reveals the amazing features and capabilities of ScratchJr, a programming language designed for kids. Developed by Marina Bers and her team, ScratchJr allows young learners to unleash their creativity and create their own stories, animations and games. Through a series of tutorials and activities, ScratchJr makes your first steps into the world of programming fun and exciting.
Getting started with ScratchJr
To use ScratchJr, users must open the application and click the Home button. From there, they can create a new project on a blank page. The application offers various activities that users can choose by adding new backgrounds from the library. Selecting a background is as easy as clicking on a thumbnail. Likewise, users can select characters from the library by clicking the Add button and scrolling through the options.
Change activity
ScratchJr allows users to customize their activities by changing backgrounds and roles. To delete a character, users can tap and hold on the character, then tap the dancing “x” to delete it. To move the character to the desired location, users simply tap and drag it on the screen.
Programming activities
To program the character’s movements, ScratchJr provides color-coordinated buttons on the left side of the screen. The user needs to drag the corresponding block from the palette onto the white canvas area. By connecting blocks, users can create programs for characters. Some blocks have special features, such as: B. Numeric fields that can be changed by clicking and using the keyboard.
Turn projects into reality
After completing all required changes and programming, users can save their project by clicking anywhere on the screen. To see their character in action, users can click on the Program button and watch their creation come to life.
The limit lies in your imagination
With ScratchJr, the possibilities are endless. In addition to the activities provided, users can express their creativity and create their own projects. Users are limited only by their imagination, as shown in the example of Swimmy, who wanted to leave a message on the ball and make it move. ScratchJr gave Swimmy the power to bring this idea to life, even turning him into a wizard who summoned tornadoes in front of cheering crowds!
Diploma
ScratchJr is the ultimate programming language for kids, giving young learners a creative and intuitive platform to express themselves and build important skills in a fun and engaging way. The possibilities are endless, and with ScratchJr, the next generation of coding enthusiasts can let their imaginations run wild! 💡
