#scratch coding

[indigos-shits-and-giggles]

Anyways so guess who recovered his old Scratch account from almost six years ago, and IMMEDIATELY took that as an opportunity to program a fun dress up game with their fursona.

All the artwork, barring the background, was drawn by yours truly in Procreate. There's a lot of different shirt, pants, and outerwear options. Maybe in the future I'll draw a background myself, and add an option to change backgrounds, too!

Top 6 Reasons Why Scratch Coding is Best for Kids?

Everywhere you look, you will find yourself surrounded by digital technology. These technologies are swimming in an ocean of codes and programs. Children of this century are born into this ocean of programming language and learn to swim in it from a very young age. The introduction to this digital world usually starts with their fascination with video games, and they gradually learn to navigate various applications. The importance of teaching kids to learn computer programming and coding language has gained much prominence among parents, children, and educational institutions. Scratch for kids is the best coding language used by many to introduce a child into this world of coding.

Introduction to Scratch

MIT Media Lab and Playful Invention Company developed Scratch, which is now moderated worldwide by Scratch Foundation, a non-profit organization. They provide this visual block-based programming language for free to beginners who want to develop their coding skills in countries all over the world.

Since it uses a visual method for teaching kids coding, it is a fun way of learning that allows them to create their own games, animations, stories, or other ideas using computational thinking. Moreover, the block-based approach of Scratch coding helps to make learning simpler compared to other coding languages like python or Java. The code blocks resemble puzzle or lego pieces that need to fit appropriately for the program to work, and all a kid must do is drag and drop them.

Top 6 Reasons for Kids to Use Scratch Coding

If you are a kid, using Scratch is the best way to start your coding lessons, and here are a few reasons why:

1) Have Fun Interacting with Scratch:

If you want a coder's life, then Scratch is the best option to start the journey in a fun way that is also highly interactive. Scratch programming is an enjoyable way for kids to create their own games, stories, or animated characters by interacting with scratch characters called sprites. They can make these characters jump, run, sing and dance in real time with the interactive interface. Furthermore, MIT has developed a more straightforward form of Scratch called Scratch Jr, which allows kids to work on various scratch projects by creating their backgrounds and stories. Scratch Jr is available for use on android, Chromebook, and iOS.

2) Scratch Develop Problem-Solving Skills:

This program is the starting point for children to develop and enhance their problem-solving abilities as budding programmers. It uses visual aids to make kids understand the issue and uses problem-solving skills to get the results they want in the creations. Coding scratch programs requires breaking down a problem into smaller sections and then solving it to make it work. Scratch needs the kid to use basic mathematics to find a solution to problems. Moreover, it teaches and promotes using this skill set even in the real world when they face difficult situations.

3) Promote the Creation of Innovative Ideas from Scratch:

Promoting imagination is one of the key focus of the Scratch team, and the program encourages children to use their thinking skills to come up with new innovative ideas of creation. Kids can customize existing sprites or create one on their own. They also have the option to add media like music, graphics, and voices to them using simple programming syntax. This programming language is the perfect platform for a child to use their imaginative skills and easily produce what is there in their minds. The kid can create an entirely new scratch coding game using to program available on the Scratch website.

4) Scratch is Simple to Use and Grasp:

Scratch programming language is so simple and easy to grasp that kids of a very young age can use the program. They can develop coding games with an easy understanding of the fundamentals of coding blocks. The concept behind Scratch is to make learning coding language effortless for children without any sophisticated tutorials. This programming language requires kids to drag and drop the blocks to create a desirable action in the scratch project.

5) Better Planning and Logical Thinking with Scratch:

Logical thinking and planning are two crucial skill sets that you, as a kid, will improve with Scratch. For example, the ability to break down a problem into smaller segments and then create a plan to organize the lego-like code blocks better promotes an analytical thinking process. Scratch for kids, which involves a game development project, requires both these skill sets, and the child can improve them even for real-world projects.

6) Scratch is the Gateway to the World of Programming:

Many coding classes for kids start with Scratch as the starting point for budding coders. Academic institutions like primary and high schools have introduced Scratch as part of their computer science curriculum. The similarity of Scratch with other programming languages like javascript or python makes it an ideal gateway to the world of comprehensive programming. Children learn the importance and function of commands to understand more complicated coding in the future.

