About This Presentation

It has questions and also some activities, with the expected time for each part taking a class of 1h30 min, I hope it help someone that was needing to learn about this things, it has also videos explaining how the main parts work inside of the computer.

Introduction to Block-Based Coding By Nickolas Bragato Understanding Scratch and Visual Programming

What is Block-Based Programming? Definition: A visual way to write code using draggable blocks. Key features: No need to type code — prevents syntax errors. Focuses on learning logic and structure. Great for beginners and visual learners.

Scratch Interface Overview Main sections: Stage: Where sprites perform actions. Sprite List: Shows all characters and objects. Block Menu: Contains draggable coding blocks. Script Area: Where blocks are connected to create code.

Basic Blocks in Scratch Motion Blocks: Move, turn, glide. Looks Blocks: Change costumes, display messages. Event Blocks: Start scripts (e.g., "When green flag clicked"). Blocks snap together like puzzle pieces to build logic.

Live Demonstration (Scratch) Explore the Scratch interface. Drag a motion block to move the sprite. Add a " say " block to show a message. Watch how blocks trigger actions instantly!

Hands-On Activity Task: Use motion blocks to move a sprite. Instructions: Move right, left, up, and down. Add a message when reaching the edge of the screen. Tip: Use the green flag to start the program

Quick Quizz What is a sprite? R: Any character or object. How do scripts run in Scratch? R: When their corresponding event block is triggered, executing blocks from top to bottom. Which block makes an action start? R: The " when green flag clicked " block is the most common block to start an action in Scratch, but any hat block (like " when [event] happens ") can start a script!
