Introduction to Coding

The book is an Activity-based series explaining coding in Analytical, Logical and Computational way. This series of books is from 1 to 8 classes, and will give the students a strong base in the field of coding, Problem-solving abilities, and beyond! The book is as per the latest National Education Policy (NEP) and introduces the concept of coding from an early age.

The book starts with a brief introduction to the world of Coding and the opportunities which come across. The concept is explained by interactive, hands-on activities. Further, a brief introduction to Block coding, Algorithm, Flowchart, Pseudocode is given. Then the concept of Variable and Data types has been explained in Block Coding.

Lastly, the book explains the concept of Conditional Statements, Logical Operators, and Loops through activities and basic programming skills.

Book will help to simplify the coding learning experience by making children to design thinking, logical flow of ideas and apply this across the disciplines.
