ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Open Topics – 28 Oct 2017

Open topics class today 😉

Ioan was still excited creating games with GameMaker 🙂

He got lots of sprites and objects

and he added background to the game

And Capt. Azriel taught Ioan lots of techniques in GameMaker

Ioan learned some new tricks and the game he was creating was a great one 🙂

Ain installed Spigot Server and Minecraft

and started to learn JavaScript commands in Minecraft 🙂

Ain is also good at RedStone 🙂

Jundy came with a lot of surprises

He created a Minecraft world with Blender!

He created every block from scratch. Unbelievable.

Then Jundy created some awesome mechanism with RedStone in (the real) Minecraft 🙂

This works like a shift register

And we’re thinking on how to implement this machine into something useful. Great work, Jundy 😉

We got newcomers 🙂 Hello Jackson 🙂

Jackson has a very strong skill in programming basics already 🙂

He finished CodeCombat very easily

And also the LightBot. Next week Jackson wants to learn Minecraft Modding 🙂

The other newcomer is Jesse, Jackson’s friend 🙂

Jesse was working on CodeCombat but because he had to leave earlier, he hadn’t finished it and didn’t continue to LightBot 🙂

Jesse wants to learn Minecraft Modding too, next week 🙂

Altair continued his Racing Car Game

Ain showed Al how to create random spawning objects 🙂

Ain is a great teacher 😉

Yay, Altair finished his Racing Car Game, with exploding animation and scores 🙂

Tyo wanted to created games with jMonkeyEngine

Tyo did some research and downloaded the library. He will see if it’s not to difficult and if it is, we’re going to find other projects 🙂

Azriel making lots of progress today

and learned lots of debugging 🙂 Programming is a great way to teach discipline and consistency to kids 😉

Faris is still doing image recognition research

He tried and learned lots of libraries

Train the system

And these are the results

 

Using our own dataset! Amazing work Faris. A huge progress!

Can’t wait to see the kids again next week! 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming

Our Arduino/ESPectro Programming class today 🙂

One of our extension cable didn’t work so Capt. Awa opened and checked it with voltmeter 🙂

He found the source of problem and fixed it 🙂

Took extra patience and some amount of perseverance to do this kind of job 😀

It took lots of positions too 😀

And finally after several testing, Capt. Awa officially announced that the extension cable was working properly and ready to be used. Thanks so much Capt.!

After got his technical support job done, Capt. Awa got back to his sonar project 🙂 He was experimenting with Parallax
//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

and its standard servo 🙂

the ultrasonic was mounted on top of the servo

Capt. Awa teamed up with Clarence because Clarence will develop the code to display the reading from Awa’s sonar system to a TFT display

A really great teamwork 🙂

Clarence also has his own project, sorting algorithm visualization

He added more features including serial monitor commands to run the sorting using any chosen algorithm

//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

Then he started working on ultrasonic

and the reading worked just fine

Next is to add micro servo  🙂

Ozan was still struggling with adding buzzer to ultrasonic counter

The ultrasonic counter worked fine until he added a buzzer 😀

We’ve done lots of debugging and try-and-retry attempts but it still didnt’ work 🙂 Have to try again next week 🙂

//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

After the class: kids just wouldn’t stop 😀

Friendship scenes after the class 🙂

Capt. Fizhan (corner) was given a project to design a logo for Bu Rieny (Coding Mom Batch-3) with Wibi (middle) and Ozan (right) accompanying 🙂

Will be reporting more excitement next week 😉

ProCodeCG – Darul Hikam – Intro to Programming to 2nd Graders – 27 Oct 2017

Today ProCodeCG and Darul Hikam Elementary School held a Creating Games Workshop for 2nd Graders 🙂

