ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Arduino/ESPectro Programming and Open Topics – 20 Jan 2018

Our Saturday coding class 🙂

Cinta started to explore Python libraries for games

Faris helped Cinta to install and test PyGame

The code

Cinta is aiming to create something like this 🙂

Awa was given another project 🙂

to connect Minecraft to Arduino

we tried several ways but nothing worked

Neither this one 😦 We’re going to figure it out next time

Ain was given a task to collaborate with Awa. Ain should create the structures in Minecraft while Awa connect it to the hardware in the real world

Too bad it didn’t work yet so Ain continued his projects in Minecraft by creating more complex structures using Red Stone

Vian was still so interested in Minecraft Command Block

A tool to create command blocks

And we also had Danen 🙂

continuing his next game, Racing Car 🙂

Under the supervision of Capt. Azriel (blue jacket)

The game is almost done 🙂 Danen will finish it next week 🙂

Nafis was really busy doing a project for school: running text on a LCD

Capt. Azriel made sure he type every single line, because you had to type to code 😀

Al’s TLauncher needed to be updated so it took a while before he can start. Al learned more about looping and how to add different blocks in different colors in Minecraft with JavaScript

Ozan was still debugging his work, using Nafis’ code just to find out if it work

Capt. Faris continued our TensorFlow research

While also helping other kids

and exchanging ideas with Jundy 🙂

So much ideas and collaboration today 🙂 Can’t wait until next week 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

ProCodeCG Coding Mom Batch 4 – Day #13 – 8 Jan 2018

Day #13 already!

Time to get ready for the final presentation 🙂

Today there were only 2 out of 5 could make it to the class

and they made huge progress with their projects 🙂 This one working on Google Maps

and the other working on the design

super awesome job 🙂 They’ll be great on the presentation 🙂 We’re still monitoring the ones didn’t attend the class 🙂 Hoping they can catch up! 🙂

ProCodeCG Regular Coding Class – ESPectro/Arduino Programming & Open Topics – 13 Jan 2018

Our regular coding class is always open for any kids interested to learn about technology and want to be a programmer/researcher 🙂

Capt. Awa (left) was doing a research on reading objects around for robots using ultrasonic (Capt. Fizhan on the right was just looking around LOL)

But first Awa wanted to show his latest project with ProCodeCG LED

Then moved on to the next project

ultrasonic and motor servo

the ultrasonic worked but the motor servo wouldn’t spin 😀

apparently two cables was switched and it worked after we reversed it 😀

Firaas (yellow shirt) was ready to learn GameMaker 🙂

Capt. Azriel (blue shirt) was assigned the task to teach Firaas 🙂

the sprite

the wall

the first game created by Firaas yaaay 🙂 Firaas will learn to create another game next week 🙂

Capt. Cinta was still doing the research about creating a story generator with Python 😉

Cinta discussed the content of the database to create the story with another writer 😀

And another one joining in 🙂

These three are brilliant girls who love writing 🙂

And Cinta’s code is a combination of Cinta’s writing and coding skill 🙂 Nice!

For next week Cinta wanted to create a game in Python 🙂 We’ll see what game it will be 🙂

Ain and Awa explored lots of structures with RedStone in Minecraft

Ain created lots of things in there

Even rockets 🙂

and infinite rails 🙂

Azriel was also exploring structure with RedStone in Minecraft

He created a dispenser than can give you meat and water

A seven segment display

and more 🙂

And we have Sulaiman joining the regular class yaay 🙂 Warming up with Minecraft Hour of Code

Sulaiman did it very well because he’d done this with Thunkable when he was taking Creating Apps topic on the last Coding Camp 🙂

We download the requirement and setup the computer while Sulaiman was working with Minecraft Hour of Code, and when he finished, we’re ready to go 🙂

Capt. Ain (wearing hat) helped Sulaiman with the setup

Sulaiman learned to create simple structures using JavaScript code in Minecraft

 

 

Next time he will write his own code and create more complex structures like this one 🙂

Until next week 😉

 

 

 

 

ProCodeCG Coding Mom Batch 4 – Day #12 – 15 Jan 2018

We’re back after a long holiday 😉

Lots of things to catch up!

