ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 30 July 2016 – Exhibition Prep Part 2

Whoaaa, we got lots of things going on today in our kids regular coding class 😀 We had lots of kids, lots of activities and lots of surprises 😀 We got newcomers too 😉

This is Areli, a newcomer, a very serious thinker 🙂

Capt. Faris and Capt. Reza working in team with Farrell to improve Farrell’s solar system code 🙂

While Azriel was preparing to present his work today 🙂

And we got our Lead Captain back! Zaki has been so busy lately after being accepted at SMUN 3 Bandung 🙂

Clarence and Pru, working on their Minecraft project. While at the back, there were Rayna (a cousin from Netherland) and Al (Aliya) busy with their stuff too 🙂

We also got Jundy and Rasen as newcomers! 😉

At the back row there were Capt. Zaki assisting Vian while Edo and Tyo working on their collaboration project and we also got Ozan (blue shirt) back!!!

Capt. Faris checked up on Areli while Capt. Zaki took a look on Farrell and Reza’s 🙂

These newcomers were fast! 🙂

Al was picking up where she left on CyberSecurity 🙂

While Rayna is working on Minecraft Hour of Code 🙂

Azriel preparing the presentation

He created a code to translate numbers to tone 🙂

His code can play music by reading a file of numbers (that represent notes)

The audience (who can give questions too 😉 )

Well, Azriel did it very well, both the presentation and answering the questions 🙂

The captains worked together to make things work (Capt. Anya helped with projector connection, Capt. Fizhan prepared the soundsystem and Capt. Zaki operated the screen) 🙂

While the others keep working on their own (and getting ready to do presentation next week 😉 )

Now it’s Farrell’s turn (apparently he forgot something by that gesture? LOL)

Capt. Reza assisted Areli to register to CodeCombat

Farrell’s code is about solar system

The code prints the trail of each planet, using real metrics and constants from NASA

Farrell can explain very well

And did answer the questions very well, while also showing the details 😉

We also had a debate about the world is flat topic and too bad we cannot upload the video here 😀 It’s amazing how kids using their simple logic to explain twisted theory grown ups make up! 😛

And at the end of the class we clean up the room, and the cousin helped us too! Thanks Rayna, hope you enjoy the class and bring some cool memories to Netherland!

 

ProCodeCG codeMeetUp() #74 – CyberLabs – 13 Tips to Create Your Own StartUp Company

Today before we started our 74th codeMeetUp(), we coached one of ProCodeCG Kids about a project 🙂

His Mom came as the audience of codeMeetUp() and next week she will be in our Coding Mum Class 🙂

Our guest today is the Founder and CEO of CyberLabs: Ahmad Syarif Hidayatullah 🙂

He shared all the secrets that make CyberLabs a successful startup company

It was all started in 2014 with 4 people working in one room

And the added more crews (total 8) in 2015 and moved to a real office

Then it grew exponentially to 22 crews! 🙂

CyberLabs doesn’t have investors. It is surviving by doing bootstrapping.

What exactly CyberLabs do to survive and how?

First, sensing by doing survey

Then harvesting the result

Then build a prototype

To go through validation process. If the product does not pass this phase, you should do all over again (or at least from prototyping phase)

After the product has gone through validation process, then you can scale up

The core products of CyberLabs are Atom

Hydro

and Molecule

If you’re going to create your own startup up company you should pick one of these options

And learn from these successful startup companies

The startup should be able to multiply itself, has the opportunity to become big, borderless

Has competitive advantage like Garuda Indonesia vs AirAsia and iPhone vs Samsung

Garuda Indonesia and iPhone offer premium service (differentiation), AirAsia and Samsung offer low cost (cost leadership)

The startup should ready to pivot while keep growing. Has advisory board and share holder. And also has SOP.

Investors prefer a non solo startups. A start up should customer centric, has partnerships with big companies and has disruptive technology.