Preparation 🙂 Kids brought their own laptop

and teachers helped them connect to the internet

We had 25 kids 🙂

Took a while before they’re ready to start, but all looked so excited 🙂

Captain on duty: Capt. Awa

Captains preparation 🙂

The class

Capt. Awa was so busy assisting his friends 😉

Great job, Capt.! 😉

Can you tell which one is the captain? They all look the same 😀

Time flies, kids were so excited they just wouldn’t stop 😀

This little one used the displaying computer because hers was protected by password and her parents weren’t there to type it in 😀

Well, all the hard work paid off 🙂 After they finished all the levels, they got certificates  🙂

Look at those proud faces 😉

One of the kids that wouldn’t leave the class 😀 *the dad had to explain that the kid can join the regular class if he likes 😀

 

Next week it will be for 3rd graders 😉

See you then 🙂

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Open Topics – 21 Oct 2017

Our open topics kids coding class 🙂

Altair had just attended one session of GameMaker and this is the progress when he came back to the next class 🙂

He added more features to the game

plus lots of sprites, objects and background and rooms 🙂

He added levels with different challenges on every levels 😉

And he started to create the next game: Racing Car 🙂

Capt. Azriel helped Al to resize the background

Altair’s little brother joined in 😀

He wanted to play and typing something on the laptop and Altair was very busy keeping him away from the laptop 😀

Ain had created lots of apps with Thunkable but his laptop has problems with connecting to internet so while he waited he opened GameMaker and improved his game 🙂

We used different laptop to log in to Ain’s Thunkable account and these are some of what Ain’s had created: guessing odd or even number app

Bouncing Ball App

And Doodling App 😉

Capt. Faris was still busy with his research: was given a new task with TensorFlow 😉

Clarence was back! This time he wanted to install C++ compiler and started coding in C++

Faris helped

Clarence apparently had so many things in his head to be coded in C++ 🙂

And we had a newcomer: Brillian 🙂

Brillian had to go through Intro to Programming

First, he had to finished Minecraft Hour of Code

and got the certificate

and then he learned about functions with LightBot

And more logics with some Python using CodeCombat 🙂 In the next class Brillian will learn more with Blockly Games or go straight to game making 🙂

Nanin! Forgot to save her work :(( So she had to started all over againnnn NOOOOO

Nanin had to browse through the download folder to find all the pictures of the animals

and recreated everything

And then Nanin and Mom discussed the project to be presented to the next exhibition

She looked so excited 🙂 We’ll see what app Nanin will create next week 🙂

Vian is getting better each week 🙂

He created more advanced games and keep adding more features

The game looked really fun 🙂

And Vian got the best tutor: Ain (wearing black hat)

And the best way to test a game is by playing it, together 🙂

Azriel made lots of progress too 🙂

He started to code in JavaScript to build things in Minecraft

Starting with simple shapes and structures like triangle and stairs

the result

Very nice progress, Azriel! So proud of you! 😉

And at the end of the class we learned Sewing 101 by Mama Ain 😉

*Ignore the face 😀

The point is: we have lots of topics in the class and we’re always having fun! See you next week! 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro – 21 Oct 2017

Our dose of coding every Saturday 🙂

Cinta spent 2 sessions continuing her Arduino schematic design and simulation using Proteus 🙂

She tried several designs and with different components

//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

Proteus provides library of components so it is very helpful 😉

Nafis was back after a while, and he was working on adding buzzer and LED to ultrasonic counter

Nafis refused to connect and test the components one by one; instead he put all components and compile to see what happened 😀 Still not working and he has to debug it on the next class 😀

Nafis little sister, Nayla liked to play with the components (she refuse to be photographed :D)

Awa came with a new toys: Arduino Parallax 😀

//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

Awa was given a task to create a radar with ultrasonic and microservo and he started with this one 🙂

Awa is fully supported by mom and sister 🙂

And Clarence joined in 😀

These two have their own connections

making a great team 😀

Clarence started to tinker with Parallax code 🙂 He was previously given a task to process data from sonar reading and display it to a TFT screen

Reza was doing the same thing as Nafis but he did it differently: he puts one component at a time and tests it one by one