Summary

Using Scratch programming is one of the easiest ways for you as a kid to enter the ocean of coding. All that you require is a computer with an internet connection. Then, you can open the scratch website in your web browser and start your coding journey with the easiest of any visual block-based programming language you can find. The benefits of Scratch are many, and it helps a kid develop all of them with innovative learning methods.

hey guys i know this is a long shot but dies anyone here remember a community on scratch that believed/pretended they were ghosts? ghosts had underscores at the end of their usernames and they were usually attached to human masters who they were friends with and helped. i remember finding the community when i was about eight or so, where i was on the sidelines cause i didnt have an underscore. i was bunnymagicyay btw

just curious if anyone remembers it cause i cant find it or traces of it

[tempast-talks]

Man I should make more scratch games

How to develop Kids’ interest in Mobile App Development

There would be no one who doesn’t know what mobile apps are. 

Everybody has a mobile phone and every mobile has many apps. But ever wondered about mobile app development? 

I’m sure you have. 

Then…

How about mobile app development for kids?

Yes, you read it right. 

It sounds far-fetched, right? But, no. 

Kids can learn mobile app development as well. Acquiring any skill can start from a young age, and so is the case with app development.  

In this article, I’ll give you a detailed introduction to mobile app development for kids and how they can do wonders with this skill. 

Let’s take it slow. 

Mobile application development is the process of creating software for smartphones and digital assistants, most typically for Android and iOS. The program can be preloaded on the device, downloaded from a mobile app store, or accessible via a mobile web browser.

5 Things to know before you get started

1. No need for coding for beginners 

To create a mobile app, one needs resources. What tools to use, how to use them, do we teach our kids?

Here, we are trying to simplify the process so the kids will enjoy the learning journey. Especially during the beginning stage. 

So to answer your question; no, the kid doesn’t need coding knowledge. At least, no need for text-based coding languages for beginners. They can start with block-based programming. 

2. Mobile app builder

Kids can develop their own mobile app ideas using mobile app builders. A mobile app builder, often known as a visual programming language, such as Thunkable and MIT Mobile App Inventor, provides a 'drag-and-drop' platform that avoids cumbersome coding syntax.

It’s as simple as it can get. 

3. Coding prodigies

If your kid showed interest in technology and apps. Then mobile app development is a great way to start. Later, you can slowly transition them into more complex computer programming languages and thus making your kids into coding prodigies. 

This kind of skill is extremely useful in the times we are living in. It brings your kid a sea of possibilities in the IT industry. 

4. Android and iOS

Depending on the level of your kid and the language you are learning, you can also narrow it down to one kind of device. Android or iOS. 

Each of these kinds has a huge market and this will open up new opportunities for your kid.

5. Define and fix a problem

When it comes to coding and mobile app development, the kid needs to understand how to define a problem and then solve it. 

Problem resolution is just as vital as the other recommendations. Technical errors will constantly accompany a coder on their journey. As a result, identifying a problem and finding a solution should be your next skill for your kid. 

Everyone, even kids, is prone to failure and obstacles. As a parent, you must constantly help your kid in accepting expected problems in the workplace while still taking measures.

Apart from all these, one other thing to remember is; that building an app necessitates the ability to recall and process information fast. So, if you truly want your kid to excel in this field, strengthening their memory skills should be one of the significant skills to have your kid train.

ALLEN Career Institute, with its 34-year legacy in the education industry, has taken an initiative to revolutionise the online coding classes for kids from Grade 1 to 8 (& above), with its new unit, ALLEN IntelliBrain. The coding classes involve one-on-one tutoring in which the kid can comfortably converse with their mentor, while also asking limitless queries. 

The IntelliBrain childhood development experts team guarantees that all of the advantages of learning to code are addressed and included in the software. 

 Here are some more reasons to nudge your kid to make mobile apps: 

This secures your kid’s future since mastering this skills implies greater work prospects. 

Your kid will grow more skilled with technology while studying mobile app development, which is a valuable talent in and of itself.

Many start-up companies are also recruiting young prodigies in mobile app development. 

Makes your kid technologically smart. 

Coding makes maths fun, which is a huge plus as your kid gets good grades. 

Learning mobile app creation also improves your kid's decision-making, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. 

This gives your kid a new platform for creative expression.
