About the Computer Coding For Kids (Ages 8-16)

Computer Coding For Kids (Ages 8-16) is the visual, step-by-step guide that helps Year 4–Year 11 pupils master Scratch and Python at home—with clear projects, instant results, and no prior experience needed. If you want your child to build real games, animations, and problem-solving skills for GCSE Computer Science and beyond, this DK guide delivers friendly, jargon-free instruction you can follow together, even if coding feels new to you both.

Inside, seven build-along projects—including Monkey Mayhem and Bubble Blaster—teach essential concepts like scripts, variables, and strings through doing, not just reading. Each project is broken into numbered steps with visual examples, so your child sees exactly what to type and what happens next. Expert tips, a glossary of key terms, and profiles of famous coders keep learning engaging, while the hands-on approach supports STEM skills such as creative thinking, collaboration, and systematic reasoning—all valued in the English National Curriculum and increasingly sought after by schools and employers.

Step-by-step coding project with Scratch blocks and game sprites — Clear, numbered instructions guide pupils through each Scratch project, showing exactly which code blocks to use and how sprites interact on screen.

Your child gains the confidence to experiment, customise projects, and tackle new challenges independently. Because every concept is introduced visually and reinforced through practice, even complete beginners make progress quickly—and you'll find it easy to support them without a computing degree. The book covers both Scratch (which runs in any browser at scratch.mit.edu) and Python 3, so your child explores two of the most popular languages used in education and industry. It's a physical book that arrives ready to use, with everything explained in straightforward British English and aligned to the curriculum expectations from Year 3 through to GCSE.

Whether your child is preparing for Computer Science assessments, exploring a new hobby, or building skills for the future, this guide offers a calm, structured path from first steps to finished projects. Designed for parents and children to learn side by side, it turns screen time into creative, productive learning that lasts well beyond the final page.
