ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 25 May 2019

ProCodeCG Research Center 😉 Look at how many brains working on many projects 🙂

Wibi has just joined the class 🙂

Wibi will start to learn coding by playing Minecraft

Ryan has also joined the class  and learning the same thing as Wibi. Kids in their age start learning basic programming skills by building things so they will learn about shapes, geometry, repetition, pattern etc. 🙂

Capt. Faris is working on his machine learning project while also teaching other kids 🙂

Fadhlan’s hardest task is to find out why the wheels stopped working

while other components do work 🙂

Badi started to learn Python 🙂

because we need a script to update two different calendars for Pavilion19 website 🙂

Like usual, Badi is a fast learner 🙂

Badi learns turtle, shapes, and looping in Python very fast

before he got back to web programming: patching the problem from the previous week

The problem is the calendar plug in only work for android or ios.

so the quick solution is provide links for both OS directing to different version of calendar

Aidia is still working on her big project: color sorter with arduino

Aidia spent 3 straight hours typing hundreds lines of code 🙂

we will start the wiring after Aidia finishes typing in the code 🙂

Capt. Awa is exploring new things like this rocket launcher simulation

while Al is working on a new machine learning project

recognising sounds

Al is recording voice for “left” and “right” that will make a sprite turn to left or to the right

Harraz wants to install Game Maker Studio 2

This is good because Game Maker Studio 2 gives more libraries and features

Harraz also wants to learn Minecraft Modding

Today he learns how to type in JavaScript codes into Minecraft 🙂

and make some geometry structures and buildings

this is so much fun 🙂 Next week Harraz will type his own JavaScript code 🙂

Sam is working hard entering assets to his Juz’amma App

The app is now working very smoothly now

After Sam is finished entering all the verses, we are ready to upload it to PlayStore 🙂

Koosha is given a task to create a locker system in Minecraft

and next class we’re going to use this relay to control smart home appliances 🙂

We had visitors from Arduino Community 🙂

ProCodeCG – Kids Private Class – Basic Electronics – 24 May 2019

Alright we have decided the next project for Tyo 🙂 We’ve been thinking for weeks about choosing a sound recognition project from several alternatives. We have to decide which one and how to do it.

Today we will try simpler one, option number #2 🙂

We’re using BitVoicer for the speech recognition app to enable Arduino accepting voice command

After inputting voice samples, then we test them

After setting up BitVoicer then we will setup the Arduino

We’re going to connect BitVoicer to Arduino that will control home appliances (or at least simulation of home appliances :))

We still need some time to be able to operate BitVoice fluently but for now we already know the basic principles

This is gonna be fun 🙂 We’ll see how far we can push this project 🙂

ProCodeCG Creating Games Private Class – Day #3 – 24 May 2019

Day #3 🙂

Today we’re downloading Game Maker Studio 2

We take a look at the options we have when we’re ready to export the game to .apk and upload it to PlayStore

Writing down the plan

and the most important thing: developing the game 🙂

We decide to create the most simple game first

We got the plan and the skill not it’s time for the hard work 🙂

*Photos and videos are also available here

ProCodeCG Creating Games Private Class – Day #2 – 23 May 2019

Day #2. We start to think about what games to make 😉

This is how we do brainstorming and designing the game 🙂

We have LOTS of ideas but we will choose one to create today: Matching Game. The game will be about matching pictures or cards. The codes:

The prototype of the game 🙂 We took a lot of time to figure out how to identify same objects without too many complicated stuff 🙂

Great, at least it works now. The main logics have been coded, the hard work is now on creating assets 😀

Creating games, even the simplest ones need hard work, persistency and experience.

There’s no such things as shortcut 🙂 We have to spend time and work 🙂

ProCodeCG Creating Games Private Class – Day #1 – 22 May 2019

Day #1 of Creating Games Private Class 🙂 The target for 3 days is to be able to make a game that is eligible to be uploaded to PlayStore 😉

Before start to create a game, one should learn basic principals of programming. Today Fariq has to go through some tasks to learn the logics and basic skills to create a game

Doing these kind of challenges and solving problems can help us to be more creative and flexible

On the left side is a tool to create games: GameMaker

Even though this tools is simple, it is powerful enough to create awesome games

and also to learn programming

An example of a simple game created with Game Maker 🙂 The first game of Fariq 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Private Robotic Class – 22 May 2019

Our preparation for Young Scientist Competition 2019 in Russia this December 😉

Our target today is to debug the wheels and integrate the bluetooth module to the robot

Testing ultrasonic sensor readings

adding bluetooth module

upload the code to send ultrasonic sensor readings via bluetooth to Processing App on laptop

data readings to be sent

alright! succesfully sending ultrasonic readings to processing and save it to a file to be converted as a map 😉

Lots of work that we love! 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 18 May 2019

Our Saturday Sanctuary Coding Day 😀

Aidia is starting a new super interesting project: color sorting machine with Arduino 🙂

we are using a color sensor to sort smarties candy based on the colors 🙂

We are going to test the sensor with Arduino Uno because the Nano needs some soldering 🙂

typing in the code

Done wiring

Testing the sensor using this colorful book 😀

fixing the code

sensor readings: works fine, yayyyy 🙂

As a reward for finishing the task today, Aidia did some Scratch programming for refreshing 😀 In the next class we will test the arduino nano 🙂

Al is ready for a new project 😉

The first project today is controlling this fan and lamp by entering a command

the AI will turn the fan or the lamp or both by analysing the command entered 🙂

Al then chooses another project

The next one is to identify objects 🙂

the codes

the data

the code processing the data

Badi is very busy finding calendar library that works both on Android and iOS 😀

some libraries work well on iOS

some is working on Android

but not working on both already 🙂 Badi reads every tutorial available on the internet 😀

