ProCodeCG Kids Private Robotic Class – 4 Oct 2018

When you really love something like Fadhlan loves electronics, it doesn’t matter how tired he is after school, he will always come to the class and start working 🙂

Fadhlan had to reassembly the components and give a space to new batteries to power up the robot 🙂

The new batteries *and we need another two 😀

By doing this almost everyday, Fadhlan is getting better and better 🙂

Before, we didn’t have access to Arduino power because it was blocked by one of the wheels 😀 But now it’s a very better layout 🙂

Fadhlan is only 13 yo. He is a 2nd grader of an elementary school. But he knows and can do better things at this than most of electrical engineering undergrads 😀

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Exhibition – 17 August 2018

This is our annual event that held to show the world our contributions to Indonesia 🙂 On this event, ProCodeCG Kids will present their works to public 🙂

Preparation before the event started

 

 

 

Sam getting ready to present his Asteroid of Atari Game re-making 🙂

Sam helped debugging Kinan’s code

Koosha had some bugs with the libraries 🙂

The opening ceremony: Singing our National Anthem – Indonesia Raya

Capt. Awa started the presentation with his Firefighter Robot – TC-02 🙂

The code 🙂

Zaky presenting his Website with Bootstrap 🙂

Zaky has been participated in this event since 3 years ago 🙂

The portfolio 🙂

The code 🙂

The team 😉

Our snack for today: red and white donuts from Donat Padasuuka 🙂 ❤ ❤ ❤

Edo (left) and Salman (right) created a website for Donat Padasuuka 🙂 In ProCodeCG we make real projects 🙂

The code 😉

Kinan presenting her FlappyBird Game in GameMaker

The game was working fine just like the real one 🙂 Nice work Kinan!

Sam 🙂 One of the best game programmers we have

He was presenting Asteroid of Atari, created with GameMaker

Looks and feels so real 🙂 GameMaker can be brought to more advanced levels to create difficult and complex game 🙂

Fadhlan was still working hard to debug his robot (which he figured out the day after :D)

It is amazing to see how Fadhlan robot evolves 🙂 It keeps getting better and better each time Fadhlan reconstruct it

Isn’t it impressive to see an 8th grader can be very focus doing this thing like an undergrad trying to finish his final project?

What the kids have to learn is that it is ok to make mistakes. And don’t worry if the project is not ready on time because this exhibition is not only about finished work only but also those in progress 🙂 Process is more important than result 🙂

Vian presented his No Escape Jail in Minecraft 🙂

This structure has a very complex design. Nobody can escape this jail 🙂

Sulaiman presenting his printer in Minecraft 🙂

Sulaiman was a bit nervous but the work is awesome, no worries! 😉

Malik gave us a big surprise

With this

cutie robot 😀

The LixBot! (Malix Robot) 😉

The robot can dance!

It is dancing and make awesome moves! With simple components but hard design and assembling work, there comes the LixBot! Impressive 🙂

The components

Capt. Faris, presenting Machine Learning: Face Recognition with TensorFlow 🙂

This is a cutting edge research, many people eager to learn. And our 8th grader Captain has mastered it for months 🙂

Koosha was also worked really hard to make his elevator simulator work. Too bad there was some problems with the library because this project is quite complex and requires lots of modules to be integrated.

It is not about fail or success. It’s is about working hard to solve problems. Doesn’t matter if it is not work yet. At the end we will figure it out.

The last but not least is Nadine, presenting a Python code to create a calculator with GUI

Some kids do it visually, some kids just deal with line of codes like this 🙂

The calculator

And we did give it a try to make sure it worked correctly 😉

Some brotherhood bonding after the event 🙂

Kids with their certificates 😉

Yes, this is us, presenting the best we can do to Indonesia! Happy 73rd Independence Day Indonesia

From ProCodeCG to Indonesia, with love 😉 ❤ ❤ ❤

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 25 August 2018

This is how we spend our Saturday morning 🙂

Kevin was ready to assembly his robot 🙂

Small bolts and nuts drive Kevin a bit nuts but he has to learn to deal with this 🙂 You can do it dude!

