ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 28 Sept 2019

This is our Saturday 🙂 How’s yours?

Syathir is starting to create a game 🙂

He had created some of the sprites last week and today he started to create a room

adding sprites to the room

the more sprites the merrier 😀

Syathir looks very excited exploring what he can do with GameMaker, so we just let him improvise 😀

Aidia’s plan is to install the components and the circuits

to this delicately built structure

but first we have to test the sensor again because last week it wouldn’t read anything

and finally it did read some values but we still need to calibrate the sensor to make sure it detects the correct colors

we need to re-scale the readings to fit the numbers processed by the code

Kinan is still building her Agario Game

Today she started to make the player gets bigger when it eats the food

Clive

had finished all he wanted to do with the maze game 🙂

So he may start another game: a shooting game. Look how Clive created a sequence of slightly different sprites to give smooth animation

done with creating sprites and making this character shooting. Will add more complexity to the game in the next class 🙂

Sam is given a new project: to detect object and give it a price, so that later we can scan different objects to get the total price 🙂

the codes

Al

wanted to do some editing before continuing his machine learning project

Al is still adding the data and make the machine learn and we haven’t yet got the results

Capt. Faris is exploring a chatbot that can answer questions and suggest links to a certain topic

we deploy it to android

and to Telegram messaging

Techa was very happy when he was told that he was going to create a game 🙂

starting with creating sprites

and then creating objects that can moves

creating rooms and put the objects in there

adding more sprites and more behaviour

Techa made several rooms so that the player and move to another room after reaching some certain points

interesting-looking game 🙂

Baran still wants to learn JavaScript

Baran learns looping by drawing interesting line patterns 🙂

Ihsan is going to continue the lesson of basic electronics

the lesson for today is multi-function button to activate 2 LEDs

and then creating a traffic light with pedestrian button simulation

needed some time to debugging each wire and LED and also the polarity until it finally works 🙂

Yogi has successfully added mini map to the game, yayy

the mini map needs some scale and coordinates adjustments

the code

Ara still has to generate Rainbow tables to be able to hack password

the command below is to generate  8 char length md5 hash of uppercase letters

Syadad is still figuring out the Minecraft setting to connect to Arduino with Minecraft Link

Neo is running out of time. The competition will be started next week

and he is finding the most simplest way to send Arduino sensor readings to a browser

Zaaka has been adding more advanced techniques to the game 🙂

including animations

and some other features to make the game feel more realistic and running smoothly

Kishan is doing the same thing with the game 🙂

He added more sprites, more animations, more tricks that surely increase the awesomeness level of the game 😉

Mika is creating his first game with GameMaker 🙂

He has learned to create some sprites, making objects and put them in a room 🙂

Next time we will learn to make the objects move 😉

ProCodeCG – Private Training – Object Classification with Tensorflow – 26 Sept 2019 – Day #3

We have installed Tensorflow and the dependencies to do object recognition and object counting. Today we started to collect our own data and do labelling so we can start do training with our own data set

it requires lots of steps and lots of time 😀

we have to resize all the images and label the image before feeding it to the learning system

We started with very few data set and going to how the result is. And then we will add more data and do classifications.

Great progress for today 🙂 We still have 2 more sessions and we’re going to finish the target by then 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Private Class – Robotics – 23 Sept 2019

Road to Russia saga continues 🙂

Fadhlan has created an awesome PPT *for a 1000th time 😀

And it is getting better and better 🙂 He is truly a hardworker 🙂

Today Fadhlan will rewire SNAPBOT I because it has stopped working since we tested it with PWM control and migrate it to Arduino Mega

and today we’re going to dissect another mouse. We have crushed 1 USB mouse, dissect and test 2 USB mouse, buy a wireless mouse but then found an easier way with PS2 mouse that we’re going to test today

The wiring

The readings

 

The mapping

Allright! The mouse will be deployed on SNAPBOT II 🙂

The mess we created today 😀

Messy but we’re happy with the progress! Now we’re quite optimistic that we can get things done on time! 🙂

ProCodeCG – Kids Private Class – Electronics Project – 21 Sept 2019

We’re finishing Josh Smart Aquarium Project 🙂

Today we’re adding LED to display the ultrasonic reading and status

the code

testing the object detection and distance

and then adding a counting down info and the status of the water pump 🙂

well done, Josh, good luck with the competition 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 21 Sept 2019

Reporting how we spend our Saturday morning 🙂

Faiz voluntarily wants to learn Python programming 🙂 So started with downloading and installing Python

and then following the handout to learn basic syntax and commands

Faiz learns how to create simple codes in Python to do math 🙂 Well done!

