ProCodeCG – Darul Hikam – Coding Class – 15 Feb 2019

Because kids have to start earlier to learn coding and information technology so they can cope with what is awaiting them in the future 😉

 

Isma’ill worked in team with Faisal 🙂

Isma’ill do the coding and Faisal do the wiring

Their project today is to use an LDR sensor to activate a LED. When it is dark then the LED will be activated and it will be off when there is light

The code

The next project is LCD 🙂

ok this also worked, next time we will display sensor readings

Faisal worked in team with Isma’ill 🙂 He’s responsible to do the wiring

teamwork

testing the circuit and worked nicely

next project is LCD

that worked fine as well 🙂

Hanif made huge progress today 🙂

He keeps adding improvements to the game

including awesome animations 🙂

We tried every possible ways to improve the game, this time to add score that follows the object

the drag and drop view

the code. The score is showing now but it still not the way we wanted it 😀 Going to fix it next week 😉

Shaby will learn programming with CodeCombat today

It is like playing game but it is teaching us how to solve challenges with lines of codes

We have to type in the code on the right windows and see how it works on the left window

Capt. Bullit helped Shaby to get through the more difficult levels

How Shaby has gone so far 🙂 Excellent progress 🙂

Captain on Duty: Capt. Bullitt. He’s getting better at teaching and controlling the class now 😉

Khalis continued his Blockly journey

Today is to learn how to bring that bird back to the nest after hunting some worms 🙂

This teaches about direction in angles and x y axis

Surprisingly, Khalis already knows how to modify the script (in HTML/JavaScript) to change the appearence on the browser 🙂

He opened View Page Source and modify the code to see the result on the browser 🙂

Like this one, the “tujuh” word was supposed to be a number 🙂 So this kid already know where to modify 😀 Next time he can start to learn web programming 😉

The next topic is to learn coding with music 🙂

Khalis had to put the right notes to get the right song 🙂

Andra finished all the levels of CodeCombat today 🙂

He is certainly very good in coding and challenges 🙂

Andra can figure out almost all of the challenges given

including those difficult ones

He understands the code line by line 🙂

And kept going on until he finished all the levels

Arsa was also learning with Blockly but he chose the Pond

this teaches about distance and angles and looping 🙂

He also tried Turtle

and went back to the opening puzzle

Before he finally very interested in creating animation 🙂

In this section we are supposed to copy the shapes and make it moves

Once we get the shapes right, we can code it to make animations, like a movie

We also have to put the duration of each move

Very challenging and interesting and Arsa made lots of progress he must be proud of today 😉

ProCodeCG – Darul Hikam – Coding Class – 25 Jan 2019

Hello Friday 🙂 Time to meet these little coders and see what they make this week 🙂

Captain on Duty: Capt. Bullitt 😀

Capt. Bullitt’s latest IoT project 😉

Hanif had successfully generate random spawning cars in the game 🙂

Hanif also helped other kids, he’s very kind 🙂

Now we need to show some scores and add fuel indicator 🙂

Khalis

checking up on his previous games

and then he wanted to continue Blockly 🙂

Khalis helped Hana because Khalis had started Blockly a week earlier 🙂

Andra

wanted to revisit Minecraft Hour of Code to refresh the logics 🙂

Faisal’s target for today is to make a micro servo work 🙂

under supervision of Capt. Bullitt

Need some time to type down the code

correcting some errors

and now it works 😉

Trying different kind of servo 🙂

also works 🙂

Shaby is working on Blocky Turtle today

he’s making a huge progress 🙂

Shaby learned nested if 🙂

it is getting harder

and Capt. Bullitt was ready to assist 😉

Hana is very interested learning with Blockly 🙂

She’s catching up with the class after missing a lot 😉

Arsa planned to continue with GameMaker

but ended up doing Blockly challenges with others

Daffa is working on the Bird part of Blockly

He learned about sequence and x-axis and y-axis and heading in degrees 🙂

Great achievements and now we’re ready for weekend 😉

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 – 5 Days Kids Coding Crash Course – Day #2 – 9 Aug 2017

Day #2 🙂 Ghazaska Mom was there all the time doing paperworks while the kids learned more about programming 🙂

Ready to learn! 🙂

Today we learn and practice more about programming logic

so that he will get used to solve problems with sequences, looping, conditionals 🙂

adding more complexity with x and y axis plus direction 🙂

Ghazaska don’t give up easily. But he needs to take a break once in a while, just like other kids usually do: Minecraft / YouTube 🙂

We will learn to create game on Day #3, but before creating our own games, we learn to do coding with games 🙂 CodeCombat 🙂

Today Ghazaska learned some Python language 🙂

He finished enough levels to be able to move to the next lesson, next week 😉

Next week we will create our own games 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Creating Mobile Apps – Day #1 – 22 June 2017

There’s only one kid registering to Creating Mobile Apps Coding Camp so we decided to merge the class with IoT Programming Coding Camp 🙂

Capt. Zaki is giving Fikra full supervision for Creating Mobile Apps 😉

Today Fikra learned basic logic and programming with Blockly

Tomorrow Fikra will start to code mobile apps with Thunkable 🙂

We have lots of apps to create, will be reporting about it tomorrow 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – Intro to Programming, GameMaker, Java Programming, Apps Programming – 10 Dec 2016

Today there were lots of things going on in the class and lots of progress too 🙂

Nanin (the girl in the middle) arrived early as usual 🙂 Her sister (the one with red hijab) wanted to accompany her while doing some coloring 🙂 Capt. Syahna was there but Capt. Cinta couldn’t make it to the class today.

