ProCodeCG Kids Coding Exhibition 2016

ProCodeCG Kids Exhibition 2016! We had 13 kids presenting their codes (2 kids work in a team) 🙂

These are the kids presenting their awesome works today!

From left to right (back): Rezandra, Malik, Farrell, Clarence, Tyo, Edo, Ardi, Azriel

From left to right (front): Zaky, Awa, Faris, Muhammad, Cinta

Setting up before the presentation. This is Clarence

Tyo

Ardi

Zaky

Awa

Look at these incredible 8 yo s 🙂 Awa and Zaky

Zaky turned his chair around to see the big monitor better

And Awa looks so proud of his Arduino board project 😉

 

Farrell

Cinta

We had to switch to several laptop so Cinta can display her work on screen

First presentation: Malik – Jack O Lantern Game in Java

Posing with the coding Godfather, Prof. Budi Rahardjo 😉

The game is written in Java, using Eclipse as the IDE

The second presentation: Azriel – “Music in Python”

Azriel create a code in Python that can play music notes by reading a file of numbers

And then Clarence – “Arduino Basics”. Clarence one of the first ProCodeCG Kids exploring Arduino. He presented Arduino basic project, writing a code that will light up LEDs on breadboard from left to right back and forth with random delay. He also set up the breadboard.

The code

Clarence is a very focus and smart kid, but he is very shy 🙂

 

So that Prof. BR had to help him explaining 🙂

After that it was Cinta’s turn. The only ProCodeCG Kid girl in this exhibition 🙂

She presented a game of Trash Sorting in GameMaker

Cinta is a very smart and confident kid. Doing presentation in front of many people is not a problem for her 😉

Then Farrell presented his work about Solar System in Python 🙂

Farrell created a code to draw planets orbits trailings, in Python. He uses real data from NASA 🙂

Next is Faris presenting his work: ProCodeCG Webview in Android Studio”

He created an apps to read a web 🙂

After that, Tyo and Edo presented their “Adventure Game in GameMaker”

The game is very educative. It has some dialogs that give hints how to solve the problems

And when the player get the correct answer, it will continue the adventure

Next is Ardi: “Animation in Minecraft”. Ardi created an animation inside Minecraft by creating frames and activate them one by one using redstone.

Then Zaky present his work : Burning Rocket in GreenFoot 🙂 He created the presentation slides!

This 8 yo kid rocks! He is very confident 🙂

He joined Java Programming topic of ProCodecG Kids Coding Camp last July and he has been progressing. A lot!!!

After that is Rezandra: Space Explorer in GameMaker

A very interesting game, many levels 🙂 Rezandra has several games in hand but he just presented this one 🙂

Then Muhammad, presenting “World Run Go”, a game created with Construct

A very interesting game with LOTS of levels! 🙂

Then the last but not least: Awa! 🙂 This 8 yo is one of those ProCodeCG Kids who is really interested to development board 🙂

 

His created code and circuit to turn on a line of red and white LED’s alternately 🙂 A very awesome work for our independence day today 😉

And this is the food, powered by Parents! Thanks so much!

And the audience, thanks for coming!

And this is what happen behind the scene 🙂

Capt. Fizhan making documentation

And what’s inside the server room 😀 Thanks to Capt. Zaki and Digilife Team for their fully supporting us! They made sure things work for EACH kid 🙂 thanks so much!!!

Hoping to see you again next year maybe?

So proud to be part of bringing out the best of these kids to give a better future for Indonesia!

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Java Programming – Day #3

The last day of ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Java Programming! 🙂

Today we finished our pie-shot-the banana-with-cherry code and start another one:

Flappy Bird in Greenfoot 🙂

It is a bit hard but most of the methods are just the same with the previous games we have created 🙂

We missed one student today, the others were still excited to pick up where we left yesterday 😉

Our captains (Zaki, Reza, Fizhan, Faris)

Capt. Syahna

Lots of adults take a look at the screen when we do this and ask: “How could it be possible kids learning this?” 😀

Yes it is possible! This is Ara typing the code and later make sure the code is error free

This is Zaky, the youngest one in the class 🙂 He was very serious and always want to get things done. He just won’t stop until he finished. And he complained a lot about other kids playing the games instead of typing the code 😉

The kids sometimes play some games in between lines of code because they have to wait other kids to finish typing so when they have finished their part, they usually play games or watch YouTube. It is allowed as long as they finish their work.