Adit starts to learn GameMaker 🙂

starting to create his own game 😉

Aidia is now back to the color sorter project

she rewires the project because we want to put the component on the placeholders

testing the sensor, and it is not reading. need to find what is wrong

Syadad is still working hard with Minecraft Link to connect Minecraft to Arduino. It usually take a while to understand the command block and the electronics wiring 🙂

Harraz

is making projects in Minecraft, still need some time to digest JavaScript coding in Minecraft

Baran wants to learn JavaScript 😉

so today he spent the whole 3 hours exploring JavaScript and learned a lot 😉

Fadhlan keeps progressing with both SNAPBOT I and II

SNAPBOT I before moving from Arduino Uno to Arduino Mega

SNAPBOT II with Arduino Mega

SNAPBOT I and II

Hafiz is still working on the Detecting Color for the Color Blind App 🙂

He finally can build the project into App Inventor

and then test the App from his smartphone 🙂 Very nice 😉

The code

Next is to add text to voice module 🙂 A very nice progress 🙂

Boy continued learning Python with CodeCombat

and then started to create games with GameMaker 🙂

Techa is still finishing the last levels of CodeCombat 😉

a good way to learn problem solving 🙂

Boy helped Techa to solve a level 🙂

Capt. Faris is very busy helping kids with different and advanced topics 🙂 But he always finds solution 😉

Capt. Faris helped Faiz to understand Python basic syntax 😉

Ara is struggling with attacking password with Rainbow Tables 🙂 Lots of steps to do 🙂

generating the Rainbow Tables

and after finishing generating /downloading the tables then we are ready to attack 🙂

Yogi’s task for today is to create a mini map in Game Maker Studio

He followed a tutorial and finally did it 🙂

Syathir is making his own game today 🙂

Mika is also started his GameMaker journey today. We forgot to take pics because we were busy discussing about what he should do for homework 😉

Neo is making a huge progress with his Detecting Humidity with IoT project

We’re testing the code

and the components

Neo use a sensor, two development boards and a relay to control an air pump

Neo uses MQTTBox to monitor the humidity, the status and to detect problems

an amazing work! Keep going Neo!

Fab is struggling with installing GameMaker because the laptop does not support the old version and apparently refuse to install .NET libraries required. So we spent some time to find work around to solve this and we decided to download GameMaker Studio 2 instead 🙂 *so sorry that we forgot to take pic of Fab due to the high activities in the class 😦

ProCodeCG – Darul Hikam – Kids Coding Class – 20 September 2019

Our class today 🙂 Lots of progress and excitement going on 🙂

Darrell

now can add scores to the game

and add levels so when the player has reached certain score, the game will move to the next level 🙂

Darrel is very excited to improve the game 🙂 He seems to be happy playing his own game 🙂

Dipta is back 🙂

today Dipta is doing a challenge to learn more about basic programming

And so does Maliq 🙂

drag and drop programming is very effective to teach kids basic programming logics

Rifqi had finished the LightBot challenge and now he’s speeding up doing the next challenge

Rifqi has finished all the maze challenges

and started the bird challenge 🙂

Mandala is busy improving his game

by arranging the room

and adding more sprites

Hanif’s project for today is ultrasonic with buzzer

and as soon as it’s done, next is to add LEDs

The buzzer will active in certain frequency when it detects object in certain distance, and certain LEDs will light up too 🙂

all is working well, great progress for today 🙂

Capt. Bullitt is having lunch before starts teaching 🙂

Capt. Bullitt has to make sure each kid gets assistance needed in the class 🙂

Acha still has lots of ideas to be put in the game 🙂

The game is getting more advanced each time 🙂

you can tell the complexity of a game by checking out how much the objects involved 😀 take a look at these 🙂

Khalis is busy doing Minecraft Hero Adventure, this is more advanced than what his peers have done 🙂

Sami’ is doing two challenges for today: Minecraft Hour of Code and LightBots 🙂

even though Sami’s has started creating games, these challenges is important to develop structured thinking for problem solving

The class 🙂

ProCodeCG – Private Training – Malware – 19 Sept 2019 – Day #2

Today we learned to create some worms and keyloggers. In python 🙂

we also did some brainstorming to find out what we really want to do

There are so many interesting topics and we cannot decided yet which ones are good enough to do research on.

