This was last summer. A nice intro to the types of instructions that can be given.

Great course, especially for young enthusiastic minds who love computers. This course helped me to excel in Scratch and build up my skills as a programmer.

Everyone who is thinking to learn about programming I recomend to do this course. With it we can learn easily how to think to programming by yourself.
