Building Your First Program

Get Started With Coding

Writing your first program is easier than you think! All you need is a computer and a simple programming language like Python or Scratch.

Steps to Success

  1. Choose a programming language you like.
  2. Open a code editor (like Scratch online or IDLE for Python).
  3. Write a simple instruction, such as printing your name.
  4. Run the program and see what happens!

Tips

  • Start with small projects.
  • Don't worry about making mistakes; debugging is part of learning!

Examples

  • Creating a 'Hello, world!' program in Python.

  • Making a simple animation in Scratch.