But today’s code was very long, there was no time to play 😀

Each kid has to make sure they got everything right on every classes and methods

So Capt. Zaki was very busy navigating the screen 😀

We split the screen to accommodate more kids 🙂

Capt. Faris and Capt. Malik debugging Ronggur’s code

The good thing about coding is that it indirectly teaches kids about consistency and little details. That you have to do things properly and in order. That a single character can cause errors 😀

A view like this make us proud that we have young brains ready to defend the country 🙂

Capt. Malik helped Muhammad with the code

And we moved to Flappy Bird!

Capt. Malik explained the code, with Capt. Zaki as the screen operator 😉

And Capt. Fizhan took a video of interview with the Lead Captain for our coding camp promo video 😉

Our class from the outside 🙂 Looking good 🙂

Capt. Faris debug Dika’s code

Capt. Malik checked on every kid making sure they understand

Zaky is a very enthusiast programmer. He was  closely under Capt. Malik’s assistance. Capt. Malik said that the code wasn’t difficult 😀 If an 8 yo like Zaky can comprehend it so should the rest of the class, he said 😀 😀 😀 Two young brightest minds! 🙂

Muhammad referring to Tyo’s work to make his code work

The class has always been fun!

But today is the last day and this is us with the certificates yaaay!!!

See you on Monday with Python Programming! 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Java Programming – Day #2

Day #3 of ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Java Programming 😉 Today we create another game that can display score.

We created a rocket and some rocks, and when the rocket hit the rocks then we will get some scores 🙂

The code is more complex than what we created yesterday 🙂

All kids showed up but some arrived late

Capt. Faris assisting Aqeel

Capt. Zaki assisting Zaky 😀

Captain teams discussed about many things.

In front is Capt. Malik getting ready for today’s presentation

All kids seemed to be able to follow the class. Yeah the topic is hard but they can catch up:)

We did some revisions and debugging before Malik’s code was ready to be presented after Friday Prayer

Friday Prayer break

Almost all boys went to a mosque across the street

And when they got back, Capt. Malik showed us a new program he just made: Snake game in Java, with Eclipse 🙂

Ok time for presenting a more difficult game to the kids. Capt. Zaki and Capt. Malik did some setting up in the control room

Okay ready! 🙂

The game Capt. Malik presented was about a pie that can shoot banana with cherry 😀

Capt. Zaki helped navigating the display 🙂

The code is quite long and and we should continue the code tomorrow

Capt. Fizhan (on the left) took a video of Capt. Malik’s presentation

Today we create simple pie and cherry and banana classes and methods, and will add the details tomorrow! This is Capt. Reza and Capt. Faris testing the code 🙂

Fauzan. Always so shy 😀 He always sit in the corner but he always pays attention and understands everything 🙂

Every kid tried very hard to digest the code. Vai asked questions right away 🙂

We have to divide the screen into two because some kids type very fast while others need more time 🙂

Thoriq and Edo

Reza, Tyo and Ozan (on the back)

Zahra and Raisya

Front row: Muhammad and Ara. Zaky on the back

After presentation, Capt. Malik prepare a code for tomorrow: Basketball Game 😀

And the kids got idea to change the objects to different kind of foods

And they start browsing the internet to find some REAL pic to be added to the game LOL

The first is seblak bandung

Then es cendol

Es buah

And things get worse with es durian

and pizza! LOL

The class was very fun because the kids are serious but can also be so funny! Hoping to get more fun tomorrow! 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Java Programming – Day #1

Some screenshots of what we did today 😉

Tomorrow we’ll learn more advanced Greenfoot 😉

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class 4 June 2016 – Morse Code in Python

Kids said that they were bored with Greenfoot and Java so we decided to go back learning Python again today 🙂

We created a code to translate alphabet and numbers with morse code 🙂 It was similar to our substitution cipher but this one is a bit tricky because one alphabet will be translated to more than just one character 🙂

Only Malik was given the task to modify the morse code because the others apparently in the mood of competition and chose to continue their Python quest on codesaya.com 😀

Not all the kids were bored with Greenfoot 🙂 Pru still had lots of things in mind to do with Java 🙂

And we have Rezandra back! He said we wanted to learn Python today and since the morse code is too advanced, he was given the task to learn from codesaya.com 🙂

And we had Reza back too 🙂 (the kid unpacking his backpack)

Roni was working on his Python quest on CodeCombat.com 🙂 He understood real quick and seemed to be more involved and serious in coding now 🙂

