About the Book – Master Scratch Programming

Programming is the language of the future. Platforms like Google, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have become an integral part of our daily lives — and all of them were created by people we call: programmers.

Recognizing the growing demand for programmers, developed nations have integrated programming into school curricula from an early age, using tools designed to simplify and teach coding concepts to children.

Scratch is one such programming language created specifically for kids and beginners. Engineers at The Engineering Village were inspired by its simplicity and potential — and decided to introduce it to young Arabic learners through this book, as a gateway to becoming future programmers.