Sul had fixed his printer in Minecraft and ready to make another challenging creations

Sul discussed with Awa on what’s to do next 🙂

And then Sul decided to make a rocket 🙂

Sul’s rocket 🙂

Capt. Awa was working on several things: GameMaker and Minecraft *seemed that he wanted to have a break from doing hardware things 😀

Awa is very good at designing structures with mechanical and electronics movement in Minecraft. This one is a prison that has sensors to activate the bars to close when someone is trying to get out

Awa had successfully improved his printer to be more precise 😉

now it prints the exact pattern 🙂

Awa was given another challenge: to create a running text and he made the prototype 🙂 Very impressive!

Another challenge from Pak Bullit Sr. 😀

Capt. Faris continued his Machine Learning project by running some training on a cloud computing server service

Djalu have finished lots of levels of CodeCombat and learned lots of syntax in Python

Djalu solved lots of challenges in CodeCombat. This is good for enhancing his problem solving skill.

We had a newcomer: Faishal 🙂

Faishal is a 10th grader and can finish the tasks very quickly

Faishal, undoubtedly, is a very logic and focus thinker

Next time Faishal will be given more challenges before move on to the next subject

One of the ProCodeCG hearthtrobs 😀 Fadhlan

Fadhlan unboxing the stuff we have just shopped and start to rebuild and improve his robot 🙂

Fadhlan had to replace some components and add more 😀

Fadhlan has his own ways to make things work. A young Tony Stark 😀

Yogi came with lots of progress: He made a really cool background for his game, and he wrote lots of lines of code to make the object moves smoothly

Fathan was given a new project: to create a Plants vs Zombie game with GameMaker, which he accepted right away 😀

Fathan started to collect the assets

Fathan had created most of the sprites and the object, and also the room! This is exciting 🙂

We will observe the progress next week 🙂

*Photos and videos are available here

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 18 August 2018

The spirit of Independence Day is still so loud and strong today 🙂

Uno looked very excited to continue the lesson

Uno should learn to build some structures using examples from the book 🙂

Kevin moved on to the next lesson before starting his robotic assembling next week 🙂

Kevin had finished the task to control a RGB led to give the colors entered from the console

Fadhlan was really determined to make his robot work 🙂

It is always amazing to see how kids can be so determined 🙂 And finally Fadhlan robot worked! It moved around! YAAAAYYY!!!

While Sam has started another awesome game creation 😉

Capt. Faris started his TensorFlow research again. He activated ProCodeCG server on PaperSpace and start running the learning on the machine again

Surprise! Edo brought his little brother, Wibi 🙂

Edo will start to learn about shell scripting 😉

Wibi is only 5 years old and we’re going to teach him some logics using Minecraft 🙂

Capt. Syahna helped Wibi to learn step by step 🙂

Kinan had finished her Flappy Bird project and ready for another (more challenging) ones 🙂

Kinan’s next project: Tetris 🙂

Fadhlan was having problems with GameMaker scripts

Fathan is working on the game to make it runs smoother. Sam helped a lot.

There will always be challenges and things to learn and do and that’s why this class is keep going: because we have the brightest minds fueling it up! 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 11 August 2018

Kids are still busy preparing for the exhibition 😉

Edo’s partner didn’t come today but Edo tried his very best to make progress 🙂

Nadine was still figuring out which one to present on the exhibition: Python programming, Arduino programming or website programming 😀

Nadine finally decided to create a calculator in Python

Djalu is our newcomer 🙂 Welcome to the club 🙂

Djalu learned basic programming with CodeCombat

Capt. Faris seemed to be very confident about his presentation 🙂

Kevin is making progress each week. He soon will be ready to start his robotic project 😉

Kevin’s project today is to make LEDs alternately blinking

Koosha has a very complex project for the exhibition

 

Koosha is designing an elevator simulator

While Sulaiman has lots of projects to be presented and still couldn’t choose which one 😀

Sul and Capt. Awa working together creating a printer in Minecraft 🙂

This is how the printer works

Sam is working hard preparing for the exhibition. He’s having fun but very serious 🙂

Capt. Awa has lots to be presented too but he is focusing on upgrading his robot 😉

