Cover subtitle: Get creative with code!
Summary: This book introduces simple coding concepts over the course of three projects a child can follow to create a computer game, simulation, and design tool. The projects use the MicroWorlds EX tool (a 35-day trial of the software is provided with the book via download), a platform designed specifically to teach coding to young students. The projects include: Art toy - a project that teaches how to create graphics and apply code to make the graphics to things; Traffic Dodge - a game based on the arcade classic 'Frogger' that teaches how to make things that respond to motion and collision commands; Happy Birthday - a simulation that introduces score-keeping and math into coding.
