CODING is a creative activity that a student from any discipline can engage in. It is also one of the highest paid skills today. It helps to build computational thinking, develop problem solving skills, critical thinking and exposure to real life situations to solve issues in various realms. Problems in both professional and personal lives can be dealt with using the knowledge of coding. With such aims in mind, Coding is being introduced as a Skill Module of 12 hours duration in classes 6-8. In an effort to multiply CBSE’s vision to empower students from class 6 itself, we are releasing our series “Fun with Coding”, for classes 6 to 8. The book contains 5 chapters each for the sake of aiding students of this age group in their programming skills development. The books have the following features: • Did You Know: This part gives some additional information for quenching the curiosity of the students. • Hot Hints: This part gives an important point that is related to the topic and the student should know. • Check Your Knowledge: A set of two or three questions to check how much you learned till there. • Exercises: These are questions that will help students assess their own knowledge of the chapter. This part contains MCQs, Answer the following questions, Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and Applied Projects. This is our effort to augment the developing talent pool in the country with the knowledge it needs in the later years. We hope that our books will be accepted and benefited from by the student community. Any errors or inadequacies brought to our notice will be gladly acknowledged. — Goyal Brothers Prakashan

Activities at the end of each chapter help test their new knowledge by combining multiple concepts. For young programmers who really want to show off their creativity, there are extra tricky challenges to tackle after each chapter. All kids need to get started is a computer and this book. This beginner's guide to Python for kids includes: 50 Innovative exercises—Coding concepts come to life with game-based exercises for creating code blocks, drawing pictures using a prewritten module, and more. Easy-to-follow guidance—New coders will be supported by thorough instructions, sample code, and explanations of new programming terms. Engaging visual lessons—Colorful illustrations and screenshots for reference help capture kids' interest and keep lessons clear and simple. Encourage kids to think independently and have fun learning an amazing new skill with this coding book for kids.

CODING is the most important skill in a computer engineer. It is a creative activity that a student from any discipline can engage in. It helps to build computational thinking, develop problem solving skills, critical thinking and exposure to real life situations to solve issues in various realms. With an eye on such an aim, Coding is being introduced as a Skill Module of 12 hours duration in classes 6 - 8. Technologies like AI, Data Science and Design, require specialized coding skills that the students need to be aware of. In fact, many colleges recently have offered technical degrees for profi ciency in AI. To summarise, coding is a skill that needs to be carried alongwith every other kind of knowledge related to computer s cience. So that the student is comfortable diving right into this development of skill, the series Fun with Coding, classes 1—5 has been conceived. We have tried to cater to the industrial needs required from a student. Programming concepts have been put forth in a graded manner in these books. Concepts like Computer, Keyboard, Paint, Networking, Solving puzzles, Counting squares, have been taught to bring knowledge to the students in a normal way. In higher classes, algorithm, loops, specialized algorithms and Sudoku solution have been discussed. Every chapter of these books contain the following: • Do Yourself: This is a project given to students in a grade appropriate way. The student will get a chance to implement his/her gained knowledge to solve an interesting problem. • Let us Practice: After the discussion of concepts, the exercises part of the chapter has been given. These questions include MCQs, Match the following columns and other miscellaneous questions holding relevance to the concepts in the chapter. • Activity Time: After every three chapters, from classes 1—5, an activity set of questions have been given, which drives the students to objectively assess their own knowledge. We hope that the matter laid down in these books will gain acceptance and relevance with the times we are in. Any feedback on the books will be seen sincerely and gratefully. – Goyal Brothers Prakashan

Perfect for fans of The Babysitters Club and anyone interested in computer science, this series is published in partnership with the organization Girls Who Code! It's almost time for the talent show at school, and Erin couldn't be more excited. It's her time to take center stage! Plus, she and her friends from coding club are putting together an awesome coding program for the show. But Erin has a big secret: she has anxiety. And when things start piling up at home and school, she starts having trouble handling everything. Her friends from coding club have always been there for her, but will they be as understanding when the going gets tough? Sometimes in coding--like in friendship--things don't go exactly as planned, but the outcome can be even better than you'd imagined.