Vian also has lots of ideas and still thinking the best ones to be presented

Vian and Capt. Faris creating a sensor that can detect anything moving in front of it

And yes, it is counting 😉

All seemed to be ready for the upcoming exhibition 🙂 Very nice 🙂

 

 

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 4 August 2018

Our exhibition preparation continues 🙂

We had some visitors, a few kids came but didn’t bring laptops so the kids and the mom were just observing

Kinan is creating a game in GameMaker for the exhibition 🙂

Maryam will collaborate with Kinan 🙂

Uno will skip the exhibition, but continue working on Minecraft Modding

Nadine was going to create an animation project in Python

Sul is so ready for the exhibition; he already has lots of projects to be presented 😉

Sul’s door with password 😉 So cool! 🙂

Hello Kevin, glad to have you back! Kevin will start to learn robotics 😉 Yeaaah another kid joining ProCodeCG Robotics Team 😉

Capt. Faris is preparing something for the exhibition too 🙂

Fadhlan! Being optimistic about the exhibition and that’s really good 😉 We had problem in installing stuff to make his ESPectro up and running and luckily we can finish it at the end of the class. Next session we have to check up on the robot and make it move 😉

Yogy is feeling happy about the progress he’s made in GameMaker. Now he’s trying GameMaker Studio 🙂

Salman

and Edo are seriously working on Donat Padasuuka Website 😉

Fathan is improving his game

He wanted to make the game more intuitive and smooth

Ozan is back 🙂

Ozan has reached the latest milestone of IoT lessons, so he’s the most expert kid in class 😉

so Ozan was given a task to tutor Nadine to create a traffic light simulation with pedestrian button for the exhibition 🙂

 

Vian is also preparing for the exhibition. He has like hundreds of projects and now he has trouble picking up one of them 😀 😀 😀

Wish us luck for the exhibition. We only have one week left 😀

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 23 June 2018

Our class has moved to a new place! ProCodeCG now will open classes at Grapari Loop Station 🙂

It is nice place with chairs and desks and big windows 🙂

We have nice view outside the window, we can open it to get fresh air, or turn on the air conditioner when the weather is too hot 🙂

Today Kinan is ready to start a new strategy to finish her Agario Game 🙂

Kinan had to followed a quite long and complex tutorial but at this stage, she can manage it 🙂

Maryam’s laptop was already installed with GameMaker and she was ready to start her own game

The sprites

Maryam’s first game in GameMaker 🙂

Kinan helped Maryam to finish the game 🙂

Uno was given a task to type Javascript code to be executed in Minecraft 🙂

It is hard at the beginning but every programmer must do it 😉

Fadhlan was very excited about the new place

and very soon Fadhlan will have a big enough box to contain all of these 😀

Something is wrong with Fadhlan’s laptop, it refuses to connect to the internet so we had hard times to update the libraries to test the robot 😦

Aidia, happy and excited, as always 🙂

Aidia is getting more fluent operating Minecraft, and ready to inject some Javascript to create things 🙂

Aidia started from simple structures to be coded in Javascript 🙂

Sulaiman had finished all the challenges and tasks, and now given to create a new Minecraft minigames in Javascript

Sul started to learn to create a guessing number game in Javascript to be run in Minecraft

An awesome minigames in Minecraft 🙂

Yeaaay we had a newcomer, the youngest kid in the class: Gazka 🙂

Gazka still needed to be fully assisted by Nana (grandma) 😀

It took a while until Gazka was confident enough to draw the sprite by himself 🙂

And then Gazka learned some programming logics 😉

with LightBot 🙂

A good start for a very young kid learning programming 🙂 Well done Gazka 🙂

Vian had another project to explore

Minecraft animation 🙂

Vian started to create animation in Minecraft 🙂 Interesting! 🙂

Capt. Faris was busy keeping up with our research

These little guys were discussing about minigames in Minecraft on Sul’s laptop 🙂

Koosha! 😉 *never let himself be caught in camera 😀

Koosha bought some new stuff: nfc tag 😀

This kid surely had plans in head 😀 He just needs the right push and support 😉

But since Fadhlan’s laptop refused to work with wifi and devboards, we asked Koosha to check Fadhlan’s robot 😀

