Synopsis

What do programs tell computers to do? And how are they written?

Once you know the basics about computer programming, use the link in this book to go online and try out your new skills! Self-directed projects and activities help kids learn the basics of coding.

What's an algorithm? How do you fix bugs? What is an app? How do you program a computer game? The Kids Get Coding series leads students through the basics of computer programming using real-world examples and practical activities.
