ProCodeCG Kids Half-Day Camp Virus AntiVirus Day #3

Wow, the last day of Kids Half-Day Coding Camp Virus AntiVirus!

Today we create encypting virus and its antivirus 🙂

The last day felt a bit different, because we knew tomorrow we won’t be doing this anymore 😥

The pattern for each coding camp batch (3 days)  is always like this: day #1 everyone tends to be very quiet because they still don’t know each other. Day #2 they started to make friends and talk to each other, share things etc. Day #3 they would have spent enough time to be best buddies and that’s exactly when the camp ends 😀

This batch is very interesting because ALL the girls are: serious, almost never talk to each other, very quiet, work alone and not demanding.

And the boys are: SUPER loud, play computer games A LOT, eat A LOT, always working in groups and very demanding 😀

When the shalat time comes, the girls have to wait until the boys done performing theirs because the boys will take up lots of space at the musholla while being very intimidating and loud 😀

These two girls sneaked up after the boys done 😀 They got dumped from the musholla by the boys the day before so they decided to avoid the boys 😛

Yeay, there have been more than 100 kids joining our coding camp since 2014! 🙂

One of our favorite facility at Digilife is the screen that can connect to Apple TV through AirPlay. A Mac can display the screen wirelessly and so an iPhone! 😉

Look. At. The. Boys. LOL

It took forever to gather all of them to get their pic 😀

Oh well…

… still not ready…

half-ready

we had to keep taking pics because each time somebody’s face was behind others!

again..

AirPlay disconnected so we decided to took more pic, again 😀

Notice that the girls stand still while the boys… *no comment LOL*

it was impossible to get everyone’s face on the camera, OMG 😀

so we stopped taking pics before this gone crazier 😀

We took some pics with parents

and with the student too 😉

while the others play games on the other side

this one insisted to stay on his corner 😀

“It’s nice here, a comfortable place with high speed wifi and air conditioner. Beside, I haven’t been picked up yet.” He said. 😉

Bye-bye kids, see you very soon on the next coding camp! *sob sob*

This is some screenshots of what we code today! 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Half-Day Coding Camp Virus Antivirus Day #2

Virus Antivirus Coding Camp Day #2!

Day #2 is always when the kids start to know each other 🙂

The girls tend to be quiet and consistently pay attention while the boys started to gather and make noises 😛

Today we start creating the virus, and see how it worked 😀

This one always freaked out about running the virus because he had just heard that the captain got python-based game stopped working infected by the virus LOL

But we finally finished testing the virus and created the antivirus to recover all the infected files 😉

We also learned about some encryption and decryption, because tomorrow we will make encryption virus! 😀

This is how the virus and the antivirus look like 😉

We’ll be reporting again tomorrow! 😉

ProCodeCG codeMeetUp() #51 28 Dec 2015 – BitCoin

Today’s codeMeetUp() is about Bitcoin by Arif Setiawan, co-founder and CTO of LimaKilo 🙂

The codeMeetUp() was held right after ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp ended so some of the kids insists to attend because they are curious about bitcoins 😀

Look that we have ProCodeCG Kids on the attendance list, they put “ProCodeCG” as their company YEAAAY 😉

Please visit Limakilo for further info!

And, this is us!

We will upload the more complete version on our Youtube Channel!

ProCodeCG Kids Half-Coding Camp Virus Antivirus Day #1

Coding Camp Virus Antivirus Day #1! 😉

We amazingly got more girls in this batch! 😉

We got some kids from previous batches and some newcomers. Lucky that we have reliable captains especially the junior lead captain Zaki 😉

We got kids from elementary school, junior high school and high school

The younger ones like to play during the class which is allowed as long as they have finished the tasks being given 😛

Snacktime! (looks the same LOL)

The kids are very curious about coding and especially about virus 😀

On Day #1 we learn the basic of Python, and a little bit intro about virus.

As it always happens in ProCodeCG Kids classes, every kid is allowed to modify the code or explain the code in front of their friends. This is Cinta explaining how to create triangle numbers with nested loops 🙂

These guys on the back have learned some of Pyhon intro from the previous batch so they brought the problem to the higher level: building it with GUI 😉

We learned about creating files, writing to files, reading files, reading directories, listing files in directories etc. today.