The kids from the previous class were still there trying to finish their schematics 🙂

Nanin could be small but she has big energy and passion! 😉

Azriel was going to do his project in Android Studio. Azriel has been hired by two companies and they keep him busy 🙂 Azriel’s skill has been escalated rapidly lately 🙂

Faris with his new glasses. He learns very fast. He reads Java technical tutorials and create lots of difficult codes in Java 🙂

This one is still doing school project 😉

Tyo, Ozan dan Fizhan discussed about school projects 🙂

Nanin learned a lot today, under Capt. Syahna’s supervision 🙂

Java’s project today is to create a Drive Thru GUI 🙂

The GameMaker project today is to continue creating your games 🙂 Vian is very serious in making this one. He has lots of sprites and scenarios 🙂 He has lots of ideas each time he comes to the class 🙂

Tyo couldn’t wait to learn a new lesson today 🙂

Hellooo Robbie, welcome back! Robbie continued his Blockly track today. He will be ready to do LightBots or CodeCombat next week 🙂

Vian can sit for hours working on his game 🙂

Rafi made LOTS of progress today. He finished a game just by following the tutorial 🙂 He’ll be ready to create his very own next week! 🙂

Faris is a very detail programmer. He will hunt down every error and make it work! 🙂

Vian’s character of the game. Getting better and more detail each time 🙂

This is how Vian looks when he’s thinking about the game scenarios 🙂

Capt. Azriel help Areli with the code 🙂

Each one doing their own thing 🙂

Rafi can read instruction very well. He won’t miss any detail 🙂

Jundy’s father helped to debug the error 🙂

Jundy learns Java very quickly. He types very fast too 🙂

Capt. Azriel is a good teacher 🙂 He taught Areli lots of things.

Robbie’s dad helps Robbie with the code 🙂

Azriel offered some help too 🙂

Jundy had successfully modified the Drive Thru GUI by adding a combobox with list of drink choices 🙂

People don’t believe that kids will do code-typing, but they do! 🙂

Another character of Vian’s Game 🙂

Robbie’s Dad is still trying to figure out Robbie’s high level Blockly Puzzle 🙂

Rafi’s game is so complete it has list of scores too! 🙂

Awesome work and progress today! But we didn’t have any Apps Programming today because Capt. Cinta and Prudence didn’t come today. Maybe next week! 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 1 Oct 2016 – Intro to Programming, GameMaker, Java Programming and Apps Programming

Rafi was still working on intro to programming with Blockly 🙂

Capt. BR helping Faris with his Java code

This is Jundy, reading the handout and try the Java codes by himself 🙂

Vian created another new game! 🙂

He said he was going to make a jumping boat 🙂

Darrell was waiting JDK being installed to his laptop

Tyo had figured out why Java compilation didn’t work last week 🙂

Hello Yogi! He was actually very happy to finally got GameMaker installed and so he could start create game (he was just not happy we took his picture :D)

Rezvan had a bit problem with his Racing Car Game and Capt. Cinta helped him out

And it worked fine 🙂

Jundy had finished another code in Java. Excellent! 🙂

Tyo was so glad he could make Java Application and Java Applet work

he moved on to the password window code 🙂

Capt. BR showed Rezvan and Rheino some interesting games to be made 🙂

Yogi seemed so happy with the GameMaker

He created some sprites and make them move 🙂 And he wouldn’t stop, his dad literally should drag him to get home 😀

Pru was working on his Android Apps to determine while a number is odd or even

And it worked on her tablet, yaaay. The homework is to create an app that can tell whether a number is prime or not 🙂

Capt. BR and Jundy and Java code 🙂

Friendship in the class 🙂

Aaaand this little hero came up in the end to help us tidy up the class!

Thanks so much Wibi! 🙂 ❤ ❤ ❤

Please come back again next week! 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Reguler Coding Class – 13 Aug 2016 – More IoT and Exhibition Prep

ProCodeCG Kids Class yesterday! We learned more Arduino while preparing for the exhibition 😉

Lots of kids, lots of parents 😀

But we kinda shorthanded yesterday because lots of Captains didn’t come. This one became really busy 😀

Zaky brought his Raspi and continued working on his project for the Exhibition 🙂

They’re accessing the Raspi through network using a laptop but having problems with selecting the wifi connection because both devices should use the same network

The Dad helped 🙂

We had a Coding Mum running in parallel on the other side 😀 This coding kids class hadn’t reached the maximum level of crowdness. More kids was still coming in 😀

Tyo was busy improving his game by adding more features and levels.

