The LEAD Project

Super Scratch Programming Adventure! is part instruction manual and part graphic novel. Mitch and Scratchy are trapped in a battle with the Dark Wizard and his Minions. You, the reader, can extradite them from predicaments using Scratch. The story may not be engrossing, but it is a novel and entertaining way to introduce step-by-step coding instructions. The reader is simultaneously creating video games and inhabiting one. By the end of each of the book's ten chapters, the reader will have a fully functioning game created from scratch (both literally and figuratively), with each chapter building upon knowledge from previous chapters.

Fun, easy, satisfying.

The book is available in print or ebook (PDF) format.

Classroom teachers may not have the available time to devote to programming with Scratch, but they should certainly become familiar with it. Computer club advisers, homeschoolers, scouting groups, and parents of young "tech geeks" should not waste a minute in checking out Scratch's infinite possibilities. Suggested for ages 8 and up.
