Computational Thinking with Blockly Games (B&W version) : a step-by-step guide for young learners

Many parents want to teach their children about coding but often do not know where to begin or what to cover. The idea for this book evolved to precisely address this need. It is meant for kids and anyone who wants to learn the basics of computer programming and Computational Thinking. 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. The importance of teaching coding from the early school years is recognized by many countries. It is now mandatory under the new education policy of Govt. of India. 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.Dr. Ashok BanerjiFew Reviews:“All books are not for children but for every child there is a book and this book is a wonderful gift designed especially for young students to master the art of Computational Thinking. In fact the book is for every age to learn essential 21st-century skills.”Bratati Bhattacharyya Secretary General and CEO Shikshayatan Foundation“Written as a step-by-step guide in simple language this book will help children to learn coding through gameplay.”Dr. A.M.
