Chapter: - 3 Often used to create games, animations, and
stories.
Block Programming Makes learning to code more engaging and
creative.
3. Where block Programming is used?
1. What is block Programming? In tools like scratch, Blockly, Code.org, and MIT App
Block Programming is a way to writing computer Inventor. Widely used in schools to teach programming
programs using blocks (shapes or puzzle-like pieces) basics.
instead of traditional typing. 4. What is offline Block Programming?
Where, It means using block-based coding without internet.
Each block represents a command or These programs work on computer directly after
instruction (like “move”, “say something”, installation. For example: Scratch desktop, mBlock,
“repeat”, etc.). Tynker Desktop App, etc.
Block can be dragged and dropped to make 5. What is a Micro bit?
a program. It is a small, pocket-sized programmable computer also
Blocks fit together like puzzle pieces: - only called a microcontroller which was developed by the
correct pieces can connect. BBC (UK) to help students learn coding and electronics
2. Purpose or Features of Block Programming: - in a fun, hands-on way.
a. Make programming easier:
No need to type complicated code. 6. Write the features of Micro bit: -
Avoids spelling and grammar mistakes (syntax The features of Micro bit are as follows: -
errors). Size
Good for beginners and children. Led Display
b. Visual learning: - Buttons
You can see how the program flows. Sensors
Helps understand logic step-by-step. Bluetooth
c. Learn basic programming concepts: - USB port
You learn loops, conditions, variables, and
events in a simple way.
Builds a strong foundation for text-based
coding later. 7. How Micro bit is programmed?
d. Interactive and fun:-
It can be programmed by using Block Programming like The features of UNO are as follows: -
scratch. Text programming using python or javascript. Microcontroller
8. What are the applications of Micro bit? Digital Pins
The applications of Micro bit are as follows: - Analog pins
Education Power supply
DIY projects USP port
Sensors and measurement Reset Button
Games
Communication
Robotics
Fitness Devices
9. What is Arduino?
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform used to
build electronic projects which includes a
microcontroller board like UNO and a software (IDE) to
write and upload code to the board.
IN simple words: Arduino is a small computer you can
program to control things like lights, motors, sensors,
and more.
10.What is UNO?
UNO is a popular board that lets you control electronics
by writing code.
11.What can you do with UNO?
Home Automation: Control lights, fans or
alarms.
Environment Monitor: Measure temperature,
humidity, air quality.
Robotics: Control wheels, sensors, and motors.
Education: Learn about circuits and
programming.
