This document provides an introduction to learning how to code with Scratch. It discusses the importance of coding by emphasizing skills like problem solving and resilience. The core concepts covered include sequencing, branching, and looping as fundamental logic patterns. Examples are given of quizzes and games created in Scratch to demonstrate these patterns. The document outlines a 3-part plan to introduce digital artwork, animated stories, and building a computer game to teach additional coding concepts.

1. Learn to code
Let’s start with Scratch

3. Why is coding important?
1. Empowering, creative, digital literacy, encourages curiosity
2. Create digital solutions
3. Technology consumption vs technology creation
4. Resilience through failure
5. Problem solving as a pathway to entrepreneurship

4. How do we
learn?
● Methodical

● Resilience

5. 3 logic patterns
1. ?
2. ?
3. ?

6. 3 logic patterns
1. Sequencing
2. Branching
3. Looping

7. 6 fundamental
concepts of
coding

8. 3 logic patterns
Sequence
- Order of actions
- E.g. a recipe for a cake

9. 3 logic patterns
Branching
- Computer checks for conditions
- Computer makes a decision based on conditions
- Real life examples: traffic lights, air conditioner

10. 3 logic patterns
Looping
- Repeat:
- Forever
- For a number of times