Some kids got freaked up each time they run the code because they are afraid it will infect their computer and erase everything LOL 😀

We will learn about the virus code tomorrow. We’ve told the kids to back up tonight 😀

After the coding camp, some kids stayed to attend ProCodeCG codeMeetUp() about BitCoins 😀  Oh wow! 😀

And these are some of what we learned today 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Half-Day Coding Camp Cryptography #3

Hello! Today is the 3rd day of ProCodeCG Kids Half-Day Coding Camp Cryptography 😉

Setting up room and prepare for a class has been a great way to start the day 🙂

Why take a holiday if work is so much fun? 😉

Yeaaay kids started to show up and ready to pick up where we left yesterday 😉

They couldn’t wait to start the class and to see each other too!

Today we modify our previous code to have some awesome GUI 🙂

It took some time to work things out to get the code we want but we shared ideas and took turns to solve the problems.

Coding on the spot is better than preparing a ready code because it will ignite the kids to be involved and be creative.

When we got stuck, our reliable captain Zaki is always ready to google and find some solutions 😉

The kids will help each other to make their codes work

When the chief instructor got stuck, the lead captain got stuck too, there will be another kid find the solution 😀 This is Vai working on the main laptop to make the code work (we want the encryption to include some spaces 😀 )

When the kids got tired, they just took a quick break like this LOL

Or, teasing each other like this 😀

But when they are serious, they look like this. Eating while working 😀

Today we learned about Vigenere Cipher! This is Farrel reading the look up table to see how the cipher work!

And this is us with the certificates YEAAAYYYY

After the class. They wouldn’t stop playing together 😀

The most beautiful thing in camp like this is that the kids find new friends, make new bonding, create new things and be back home happier with loads of new experience!

They had packed up things but just couldn’t leave their friends 😀

While some of them still working on the computer (even that the main laptop had been shut down)

Look how happy they are!

See you on the next coding camp, kids! 🙂 😉 ❤

Here are some of what we did today 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Half-Day Coding Camp Cryptography #Day 2

Today we started to do encryption and decryption with substitution cipher!

Preparation before the class started

Digilife Dago is a very nice and comfortable place, we have great internet connection, accessible power sockets, air conditioner, super big screen, clean toilets and a very friendly and nice musholla.

Most of the kids continue their codes at home and show it to their friends in the morning 😉

Some kids came late due to the heavy traffic, but they quickly set things up to catch up with the class.

We only have one female student (plus one female captain) in this batch 🙂 Not many girls interested in coding, probably because it is some kind of intimidating? 😀

We started encryption and decryption with Caesar Cipher.

We encrypted some messages and then try to decrypted them.

We also learned how to do the brute force! This kid (Farrell) count each letter just to find out the key! LOL

Yeah, and of course, kids love to play during the class 😀

 

The best thing of gathering kids in a class is when they working together and share things

Give them challenges, and their bright brains will surprise you 🙂

We also learned about ROT13 🙂

And encrypted and decrypted LOTS of messages!

We also made a decryption competition 😀

Some people might say that programmers have no life. That’s not true! 😉 Look at how much we are having fun!

 

Lunchtime. LOL (with hood and all) LOL

After the lunch we learn some password breaking logics.

Also about One Time Pad encryption.

We learned some GUI in Python too, to make the code user-friendly!

Coding and cryptography might sound pretty darn serious but look at these kids! No frowns at all! 🙂

  

And these are the screenshots of a bit of what we’ve learned today!

Tomorrow we’ll do more encryption and decryption!!! With Vigenere Cipher 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Half-Day Coding Camp Cryptography Day #1

Hello! The Cryptography Kids Half-Day Coding Camp began today!

We came a bit earlier so we had to wait a bit until the building is ready 🙂

Kids getting along easily. Several of them didn’t know each other but they quickly share things and became good friends 😉

Before we entered cryptography, the pre-requisite is to be able to code in Python. So we did some installations before the class started.

Some of the kids already had Python installed (from the ProCodeCG Kids Camp before 😉 ) but they forgot how to load it and start to type in code, so we started from the very beginning to make sure everyone understand.

