Getting Started with Coding

An introduction to coding for kids

Coding know-how is the coolest new tool kids can add to their creativity toolboxes--and all they need to get started is a computer connected to the internet and the lessons in this book. Easy!

The book offers fun step-by-step projects to create games, animations, and other digital toys while teaching a bit about coding along the way. Plus, each project has an end goal to instill confidence and a sense of accomplishment in young coders once the project comes to life.

* Create simple applications in Scratch to learn how to build things with coding

* Experiment with "real" coding with tools built in JavaScript

* Use free online tools

* Share what you build with friends, family, and teachers

Get creative and get coding!