We opened XAMPP again and started learning basic databases and MySQL

happy as always LOL

and serious as always

there will always be different problem to debug on each class 🙂 this one is about activating XAMPP on mac 😀

The screenshots of what we have learned today 🙂

Creating a database

setting privileges

running SQL queries

creating tables

and then created php codes to read the database and display 🙂

We still have 2 more classes before the presentation 🙂

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – ESPectro Programming & Open Topics – 6 Jan 2018

Hello Saturday class 🙂

We had a newcomer: Firaas 🙂

There was a problem with Firaas’ laptop: it wouldn’t let browser to browse 😀 Capt. Azriel (green shirt) tried to help

Capt. Faris (dark grey ProCodeCG jacket) and Capt. Ain (grey shirt) helped too

It took 3 captains and we still couldn’t figure it out 😀

So we took different laptop and let Firaas started learning basic programming with Minecraft Hour of Code peacefully 🙂

Yep, it’s done! 🙂

and then Blockly Games

Next, CodeCombat 🙂

Capt. Ain helped

Firaas learned for 3 straight hours 🙂

So he deserved some Minecraft time 5-10 mins before the class ended 🙂

Ain learned a new thing: BlocklyCraft 🙂 A drag-and-drop Minecraft Modding programming 🙂

Capt. Faris gave Ain a jump start 🙂

Ain will be given the task to explore BlocklyCraft 🙂

Nafis was assigned to debug his project all over again 😀

start from scratch

ready to test

the LCD didn’t work

but the ultrasonic sensor worked

trying to make LCD works

it did, and counting 🙂

then we added buzzer, and it worked 🙂 we still hadn’t time to figure out how to make it beep when it counts 🙂

Cinta was doing another challenge in Python

Creating a Hangman game 🙂

These girls collaborating to create the questions 😀

The result

And for the next session, Cinta wanted to do some Minecraft Modding 🙂

While Azriel had a bad headache LOL

We were trying to figure out this code to create a triangle in Minecraft using BlocklyCraft

We had tried every possible ways

And yet it still didn’t work

And kept giving us false result :((

So we called Faris for help

And he found out that something was wrong with the converter and it kept crashing the server

Apparently the converter from Blockly to JavaScript didn’t work smoothly.

So we assigned another task to Azriel: creating structures with RedStone

And our research, conducted by Capt. Faris had shown lots of progress

now the algorithm can count objects

So we add another data sets

we used bigger data set for higher precision

comparison of left: larger dataset, right: smaller dataset

the counting

the dataset

how to change dataset

we need place to run the training because the last time we tried, Google Cloud Engine didn’t work 😦

Will be reporting again next week 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – ESPectro/Arduino Programming & Open Topics – 30 Dec 2017

This is how we spend our holiday 🙂

Ozan

and Nafis is catching up with their ultrasonic counter with buzzer and LED project

The debugging took weeks, we probably will change the project just to clear our head and will get back to it later 😀

Ozan even had to compare his code line by line with Nafis’

Cinta started a new project:

The project is a textbased advanture game

we design the flow of the story

the code

Azriel, got a new task: to explore BlocklyCraft: to code in Minecraft with drag-and-drop 🙂

Capt. Faris helped Ajil getting started 🙂

Now we can do Minecraft Modding just by drag-and-drop 🙂

this is how to create wall with certain width and length from cobblestone

we compile the blocks from the browser, localhost:7070

and then run the code on Minecraft by typing /jsp <name of the code>

how to create a paddock

with horses 😀

a two floors building

 

we also can code in JavaScript (like with ScriptCraft) and in XML too 🙂

We really annoyed by this “Mouvement” block and we decided to change it

so we modified the file 😀

so now it’s correctly displayed “Movement” 😉

the file is in this directory

lots of progress today, Azriel 🙂

so now the platform is ready, Azriel is given task to explore more! 😉

Capt. Faris is working hard on our TensorFlow research

He’s running a TensorFlow training on Google Cloud Engine

 

the library we’re using

some screenshots of what we’re doing 🙂

We trained TensorFlow to recognize cars

The result 🙂 Next is to count them 🙂

Bonus: nice pics capturing random things in the class 😉

Looking forward to the next class 🙂 Expecting more kids to come so we can do more research and projects 🙂