Yeah. We started type in code in Python (so happy to have this big screen! 😉 ❤ )

We started from a super simple code (2 lines) to more complex code (40-50 lines). And the kids didn’t mind typing it 🙂 Well, because coding is not just about drag and drop 😀

And after they typed it and compiled it and see how it worked, they start modifying it (like changing the variables into very huge numbers) and laughed about it LOL

The result 😀

And another 😛

We also explored about more advanced thing like finding prime numbers 😀 Because kids need to be challenged!

And they can do it! 😉

They are not just coding. They make bondings as human as well 😉 Look at these kids 🙂 ❤

Friday Prayer break 😉

And the program is still running on some computers 😀

After Friday Prayer, we got newcomers! Vai and Tio. They catched up quickly!

We continued coding while having lunch 🙂

One of them said that he made 1000000 loops so the program was still running when he got back from the mosque LOL

This kid, Hilmi, use 2 computers 😀

This one, Farrell, should apply job as code tester LOL He always eager to find ways to make the code stop working or the computer got hang 😀

The kids answered all the challenges so the difficulty escalated 😀 we created 5 loops in a code just to see how it worked.

This is some screenshots of a small part of what we did today!

Even after the class, the kids wouldn’t stop because they really wanted to solve the problems 😀

And this one also, ask his mom to give him 1 hour extra time 😀

Don’t worry kids we will do this again tomorrow insyaAllah! See you soon! ❤ ❤ ❤

ProCodeCG Half-Day Kids Coding Camp Games Development Day #3

Today’s is Minecraft day! We learned to do some modding on Minecraft using CanaryMod and Scriptcraft! 🙂

CanaryMod is a server which has ScriptCraft plug-ins that enable us to type code in Minecraft in JavaScript 😉

With ScriptCraft, we can create lots of things inside Minecraft by typing codes!

Most kids are familiar with Minecraft, but most of them have never done Minecraft Modding before 😉

This Games Development camp aiming to introduce games to kids, and teach them how to create games. Because to be able to design and create games, one should play games 😉

Oh! This is too fun! 😀

Learning (read: coding) is fun. It doesn’t necessarily mean something to frown upon 🙂

We did some turtle navigation we learned on the 1st day again in Minecraft. This time we did it in 3D 😉 Kids learned how to move around Minecraft and put blocks on the ground by giving command like move forward 3 steps – turn to the left – move forward 3 steps – put the block.

One of the kid celebrate his birthday by generously brought us lots of pizza! Happy bday Farrell! 🙂 ❤

One of the kid created a replica of her Mac inside Minecraft!

Look how cool is that! 😉

Well, even the greatest days have to end. After receiving the certificate, it took us some time to get kids to get up to get their pics 😀

One of them climbed over Capt. Zaki’s shoulder LOL

Ok, now ready?

And yeaaaah this is all of us at the end of ProCodeCG Half-Day Kids Coding Camp!

See you soon, kids! Hope that the last 3 days has brought you lots of new experience and loads you with happiness and useful skills!

 

ProCodeCG Half-Day Kids Coding Camp Games Developement Day #2

Day #2 !!! This is the scene of morning preparation 😉

Today we started to create games! With GameMaker 😉

Some of them finished the game very quick!

Some of them were busy creating the sprites and find cool names for them 😀

After all sprites done, we learned how to create objects for each of the sprites.

Ok. Snack time 😀

In this camp we cannot have a break because they will keep coding during the snacktime and lunch 😀

We have a great great screen so when we played the game demo, the whole class can see it and clap hands to cheer the player up LOL

Yeah, it was more fun than the Day #1 (they said 😀 )

We created PacMan-like game, racing car game, Flappybird-like game and breakout game 😉

We’re gonna play Minecraft and do some coding with JavaScript in Minecraft tomorrow! Can’t wait! 😉

ProCodeCG codeMeetUp() 21 Dec 2015 – Workshop on Video Editing in Blender

After the kids coding camp, as usual, Kampoong Monster Studio gave a workshop titled “Video Editing in Blender”, with Bintang Senja, the co-founder and CG Supervisor.

We recorded the workshop and will upload the video on our channel very soon! 😉