So many things were going on at the new place 🙂 Can’t wait until the next class 😉

Photos and videos are available here 😉

 

 

 

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 5 May 2018

Hello little engineers 🙂

Today Fadhlan brought a big box containing his robotic project 😀

Look at the awesome drawings 😀

The drill was broken so Fadhlan took some time to fix it. By himself 😉

Because other kids need Fadhlan’s drill too, so he’d better fix it fast 😀

While Capt. Awa’s dad brought Awa a robotic arm 🙂

for the new project 🙂

the robotic arm is powered by 4 micro servos

Awa should work hard to make it work 😀

Nafis was also very busy assembling his robot 🙂

He really likes doing this kind of thing 🙂

Lots of components to be attached, we need more bolts and spacers 🙂

Nice work Nafis 🙂 We’ll get things you need and we can continue on the next class 🙂

Sulaiman made lots of progress in Minecraft Modding with JavaScript 🙂

Sul created an igloo

and other structures with code 😉

And then Sul start to create mini games in Minecraft. The code will keep on track on how many blocks broken or placed by the players

Nares started to work on a new project: RaceCar Game 🙂

Nares was supervised by Capt. Azriel 🙂

The sprites

And the results 😉

Vian had a Minecraft project to do

Then Vian wanted to learn some batch scripting 😉

Finally, Vian interested to write codes, line by line, yaaaay 🙂

Well done Vian 🙂 Let’s see what we can do next week 🙂

Fathan still working on the Flappy Bird

and working hard on how to spawn those pipes randomly

Koosha, had his own plan and project, like always 😀

The project:

using ProCodeCG LED 😉

ultrasonic sensor testing

debugging the code

And this one is Capt. Awa cleaning up the room after class 😀 Like always 🙂 ❤ ❤ ❤

So many excitement and surprises everytime 🙂 Will be reporting again after the next class 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 17 Mar 2018

Hello Saturday 🙂 Our coding squad time to have fun 😉

Firaas came with lots of progress 🙂 He missed two classes but he did his homework 😉

Firaas had made lots of improvement on his BreakOut Game 🙂

Notice how creative he is on every levels 🙂

Another game Firaas proudly demonstrated 🙂

Aaaand another one 😀

Firaas likes to help other kids too 🙂 Echa had problems with Minecraft and Firaas offered some help 🙂

We got Sulaiman back too 🙂 Yaay 🙂

Sul had to catch up with Minecraft Modding 🙂

Sul learned to create more complex structures, started with a simple block stacking (that red line behind the triangle stairs) to creating triangles

like this one

and then we added alignment and colors 🙂 This is to make sure Sul understands the concept of looping 🙂

Aidia 🙂 The cheerful one 😉

Aidia was given a project today, and Vian (right) helping her with the server 🙂

Aidia learned how to administer a server 😉

Echa was also given a project 😉

She chose a project from a book 😉

the results 😉

Sam 🙂 Ready to improve his last game and create a new one 🙂

Sam had successfully add lives and score table to the game 🙂

Next week Sam will continue creating Race Car Game 🙂

Azriel was given a task to create a digital clock 🙂

It is so complicated and difficult, Azriel will continue working on it next week 🙂

Nafis had a job to test an ultrasonic buzzer circuit 🙂

While Cinta was looking for another project while doing the last one 🙂

the Python code 😉

Koosha wanted to test his new Nokia 5110 LCD 🙂

But we still haven’t figured how to make it work

Ain

and Vian were busy setting up servers to enable them to collaborate their work together

Capt. Faris (left) was busy installing stuff to Capt. Malik’s laptop

to make sure Capt. Malik can get to work very soon

Lots of things to catch up, lucky Capt. Faris is very good in giving a jump start 😉

one of work we had to do is labelling image for training. We have 100+ pics of Capt. Awa to be labelled one by one before we put it into the data set for training 😀

Note: Capt. Awa didn’t come to the class because he went for a study visit in Malaysia 🙂 He gave a presentation about the vending machine from last week 😉

So glad to have another captain joining in our research squad so we can do more things at the same time!
