A question-led introduction to block coding

Block coding is introduced through the practical idea of joining visual code blocks to direct a robot or create a game. Jill Sherman’s question-and-answer approach also opens onto different ways to code and platforms such as Blockly, giving the subject a range beyond a single activity. “Did You Know” facts and infographics support the explanations, while a recurring Stay Curious! feature encourages further questions and research. A glossary, index, and list of books and websites round out the reference material, making this an entry point to coding concepts as well as a resource for exploring them further.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Elementary-aged readers beginning to explore coding and programming.
  • Children interested in making games, controlling robots, or learning about Blockly.
  • Classroom or makerspace settings seeking an introductory coding resource.
