A hands-on introduction to computer science concepts for non-technical readers. Activities include word searches, mazes, "Find the Bug!" hunts, matching games, "Color by Boolean" (a twist on the classic Paint by Numbers), and more. The Computer Science Activity Book is the perfect companion for curious youngsters and grown-ups -- especially those who think they'll never understand how computers work. As readers work their way through this collection of fun and innovative hands-on exercises, they'll learn the core programming concepts and computer terminology that form the foundation of a STEM education. Readers learn about historical figures like Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, and Alan Turing; how computers store data and run programs; and how the parts of a computer work together (like the hard drive, RAM, and CPU) through activities that teach foundational programming concepts like drawing a garden of flowers using for loops and creating creatures with conditional statements.

Introduce kids to coding and art, citizen science projects, music composed by artificial intelligence, apps that can transform your voice, conservation and data science, automation, cybersecurity and much more, using projects they can build themselves. That's right, your kids will be building their own Siri-style software in just minutes! It's the essential guide to becoming technology doers not users and accessible to girls and boys with or without adult guidance. Kids will learn to code and create using the Scratch programming language, micro:bit mini computers and simple app building tools. Kids will connect their learning with real-world examples that push their understanding of the ethics, creativity and connections between computer science and the world around them.

Who this book is for: This book is a companion to the author's previous book "Learn CS Concepts with Scratch." It is perfect for students who would like to practice the ideas and concepts they have learned in "Learn CS ..." You will be able to answer a lot of concept review questions and do a series of interesting programming activities. You will get to apply concepts of computer programming and computer science when you write these programs. Why learn programming: The idea of using computer programming as a medium for learning is rapidly gaining acceptance. The benefits of learning programming and computer science concepts well before college - even in elementary grades - are well-understood. Here is a list of some of the amazing things that happen when children engage in computer programming: - Children become active and creative learners, because they explore ideas through a hands-on activity with an infinitely powerful tool.- They learn to think about and analyze their own thinking, because that is the only way to program computers.- They learn to solve complex problems by breaking them into smaller sub-problems.- They learn a new way of thinking (called "computational" thinking).- In the world of programming, answers are not simply "right" or "wrong"; this prepares a child's mindset for real-life problems.- Children's learning processes are transformed from acquiring facts to thinking creatively and analytically.How the book is organized: The book is organized exactly along the lines of the original book: as a series of units - each containing a bunch of CS concepts and associated programming activities. Every programming assignment requires understanding of all the concepts presented in the current as well as all preceding units.
