Code Club Book of Scratch

The first ever Code Club book is here! With it, you'll learn how to code using Scratch, the block-based programming language. In each chapter you'll find instructions to build cool games, animations, and interactive stories. Your friendly robot guide will aid you step-by-step through each project and give you handy tips along the way.

In this book we show you how to use a programming language called Scratch, which uses blocks to tell the computer what to do. Each block contains an instruction that the computer understands. You put blocks together to make your program. Simple.

Learn to code while having fun building projects like:

• Lost in Space: Create an animation that's out of this world
• Ghost Catcher: Build your own spooky ghost-catching game
• Chatbot: Code your own talking character to chat to
• On Target: Learn how co-ordinates work with this fun game
• Boat Race: Create a cool racing game with obstacles to avoid

Code Club is a movement of free, fun computing clubs that meet in over 150 countries all over the world. At Code Club, hundreds of thousands of young people -- just like you -- learn how to create with technology and have made their own games, animations, websites, and more.