We will report next week’s progress 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Private Class – Robotics – 16 Sept 2019

the saga continues… SNAPBOTS Road to Russia 🙂 this is the room before the saga started 😀

we’re setting up camera to capture our activity today 😀

lots of things to do, especially hacking mouse chip to read robot movements but we’re still struggling with reading the data because we haven’t got the correct data sheet 😦

SNAPBOT II is powered with Arduino Mega and navigates really well. What we are going to do is adding mouse reading and broadcast it via bluetooth to display a map on a laptop/PC

hacking the mouse is not as easy as we thought 😀

well if what we’ve been doing is easy, we wouldn’t have come this far 😉

we also added a potentiometer to SNAPBOT I to control the PWM so we can adjust the speed of the wheels

done!

Fayza, Fadhlan’s older sister is also in the same competition this year 🙂 Good luck all! 🙂

we’re tired and work is still piling up but we won’t give up! gear up until the D-Day! 😉

ProCodeCG – Kids Private Class – Electronics Project – 14 Sept 2019

Josh’s saga continues 🙂 The competition is around the corner, meaning that we should work harder 🙂

Today Josh is learning how an ultrasonic sensor work

he should fix his own code when there’s any error messages 🙂

after the testing, Josh will add buzzer

and make both component work 😉

there will be more errors when you add more lines of code, but this is how Josh learns how to debug a code

now adding a LED, the circuit is getting more complex 🙂

and then Josh will combine all the codes to control this 😉

Wish us luck 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 14 Sept 2019

We have lots of projects and deadlines, like most of the times 🙂 Yes we have lots of pressures but it doesn’t mean that the class shouldn’t be fun 🙂

Fadhlan has to deal with SNAPBOT I and II 😀

we have to test SNAPBOT II and add mouse reading to it

while adding PWM control to SNAPBOT I

the headache is real 😀

the space needed is expanding 😀

SNAPBOT II uses Arduino Mega to provide all the ports needed. We’re going to replace Arduino Uno on SNAPBOT I to Mega to since we’re running out of ports there too.

Clive

is getting better at creating games. He learns super fast!

Clive has been shown an example of an advanced game created with GameMaker, and now he’s applying the tricks to his game

now the game has animations 🙂

The game is looking and working great! 🙂

Syadad is going to explore more basic electronics today 🙂

Typing and understanding code is not difficult for Syadad, he had some experience with Minecraft coding in JavaScript 😉

The LED is blinking 🙂

and we’re going to make more difficult circuits to be controlled from Minecraft 🙂

Aidia is working on her Color Sorter Project today

Aidia’s parents helped her creating this structure

The Color Sorter will sort the candy based on colors! 🙂

Aidia starts with the wiring 🙂

While her supportive Mom is busy working on her little sister project 😉

now it’s time to lay out the components on the structure and find out the best set up

several adjustments is still needed to give way for cables and the components. This is going to be awesome!

Ara is preparing for a competition next Wednesday

so he’s making sure all is working well while also exploring the next topic: hacking with Rainbow Tables

Yogi

is creating a new game, based on a game we chose, and we’re going to modify it 🙂

Since Yogi is pretty fluent with GameMaker, he’s given a hard challenge to keep him from getting bored

ok some parts of the code are functioning well 🙂 He just got to keep going

Capt. Faris is given a task to do research on how to create a ChatBot for education 🙂

ChatBot with DialogFlow

Mohan wants to create more advanced game with GameMaker Studio

so we set up the laptop to download GameMaker 2

Koosha has his own plan

but not yet telling us what is he doing 😀

and we got a newcomer: Syathir 🙂

He starts like everyone else: intro to programming 😉

Aidia helps Syathir to get started 🙂

not bad at all for a beginner 😉

once Syathir learns how to make this work, the rest will be easy 🙂

Mika can solve most of the challenges given

So today he should finish this LightBot challenge series

and he did 😉

Now he may starts to learn Python programming 🙂

Fab had finished his series of challenges with LightBots and Blockly too

so Fab can also start to learn Python programming too 😉

The class today 🙂
