Series: Lift-the-flap

An entertaining, easy-to-follow introduction for complete beginners

Lift the flaps to reveal what's inside a computer, how chips work and what really happens when you go on the internet, explained with the help of friendly robots. Fun puzzles and a treasure hunt game illustrate the basics of coding, from simple commands to repeating sets of instructions, with real examples in the coding language Scratch™. Includes internet links to specially selected websites where readers can discover even more coding ideas, tips and games. Computer coding is a compulsory topic on the UK National Curriculum for primary schools, and children learn to create and debug simple programs at Key Stage 1.

Reviews for Computers and Coding (Lift-the-Flap)

'With its equal mix of quirky facts and puzzles to try, Lift-the-flap Computers and Coding provides a whole new technique for learning how computer coding runs... The use of flaps and colourful cartoon-style illustrations helps bring a really difficult topic to a level children can master and many adults will find it useful too.' - LoveReading4Kids 'I really liked the lift the flap game on the giving instructions page, which is where Pixel the Pirate has to be helped to find the treasure by following the instructions. Computer languages, such as Scratch, are very well introduced, and at a level that would be suitable for any junior school child (aged 7-11). There are links to Usborne's online activities too - very useful.' = Reader revoew. Toppsta 'A fun introduction to what can be seen as quite a technical subject.' - LoveReading4Kids