And the growth should be like folding paper to the moon: exponentially! 🙂

The summary:

It was a great topic! We don’t cover everything in here but we will post the video on ProCodeCG YouTube Channel 🙂

See you next week 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 23 July 2016 – Exhibition Prep Part 1

Hello! Today we did some prep for the upcoming ProCodeCG Kids Exhibition 😉 We also did lots of other things today 🙂

Azriel was preparing to present his code for the exhibition

While Capt. Cinta giving jumpstart to Awa and Darrell 🙂

Edo helped Tyo to create Android apps with Thunkable

We had a newcomer: Zahran 😉 His little brother looked interested in what his big bro was doing, like any other ProCodeCG Kids Little Bros 😀

Awa was catching up with the Cyber Security topic he missed last week

We also had Vian back (after quite a long time), he was under Capt. Faris assistance 🙂

And later Azriel said there was something wrong going on with his code and he cancelled the presentation LOL

Clarence and Prudence are the most quiet students in class. They were also keeping up with the Cyber Security thing and the finished it 🙂

Yaaay, our Capt. Reza was back! He came and before had a chance to unpack his back and set up his laptop, he already served the duty of helping other kid 😉 ❤

Faris, while helping Vian, was doing an investigation about the source code of Pokemon Go 😀 He downloaded the .apk and decompile it. And dissected it 😀

We didn’t need the projector today because so many things were going on 😀

Capt. Cinta started a new project we named: InstaKilo 😀 This is a simple apps supposed to look like Instagram where we have photos and people can like and leave comments 🙂

We’re developing it with Thunkable 🙂

Awa looked so serious! 😀

So did Darrell 🙂

So did Zahran 😀

Awa got the best tutor 🙂 Look how happy he was 😀

Yayyy Rezandra came too with a finished game in GameMaker for exhibition! All we need is adding scores and more features 🙂

The game looked like this 🙂

Muhammad came too! (with his little brother, so typical in ProCodeCG Kids Coding Class to see pairs of sibling like this 😀 )

Azriel was very busy fixing his code while Reza was busy catching up

We’re all busy!

We’re busy and we discuss with each other to solve things

This is Azriel’s code. Apparently there was some error related to the datatype (the method expect integer while the input parameter was float)

Awa was working so hard he said  he need to faint for a while 😀 😀 😀

Malik came with his code in (pure) Java. A chatting apps.

We just need to fix a few error. The code is written in Java. No visual programming, no drag and drop 😀

Tyo and Edo were working on their code for exhibition

Muhammad was doing some password cracking example

Awa went to the other side of the class to check what other kids were doing 🙂

Any progress, Azriel?

Prudence had finished her Cyber Security task and she moved on to the next challenge

Reza did come late but he successfully caught up!

One of the most entertaining things in this place is that we always find a pet 😀

The cat just quietly napping on the table 😀

And we will name it Thunkable 😀

ProCodeCG codeMeetUp() #73 – RadyaLabs – MVP

Today, Co-Founder and Technology Director of RadyaLabs, Puja Pramudya, spent some time to be a guest speaker on our 73rd codeMeetUp() at BCCF Bandung 🙂

The topic is about MVP to Validate Your Business Idea

We have various audience, including one mum from Coding Mum 🙂

Every startup has their own passion, like Google

or Facebook

So does RadyaLabs 🙂

Its passion is about mobile apps

And like all startups, it has its own dream too

Radya Labs has developed many mobile apps

One of its best product is Appsterize

The journey

from ideation to kick-off

from beta launch to v.10

The development process took a long time due to these

So RadyaLabs started to change their focus

And listened more to the customer, resulting recurring clients and more transactions

MVP is important

Viable for what?

The analogy

The example

The cycle

Every product has its own MVP version to be defined

Some techniques to build MVP version of our products

Some examples

Groupon MVP Version

Another example

Gojek MVP Version

so the key is build with (free and available) software you know and do the manual work 🙂

While also doing survey/interview and analysis

Because numbers don’t lie

Another example is Hailo

Every startup should set up metrics

And correlate the metrics with the target

This is how Appsterize analyze the metrics and the targets

The upcoming product of RadyaLabs 😉

Well, everybody has a plan until.. (you get hit hard by Mike Tyson or a truck LOL). The point is, be prepared to whatever comes 🙂

The references 🙂

Us!!! 🙂

And the best thing about codeMeetUp(): people meet each other and make connections, bonding and collaborate to make better things!

