Computational Thinking with Blockly Games
Dr Ashok Banerji
Many parents want to teach their children about coding but often don't know where to begin or what to cover. The idea for this book evolved to address this need precisely. It is meant for kids and anyone wanting to develop Computational Thinking and learn the basics of coding. Welcome to the world of Computational Thinking for young learners.
The book covers foundational problem-solving concepts through simple games, taking young students on a journey of thinking, planning, and solving problems. Many countries recognize the importance of teaching CT and coding from the early school years. It is now mandatory under the new education policy of Govt. of India.
To adapt and absorb new material in changing fields, it is crucial for today's children not only to acquire knowledge but also to learn how to learn. This book aims to aid this process, promoting creativity and innovation.
Blockly Games have been adopted in this book as an enjoyable way to introduce computational thinking and programming concepts. The book follows a graded pedagogy with guided discovery, semi-guided lessons, and open-ended exploration.
This book hopes to build a strong foundation in coding principles through a journey consisting of
Guided lessons (Chapters 1 to 14)
Semi-guided lessons with exercises (Chapters 15 to 16)
Exploratory lessons (Chapters 17 to 20)
Any suggestions for improvement are welcome.
