by  • 

Hmm, I want this  book for me, I’ll read it then I’ll give it to my kids, I think I need it  more, I’m old and  I can’t keep up with everything  anymore… Seriously though it’s nice to see books like this coming out for  kids, I know my oldest is trying this stuff, coding I mean, and he’s getting there I guess but he doesn’t have the patience or knowledge really. Oh well, PR below about the book and where to get it..

“Learning to code empowers kids,” said author Camille McCue, PhD. “Coding for Kids melds math, graphic design, storytelling and logic into fun projects that kids can produce and transform using their own heads and hearts. I love watching my students as they work through each project, crafting wildly different adaptations of the same underlying code, and then sharing their creations in a storm of cheers and applause!”

Coding For Kids introduces coding through a series of easy-to-follow, kid-tested projects. Each project teaches elementary-to-middle-school-aged students core coding concepts they can use to build games, applications or other digital tools. This full-color guide includes access to MicroWorlds EX, a leading coding tool from Logo Computer Systems Inc. (LCSI) that has been designed specifically for kids. The book features 15 coding projects using MicroWorlds EX that show readers how to create games, simulations and animations as well as how to use their new coding skills to create their own digital inventions.

“Coding For Kids is exactly what kids and their parents have been waiting for. It provides kids with the knowledge they need to express their creativity through coding,” said LCSI president Michael Quinn. “It has always been LCSI’s goal to enable kids to use technology to be digital creators, not just digital consumers. Coding for Kids will inspire young coders to design and create whatever they can imagine.”
