mBlock
mBlock 5
A powerful platform for coding designed for STEM education
mBlock 5, based on Scratch 3.0, is specially designed to support STEM education. By supporting block-based and text-based programming, mBlock 5 allows users to freely create games and animations, and to program Makeblock robots and micro: bit. Moreover, the software features cutting-edge technologies like AI and IoT, making it the perfect helper for coding educators, makers and kids.
Based on Scratch, easy but powerful
Scratch -Getting started
Getting Started with Scratch
Scratch is a free visual programming language and online community where anyone can create their own stories, games, and animations. We are so excited to share the many pathways to participate in the Scratch global community!
Just Getting Started?
- The Scratch Ideas page is a great place to begin! This page offers a variety of tutorials, guides, coding cards, and projects for kids, families, and educators to start creating with Scratch.
- Did you know that Scratch is available in more than 70 languages?
- Getting Started with Scratch Info Sessions offer a facilitated opportunity to learn more about the Scratch editor, online community, and ways Scratch is used by young people and educators around the world.
- Explore the what, why, and how of creative learning with a community of educators, designers, parents, and learners in Learning Creative Learning, an online course organized by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group — the group who created Scratch — at the MIT Media Lab. The weekly workshops will introduce the creative learning ethos found on the Scratch platform and share ideas for using Scratch through a creative learning approach.
Interested in Scratch in Schools?
- The Getting Started with Scratch Guide covers the basics: from dragging out your first blocks of code to creating your own sprites. It also includes links to our tutorials, coding cards, and other tips to get you and your learners creating in Scratch.
- Set up a Scratch Teacher Account. The Scratch Teacher Account guide includes support for account set up, class creation, password tips, and making teacher studios where students can share their Scratch projects with you and their peers.
- Virtual Family Creative Coding Nights bring young people, families, educators, and administrators together online to create and explore using Scratch. The Scratch team collaborated with the Office of Computer Science at Chicago Public Schools to develop and share this guide as a remixable resource for running your own version of the event.
- The Scratch Educator page offers many more resources to support creative coding from beginner to more advanced learners.
Coding in the Classroom
Edutopia
One need not look to superstars such as Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates to justify reasons for using code and programming logic in the classroom. There’s plenty of literature that illustrates its positive learning outcomes. Coding in the classroom is linked to improved problem solving and analytical reasoning, and students who develop a mastery of coding have a “natural ability and drive to construct, hypothesize, explore, experiment, evaluate, and draw conclusions.”
But there are other compelling reasons for integrating code in the classroom.
1. Coding is a new type of literacy.
Wired Magazine reported that reading and writing code is the new literacy. Those students who master it are better prepared for a technical revolution that spans cultures and language boundaries. That’s because coding isn’t just a language. It’s a way of thinking about problem solving.
2. Coding is a tool to improve educational equity.
Coding in the classroom is a means of bridging the digital divide. That means more than granting technological access — it’s a way for all students to use technology for creative engagement. Without coding in the classroom, many students in lower socioeconomic communities will miss the opportunities it affords.
mBlock Educators’ Assessment
Professional Educators’ Assessment of mBlock
Based on Scratch 3.0, mBlock is a programming software tool designed mainly for STEAM education. mBlock helps kids easily learn how to program without using new kids programming language. With this software, children can write programs and interact with different hardware. Besides, they can also get familiar with AI, the most fundamental new technology for the 21st century.
Main features of mBlock
- Block-based programming software based on Scratch 3.0
mBlock is a block-based programming software based on Scratch 3.0, which is one of the most popular programming software systems for children. Even if children can’t speak English or use a keyboard, they can still do the programming by dragging blocks to a certain area.
- Connecting with popular hardware
