Preface
Scratch 2.0 (released May 9, 2013) is the second major version of Scratch to be released during the life of theproduct. Among other things, it features a redesigned editor and website, and allows you to edit projects directly from your web browser.
This module is one in a collection of modules designed to help beginners of all ages (8 and up) learn how to create the code for computer programs using Scratch 2.0 . Information is provided not only for the beginners themselves but also for their parents and teacherswhere appropriate.
The purpose of this module is to teach you about structured programming; the sequence structure, the selection structure, and the loop structure. The module will also teach you how to write a Scratch program that illustrates the selection structure, mouse events, and Cartesian coordinates .
Finally, the module presents a student project by which you can demonstrate your understanding of the concepts learned from studying the module.
