With current initiatives such as the BBC micro:bit encouraging children to develop programming skills this Dummies Junior title is intended as a first step to introducing children to simple coding concepts. Using the MicroWorlds EX tool, a platform designed to teach coding to young students, Camille McCue presents three easy-to-follow projects:
<ASIN: 1119177170>
- Art toy - a project that teaches how to create graphics and apply code to make the graphics into 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 maths into coding