Vian creating rooms for his game in GameMaker

Areli started working on Blockly

Malik had almost finished his game in Java, but the sound is still not working

This Mum is one of our Coding Mum Class, and she was helping her kid to setup Arduino IDE 😉 We make the whole family do coding 😀

While the mum setting up the software, the kid playing around with the LEDs 😀

Clarence and Awa were so into Arduino 😀 They’re going to present their Arduino project on the Exhibition 🙂

The Dad jumped in too 😀 Yep, officially the whole family! 😀

Rezandra has finished several games for the exhibition and he’s interested in exploring Arduino too 🙂 Maybe next week!

Farrell added more features to his solar system code

Azriel has finished the code and added more songs into it.

Jundy finished LightBot and working on Blockly

Clarence and Farrell couldn’t stop tinkering with the Arduino and breadboard 😀

Clarence finished his task to connect Arduino to an RGB LED

The code

Adding more RGB LEDs

One parent connected the Arduino to an LCD

So we tried to do the same

And worked! Yeaayy 🙂

Edo showed up late and he worked on his project with Tyo right away 🙂

Parents have their own projects and discussion too 😉

Awesome! 🙂

Lots and lots of things going on in the class

Prudence started learning JavaScript with Crunchzilla Monster

Capt. Syahna giving assistance to Vian and Areli

We’re so busy and kinda shorthanded but we’re all having fun!!!

Plus, we bought a new sensor!

Going to make experiments and teach it in the class!!!

Keep following our updates 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Creating Apps – Day #1

First day of Creating Apps! 🙂

Today we learn how to create android apps with Thunkable

Thunkable is a spin off of App Inventor. It is a very friendly tools to create mobile apps

And after the apps ready, it can be exported using QR Code or as .apk to be downloaded to computer, and run with a simulator.

As the beginning, we create a button that will display a picture when it is clicked

Thunkable use drag and drop coding (very similar to Blockly)

A recommended simulator is KoPlayer (for PC) or BlueStacks (for Windows and Mac). This is how the app looks like on BlueStacks for Mac

The next app we created is a login form

The code

How it looks like on BlueStacks

If we enter the correct user id and password, it will go to the next screen

Then we add some back button

And some time picker too

Before the class started

Capt. Cinta and Capt. Syahna

Edo, Thoriq and Fauzan

Fadhlan and Fayza

Zahra and Icha

Capt. Zaki and Capt. Fizhan

The QR Code

Everyone can read it and use the app on their android phone

Capt. Cinta assisting Fadhlan

Lots of things to do today because we had to do lots of setups for each computer and smartphones

This is Tian

Ismail

Nadhira

Capt. Zaki assisting Fayza

Rheino

Fadhlan

Zahra and Icha having fun 😀

Edo and Thoriq too 😀

Ozan looks so happy too 🙂

Today our GodFather Captain visited us again and shared some stories about electronic devices and information technology 🙂

He showed us Gizwits

The kids were really interested

ProCodeCG is so going to make class or coding camp “IOT for Kids” 😉

Back to work again

This is how the app looks like on kids android smartphones

This is too fun! We will continue this tomorrow! 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class 19 Mar 2016 – Improving Random Guessing Algorithm in Python

Today, as usual we have several threads running in the class 🙂

The main thread is improving our random searching algorithm in Python.

We modified the algorithm to improve the searching so that it will find the target in less iteration.

Other thread is visual programming intro with Minecraft visual coding and Blockly, and quiz code in Python.

Roni is diligently working on his task: Minecraft visual programming and LightBots.

Binar, Malik, Reza, Faris and Aliyah are working on random searching algorithm improvement.

Cinta is catching up on the quiz code. She has lots of ideas about the questions and so excited about the scoring 🙂 Ardi is working on algorithm improvement too while Clarence and Prudence working on their Blockly challenges 🙂

This is Malik helping improving the code live on screen 🙂 He’s a good programmer and debugger 🙂

This one can be a ProCodeCG Captain one day 😉

Cinta needs different version of Python to make the quiz work.

Aliyah is a dilligent and persistence student. Very quiet, but very powerful too 🙂

In our class, kids can learn at their own pace and interests.

Like this one. Working on his own while others working on their own 😉

Prudence and Clarence are nice students too, they keep in track with what should be done in class.

And these two curious minds, are always surprising with their unexpected brilliant ideas 😀 They are working on improving their code in different ways, and then compare the result 😀 Faris is very good in testing 🙂

This is Clarence. He, and his sister Prudence, won’t stop working even after the class ended 😀

Faris testing his work on his computer with Malik’s in progress 😀

And these are some of what we did today 🙂
