AlgoScratch - Simplifying Data Structures and Algorithms Education using Block-based Programming
We have implemented a novel framework called AlgoScratch as an extension to the popular Scratch programming language. AlgoScratch is designed to simplify Data Structures and Algorithms education in the K-12 curriculum through visual and intuitive Scratch blocks. The framework implements widely used data structures such as Arrays, Stacks, Queues, Sets, and Maps; and algorithms such as Binary Search and Quick Sort. This poster discusses the implementation of the AlgoScratch blocks and their ability to simplify complex computer science concepts through visual programming that employs a simple drag and drop-based interface.
