Project Code will guide you through easy-to-learn techniques to expand your creativity and use your imagination when coding. This book builds on your Scratch skills to compose your own music. Try ready-made blocks of code to produce simple projects and use them as inspiration and models for your own ideas. This practical activity book includes projects kids can do in a private online sandbox.
"Elementary-aged readers who have mastered the basics of coding in Scratch and want to go further by learning to make music are guided by a colorful cartoon boy wizard sprite (a two-dimensional bitmap character) in this title in the Project Code series. Readers are introduced to the five main elements of music (pitch, melody, harmony, rhythm, and tone). After downloading the book's website link, readers can follow along with the text's instructions, which correspond to digital Scratch files. Lessons progress from learning individual notes, repeat loops, and subroutines, to multitasking, sending messages, and composing with chords. The book explains what a computer bug is and encourages young coders to repeatedly test-repair-test until they get it right. The answers to questions posed to the reader are found in the back, along with a glossary, index, and further reading. The engaging text, accompanied by bright illustrations and ready-made blocks of code, is useful in helping young coders compose their own music projects."―Booklist