Reza is one very focus and determined kid 🙂

He kept trying

And the time’s up when he was almost finished. The buzzer won’t stop beeping 😀 Next time he has to modify the code so the buzzer will only beep when the counter reaches some certain number 🙂

Capt. Awa on duty 😀 Blurred pics because he moved so fast! 😀

Thanks so much Capt. Awa :* ❤

See you next week 🙂

 

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Open Topics – 14 Oct 2017

Our open topic class this Saturday 🙂

Our newcomer, Ioan 🙂 Ioan joined our mid-year coding camp and now joining regular class 🙂 Welcome Ioan 🙂

Capt. Azriel was assigned to assist Ioan

Ioan reopened his last GameMaker projects and re-learned how to create games 🙂

He had learnt to create Agario too 🙂

He looked happy to be back 🙂

Ioan added new sprites and adding more features to his games

 

Welcome back Nanin (after a few weeks) 🙂

Nanin was determined to finish her game from the last class

The game is to pick out which one is a pet animal

Nanin spent lots of time to choose pictures and edit them

The game is quite interesting: you will get score and move to the next level when you choose the right picture, and will go back to previous level if you pick the wrong one 🙂

That’s why Nanin had lots of objects and rooms for levels 🙂 Lots of work 🙂

Adin (left) started to learn GameMaker, and Captain on duty for GameMaker was Captain Azriel (right)

starting with creating sprites

then Adin created his first game 🙂

he added more rooms with different levels of difficulty

Then Adin was given the next task to create another game: Race Car 🙂

Ain (left) had finished all the homework of creating apps with Thunkable

So he was given another challenge

He created an app to convert from text to voice, and he had to add a button to clear the textfield and he did 🙂

Ain and Capt. Faris then added more languages

The code:

It worked nicely 🙂

Vian (right), Ain (middle) and Capt. Faris (left) made a great team 🙂 They working together on Ain’s app and Vian’s game 🙂

Vian created a new game, fully improved with lots of new techniques, thanks to Ain 🙂

See how Vian’s game had been improved to a totally higher level when he got support from game making experts 🙂

Capt. Faris tested Ain’s game

And then they applied it to Vian’s

Vian got lots of ideas and feedback from Ain and Capt. Faris yaaay, what could be more fun than creating games as a team 😉

The final look of Vian’s game 🙂

Tyo was ready for a new project: modifying a chat app in Java 🙂

First we made sure the server and client work

And the we decided to add some encryption to the text, and will be decrypted when it is accepted

The encryption worked

The code

then we added decryption

got some errors after adding decryption, but later Capt. Faris solved it

This little one was back 🙂 Hello Adit 🙂

Adit continued his Intro to Programming lessons from Blockly Games

He was doing well with Puzzle and Maze

And then moved on to Bird

Had reached level 6 and will continue it next week 🙂

Sabrina continued her lesson in Web Programming

She learned more complicated design with more difficult layout

She had to go through lots of lines and debugging became a lot harder 🙂

Jundy had several projects in Java running

This one is a program to guess someone’s birthday using some algorithm

Jundy likes to discuss his work with Faris 🙂

He showed us how to modify some files encrypted from XBox 🙂

While on the other side of the room, Ain’s mom did an awesome activity 🙂

Very neat! 🙂

This tool has never seen in the class before 🙂

Another different activity in the class: captain discussions about writing 😀

Will be reporting more interesting things happening in our class next week! 😉

 

 

 

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming – 14 Oct 2017

Hello hello! We are reporting our Saturday regular kids coding class 🙂

Cinta spent two sessions working on PCB design and simulation using Proteus 🙂

She was very excited 🙂

Cinta started with resistors, buttons and LED’s

Proteus can be connected to Arduino IDE

Then Cinta added more and more components to her design 🙂

An awesome way to simulate 🙂 Next lesson Cinta will be given task to simulate a Tic Tac Toe on Arduino 😉

