Beginners will find Scratch easy to learn since it is use visual elements and simplified drag and drop functionality.
The course has been created specifically for kids with the primary purpose of giving them an early exposure to understanding the basics of coding and programming. They could also have the opportunity to develop one of these game ideas for Scratch shown above.
Despite the simplicity of Scratch, it is good for learning programming and lets kids create projects that have a relatively high level of complexity as they learn more and more.
