Computer Science for kids : Learning by doing
by Dimos Raptis

English | 2021 | ISBN: NA | 69 Pages | PDF | 10.4 MB

An accessible introduction to Computer Science for kids, where they can learn everything about Computer Science step by step while learning how to program a computer. The goal of this book is to make Computer Science accessible to kids. Computer Science is a complex field and kids have a short attention span. Taking this into account, this book introduces kids to the field of Computer Science in a gradual and incremental way, helping them learn how to program a computer. The book starts from the basics, such as how to write a basic Python program, and moves on to more advanced topics, such as how to write a web application and how the Internet works. All of this is done in an accessible way, so the reader can follow along regardless of whether they know how a computer works or not. The only thing that you need is a laptop and the will to learn new things!

Prerequisites
The book assumes the reader knows how to perform very basic operations of a computer, such as using a browser to visit a website, follow instructions to download a program from a website etc. However, there are no prerequisites on programming at all, any kid with rudimentary knowledge of mathematics (addition/multiplication etc.) should be able to follow along. The book contains diagrams and simplified instruction steps to help with this. The target age is kids that are 10 years old or more, but slightly younger kids might also be able to enjoy the book.

Giving feedback
If you (or your kid) have read the book, please feel free to reach out and give me some feedback. I would love to hear what you liked or didn't like, so that I can improve the book.