Helloooo Ruben was back 🙂

This was where we left: creating and ultrasonic counter 🙂

Capt. Faris helped Ruben with the code

//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

And after several debugging, installing, and testing, it worked 🙂

And then Ruben was given this: adding buzzer and lamp to the previous one 🙂 So that when the counter reaches certain number, the buzzer will be active and so will the LED 🙂

Ruben likes to assemble things 🙂

The LED worked but not yet the buzzer 🙂

Will work on it next week 😉

Koosha had a new project 🙂

First he collected the components and the tools

Including this light to give better light

Koosha prepared lots of breadboards, buttons and RGB LEDs

He wouldn’t tell what he was doing 😀

We had to make lots of guess

Until…

Koosha was working on a Tic Tac Toe on Arduino 🙂

Excellent idea! 🙂

He still has to add more resistors and wires and also the coding, and we will continue working on it next week 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Open Topics – 7 Oct 2017

Our open topics class this week 🙂

Capt. Faris, like usual was very busy with the research 🙂

Faris started to train his AI to recognize some logo

Ain was working on creating apps

Ain created an login app

There was still some errors, Ain will fix it at home 🙂

Adin was unstoppable 🙂 He finished all levels for Intro to Programming 😀

Next week he certainly can move to the next level 😉

Capt. Faris was helping Azriel to start Spigot Server

So Azriel can code things like this in Minecraft 😉

The first floor of Azriel’s skyscraper

Yes! Azriel first skycraper in Minecraft, created with JavaScript 😉

Too bad we didn’t take a picture of Tyo, who was celebrating his birthday and working on a very cool project: reading weather data to be processed with Java. But we had problems with accessing the APIs and libraries so Tyo decided to create chatting apps in Java next week! 🙂

 

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming – 7 Oct 2017

Our regular Saturday 🙂

Everybody has (very serious) things to do 🙂

Reza was ready to explore microservo with buttons 🙂

 

Reza was assigned to code the Arduino to control microservo with 2 buttons

And after lots of effort and debugging

… he finished the assignment. One button will turn the micro servo clockwise and the other one will turn the micro servo counter-clockwise 😉

Koosha was still working on the elevator project 🙂

He had lots of ideas to be implemented

We will use this SD-card module to store sounds for the elevator. We were going to do the read and write test but just realized that Koosha didn’t bring the memory card 😀

So we tested the LCD 🙂

Yeah, looking good 🙂

This is going to be an awesome elevator 😉

We will do more projects next week 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Kids – Open Topics – 30 Sep 2017

Today we have kids learn creating games, java programming, web programming and we do some research too 🙂

Nanin is back to continue her matching games in GameMaker

Nanin is creating a game to choose which ones are pets and which ones are wild animals

So she had to collect animal pictures

And resize it to fit in the size of the sprite 🙂 (Capt. Faris showed Nanin how to resize a picture)

Tyo rode a bicycle to the class 🙂

Tyo had finished his temperature conversion project 🙂

The code can convert temperature in Celcius, Reamur, Kelvin and Fahrenheit 🙂

Impressive, Tyo 🙂

Tyo moved on to the next project: collecting weather data and save it to a file to be presented in an app in Java 🙂

Sabrina finished HTML session last week and this week she learned CSS

Next week she will start to learn some JavaScript or more advanced HTML and CSS 😉

She also learned how to create .html that connects to a .css file 🙂 Now she knows how to create a website 🙂

 

After two sessions of Intro to Programming, now Altair is ready to learn to create games with GameMaker 🙂

Altair has learned how to create sprites, objects, rooms and display scores

This little yellow guy will get score each time he eats the red apples

Altair proudly shows his first game to his dad 😉

Great work, Al 😉

Vian (yellow shirt) discussed with Jundy

and create another awesome creature for the sprite

And Capt. Faris, as usual, is working on a research while also helping other kids 🙂

Will be back with more progress and updates next week 🙂