We’re going to do this again next week! Be there! 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 16 July 2016 – CyberSecurity

We’re back after the long holiday 😉 Lots of kids were still on vacation so the class wasn’t fully packed today 🙂

Ok we learned a new thing today: CyberSecurity 😉

This good site teach us about CyberSecurity by pretending that we were a CTO of a start-up social network company 😉

First we chose the avatar

then the company

and then the server was being attacked by virus so we have to decide what defense to be applied to the server with only 3 coins 😀

To gain more coins, we have to do three challenges: Coding Challenge, Password Cracking Challenge and Social Engineering Challenge

The coding challenge was quite easy, most of ProCodeCG Kids have done this with Blockly or Thunkable

Then we had to create some secure password and crack some passwords 🙂 This taught us how to create secure passwords and the logic of people who do cracking

We also learned about social engineering fraud. Like phishing email.

We learned to identify suspicious things about phishing emails

And after we finish the challenge the company will grow!

This is another example of identifying suspicious website

A really good way to inform the kids about fake websites! 😉

We also learned how to differ fake caller by identifying red flags in the conversation.

We listened to the recording and identify weird sentences

So kids will aware about phishing attempt 🙂

After finishing all challenge, we will get more coins and be able to protect our company fully 🙂

The next level of social engineering challenge

We learned that we should be really careful about credit cards information

As the company grows, there will be mor challenges and attack. But with more coins, we deploy firewall, buy more servers and filter traffic. This way kids will learn about things they should pay attention about cyber security of a company.

Yaaay, fully protected 🙂

We finished all the tasks today so we have time to discuss about our project to be presented on upcoming ProCodeCG Kids Exhibition 17 Aug 2016 🙂

c

Capt. Cinta had also some time to continue her Python challenge on CodeSaya.com 🙂

We’ll be back again next week! 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Creating Apps – Day #3

Creating Apps, the last day!

Today we did some improvements to our previous guessing number game. Now we add a label text giving a clue whether the guess is too small or too big.

99 is to big

while 30 is too small

and 60 is the correct answer! 🙂 the number is generated randomly each time.

We created new blocks and deactivated the old one (a very cool visual of commenting out the code ;))

Then we add a number of try to the code

Now we can see how many tries it takes to guess the correct number

The next is creating an app to determine whether a number is even or odd

We also tried how to connect to Google Maps

Thunkable gives access to latitude and longitude from Google Maps

The last one is creating an app to determine how old are you by entering your birthday date

We did lots of trial and modifications

We use DatePicker to get the birthday date input

The app still need to be improved, too bad we were running out of time!

This is the class in the morning, before more kids showing up

Kids are very happy to play the apps on their own smartphones

Everyone has different version of code. This is Capt. CG’s

And this is Capt. Zaki’s. Looks totally different 😀

Break time

Kids are kids. They played hide and seek during break time 😀

And after that, we still struggling to make the code work 😀

Because today’s topic is advanced apps in Thunkable, most of the kids got headache LOL

The block of code was too long

And lots of logics to be figured out

We didn’t have time to finalize the code and had to pack up

And say goodbye to the last day of ProCodeCG Coding Camp!

But don’t worry we’ll be back in six month! 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Creating Apps – Day #2

Creating Apps, Day #2 😉

We created a game today! 😉 A simple game we used to code with GML (GameMaker Language). This Pong Game is a very good example to introduce canvas, objects, image, sounds, arrangement and control 🙂

Some of the code

The whole code

Next we created a simple calculator

The code

The calculator on the simulator

And we also created a guess game

the code is still very simple, we will improve it tomorrow 🙂

This is when the guess is wrong

And this is when the guess is correct 🙂

For each app we just generate the QR Code and everybody can play 🙂

The GodFather Captain gave us a visit again 🙂

Capt. Zaki, as usual, preparing today’s lesson

GodFather Captain busy with the Gizwits 😀

Oh wow, this kid really got a style 😀

And this one always hide behind something 😀

LOL! 😀

Capt. Cinta assisting Mail

Friday’s Prayer break

We created some games apps and play 😀

or listening to music

Or just checking up handphone

After the break, Capt. Zaki explained about the calculator

With Capt. Cinta navigating the screen

Yep, it works 😉

In two days, kids gots lots of new apps on their smartphones

Capt. Zaki and Capt. Cinta, always love to see kids in teamwork 😉 ❤

Zahra and Icha

Ara

Edo and Thoriq

Ozan (and Capt. Fizhan)

Farrell and Mail

Rheino

Fayza

Fadhlan
