It is a bit hard but most of the methods are just the same with the previous games we have created πŸ™‚

Lots of adults take a look at the screen when we do this and ask: “How could it be possible kids learning this?” πŸ˜€
IMG_5028

Yes it is possible! This is Ara typing the code and later make sure the code is error free

This is Zaky, the youngest one in the class πŸ™‚ He was very serious and always want to get things done. He just won’t stop until he finished. And he complained a lot about other kids playing the games instead of typing the code πŸ˜‰

The kids sometimes play some games in between lines of code because they have to wait other kids to finish typing so when they have finished their part, they usually play games or watch YouTube. It is allowed as long as they finish their work.

But today’s code was very long, there was no time to play πŸ˜€
IMG_5035

Each kid has to make sure they got everything right on every classes and methods

IMG_5037

So Capt. Zaki was very busy navigating the screen πŸ˜€

We split the screen to accommodate more kids πŸ™‚

Capt. Faris and Capt. Malik debugging Ronggur’s code

The good thing about coding is that it indirectly teaches kids about consistency and little details. That you have to do things properly and in order. That a single character can cause errors πŸ˜€

A view like this make us proud that we have young brains ready to defend the country πŸ™‚

Capt. Malik checked on every kid making sure they understand
IMG_5054

Zaky is a very enthusiast programmer. He was Β closely under Capt. Malik’s assistance. Capt. Malik said that the code wasn’t difficult πŸ˜€ If an 8 yo like Zaky can comprehend it so should the rest of the class, he said πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ Two young brightest minds! πŸ™‚