Badi install and uninstall many versions of calendar libraries to make sure it works on all platforms

this one is looking good on Android *but not working on iOS 😀

the saga continues! 😀

Jihan did some warming up with LightBot 🙂

This is an important exercise for understanding about procedures and functions 🙂

And then Jihan started to do Machine Learning 🙂

Jihan’s first machine learning project 🙂 Working well 🙂

The next project 😉

Syadad did some improvements with his latest version of game

and after creating some new sprites, he started to install Spigot Server for Minecraft Modding 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 11 May 2019

Fasting doesn’t necessarily means that we cannot do our regular activities, especially our Saturday coding class 🙂

Sam is on the final stage of his Juz’amma App

The app is working well now, we decided not to use database as long as the app does not exceeds 50MB limit

So basically what Sam should do is adding the rest of the content and it will be ready to be uploaded to PlayStore 😉

Keep on going Sam! 🙂

Hafiz is working on his Feeding Frenzy Game *lots of video on this 🙂 Hafiz now has lots of skill to develop his own game 🙂

Fadhlan is very busy today

He decided to reconstruct the robot

Fadhlan makes notes to make sure he doesn’t forget anything

Look how he optimize the usage of breadboard 🙂

We’re going to test bluetooth module as soon as the basic functions are running well

Fadhlan certainly makes awesome progress during this journey 🙂 SO PROUD 🙂

Button, LED and Ultrasonic works. But the wheels still don’t. Fadhlan will fix it very soon 🙂

Al finished two Machine Learning projects today 🙂

The first one is the project to show smiling face when we type nice words and crying face when we type bad words

the words

the face

The codes. And it works nicely 🙂

The next project is a dancing panda that will stop dancing if we look at it 🙂

the code

the data set for training

the result 😀 Awesome work Al 🙂

Badi is demoing how to clone wifi connection with NodeMCU

the result

And Badi got back to the website programming afterwards 🙂 He wanted to change the time and date format in the website 😉

Capt. Awa

has to teach a new student today: Juan

Capt. Awa introduces basic programming to Juan and guides him all the way

until Juan finished the task 🙂

Next to teach is Blockly Games

Capt. Faris

quietly has uploaded his Memorize Quran App to PlayStore 😉 Super proud 🙂

Capt. Faris checks if Al’s Machine Learning Project can be pushed further to do more complex tasks

and Capt. Faris also does research to help Sam with the app

Koosha

is given a task to create a tunnel with sensor that will turn on the torches along the tunnel and link it to Arduino LEDs

Koosha has a million way to do things 😉

Andra is now going to test his first JavaScript code

The code will stack a number of blocks on top of each other

Andra had to change the block with anything else

He changed it into TNT blocks 😀

The next code is building a triangle. Still in progress. Will be continued next week 😉

ProCodeCG – Kids Private Class – Basic Electronics – 8 May 2019

Two missions for today: to explore sound sensor and PIR sensor

we’re going to test this sound sensor to detect the beat of a music and make a LED blinking the beat 🙂

the wiring

the code

serial monitor

setting up the sensitivity of the sensor

and after that, it works 🙂 *find the link of the videos on the bottom of the page

PIR sensor, took some time to warm it up

so far, after testing 2 PIR sensors, ultrasonic sensor is more reliable 🙂

Hafiz now has many skills to create different games 😉 He’s free to create anything he likes 🙂

Aidia is going to continue connecting Minecraft to Arduino

Setting up the server

Start building the blocks to activate Arduino LED

the command blocks

Koosha gave Aidia some help

Linking Minecraft to Arduino is very interesting 🙂 Now Aidia can control anything connected to Arduino from Minecraft 😉

Badi is working on the website

Maintaining schedules and booking system of Pavilion 19

Entering data in JSON format

And then Badi wants to learn NodeMCU

installing libraries

running the code

Badi wants to create fake wifi connection 😀

Capt. Faris is still working with his datasets

He wants to add hand gestures to the learning system

the dataset

Fadhlan’s task for today is to install power supplies for the robot

plus integrating the bluetooth module

And when he was busy soldering the robot, the seat of the chair fell 😀 Glad he wasn’t hurt and nothing was broken 🙂

The batteries (that later sparks because the switch got short-circuited)

So Fadhlan has to fix the switch and check why one wheel doesn’t work

Sam has got serious things to do with the Juz’amma app

He now can store data in local storage but not yet with local database

we have to carefully design the database for the application before starting to enter the data

Harraz (so sorry we didn’t manage to get his picture) is creating a new game

with lots of sprites

Once Harraz done with the assets, we’re going to develop an awesome game 🙂

Koosha

is ready to explore Minecraft Link more

another way to turn Arduino LED on and off 🙂

Koosha explored some other mods

The mod to have a computer with keyboard and browser inside Minecraft

Capt. Awa is researching Minecraft Link too

Capt. Awa helped other students learning Minecraft Link too 😉

Syadad is going to create a new game today 🙂

His Maze Game is full-featured already 🙂

He’s going to make a shooting game

Andra is going to type his own Minecraft mod today 🙂

He will type his own javascript code and then install it to the server and run it Minecraft 🙂 Let’s see the result next week 🙂

Mohan came back after a while

and picked up where he left, and got distracted with Minecraft Modding too 😀

Jihan (we’re so sorry we didn’t get her picture as well 😦 ) is learning basic programming

She is a fast learner and she will start to learn machine learning soon 🙂

Wow lots of projects and progress this week 🙂 We will be reporting again soon 😉
