📚 What is Storyboarding?
Storyboarding is like creating a comic strip of your story before you make it into a movie or animation. It helps you plan out the scenes, characters, and what happens in each part of the story. Think of it as a visual roadmap for your project!
- ✏️ It involves drawing pictures to show what will happen in each scene.
- 💬 You can add notes or speech bubbles to explain what the characters are saying or doing.
- 🎬 Storyboarding helps to organize the order of events and plan camera angles if you were making a video.
💻 What is Programming?
Programming is like giving instructions to a computer to make it do something. You write these instructions in a special language that the computer understands. It's how we create apps, games, and websites!
- ⌨️ It involves writing code using languages like Scratch or Python.
- 💡 You tell the computer exactly what to do step-by-step.
- 🎮 Programming helps create interactive experiences, like games where you can control characters.
