绘编程是一个入门级的编程语言,它的核心理念是基于情景化编程,情境主要来自于孩子身边科学、来自孩子绘本阅读的素材中。它可以让幼儿 ( 5-7岁 ) 创建互动的故事和游戏,孩子利用图形化的程序积木让角色移动、跳跃、舞蹈、唱歌。孩子也可以利用绘图编辑器绘制自己的角色、用麦克风录制自己声音、用照相机加入自己拍摄的照片。最后用拼积木的方法组合成程序,让他们心中的角色动起来。 绘编程这个软件的创作灵感来自于 Scratch。在全球有数以百万计的年轻人 ( 8 岁以上 ) 使用 Scratch,是个非常受欢迎的编程语言。而绘编程 则重新设计操作界面及编程语言,让它更适合幼儿,尤其专注将功能设计地更符合他们的认知、个人、社会、情感发展。 编码 ( 或电脑编程 ) 是新世代的必备素养,就像写作能帮助你组织思路、表达观点,编程也是一样。在过去,编程很难普及,但我们认为每个人都该具备这样的能力,就像写作能力一样。