Clarence (kid in white t-shirt) was still happy playing around with Greenfoot 😀

Malik finally joined codesaya.com along with Reza and Rezandra after he finished the morse code 🙂

While this little one, Awa, decided his own topic for today, Angry Bird at code.org 😀

Reza was very serious doing his work 🙂

And so was Rezandra 🙂

These are some screenshot of the morse code today 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class 14 May 2016 – More Java Programming and Godot Engine Exploration

Wooow! Today we have lots of kids coming in! 🙂

The topics for today are Java Programming, and Godot Engine exploration 😉

Faris and Ardi are assigned to explore Godot: a free and open source 2D and 3D game engine 😉

According to his exploration, Ardi said that Godot is a quite difficult and complex tool. Much difficult than Algodoo.

Ardi and Faris make a good team 🙂

Gaga has a new laptop, he has to reinstall everything but he catches up quickly.

Reza is still debugging his program. The spawning method runs uncontrollably 😀

We have the twins back! Welcome back Kevin!

Welcome back Michael!

Awa gets a little bored of typing 😀 We need to find something more interesting for him next week 😉

Aliyah is very quiet but she is very effective in doing her work!

Yaaay, we have the Lead Captain, Zaki, back! He doesn’t like to be photographed so we just have to accept this 😀

Pru is working on assets for her game

Look at this kids! The don’t come just for coding, the also play and talk with each other, including cats 😀 This class is always so warm and comfortable!

We have to keep adding table because so many kids show up today 🙂

The Lead Captain has to keep up very quickly because we need him to help running the class! Especially with this volume of the students 😀

The crowd over here is still busy doing their so-called “Vengeance Project”. But at the end of the class they said they were bored and want to change topic LOL

We have a newcomer here, Vian was ready to start but too bad he didn’t bring any laptops and our spare were all occupied 😦 But he will come back next week! 🙂

These girls over here write stories to in between coding 🙂

It’s amazing to find so many talents in the class 😉

Rheino is also a regular student. He now goes to a school in Jakarta so he only show up occasionally 🙂 Glad to have you back, mate!

Faris is showing Gaga some Godot’s features

Ardi is still working on understanding Godot 😀

It’s always like this, kids would be still busy and unprepared to go when their parents picking them up 😀

Whooaaaa lots of kids and parents 🙂

The kids are still busy with lots of things

Looks like they would never leave 😀

It’s so great to see these kind of interactions and the warmth of friendship in the class 🙂

Reza, was still working hard debugging his code, even after the class ended. He’s just a determined mind.

Awa, has called it a day already. LOL

And this guys are getting ready to go home. The apparently didn’t achieve lots of progress today so that they wanted to change topics 😀

We’ll see what we’re going to learn next week! 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class 7 May 2016 – Greenfoot Projects

We still have our class running even on long weekend! 😉 And surprisingly, lots of kids showed up! 🙂

Farrel setup his own working space because he wanted to continue his project 😉

There were several threads going in the class today: Greenfoot intro, Greenfoot intermediate, Flappy Bird project, and also “The Vengeance Project” 😀

Roni worked hard today, he finished everything asked to be done! Yaaaay Roni! 😉

Aliyah added score and spawn methods to her code

We splited the screen in two: the left one is for the main class (the part Roni was working on) and the right side is for the Counter class (the part Aliyah was working on)

The asynchronous class worked just fine 😉

Reza did some debugging to his code and ready to inject the spawn method

Malik, the leader of Flappy Bird Project didn’t has just finished the Greenfoot version. He is also writing it in pure Java. This is the listing of the code, in Eclipse.

Binar was catching up with Greenfoot tutorials

Al figuring out some errors

And we had a newcomer! Muhammad 🙂 He had given a jumpstart to code with Greenfoot 🙂

Faris was getting ready to assist Muhammad 😉

Malik observing his code because he was given a task to help Kak Binar finding what’s wrong with her code 🙂

We always help each other 🙂

Oh, and we also had successfully install pip and Paramiko for “The Vengeance Project” 😀 We taught the kid how to use command prompt to install things and set the environment variables to make it work! 😉

Well this is the haven for our tribe, where we can get together, make friends and do things we like: solving problems with code 🙂

Binar looked so busy catching up after several weeks missing the class 🙂

After they got Paramiko installed, Azriel and Farrell now ready to continue the project

Reza switched his laptop so some files should be copied to keep him in track.

This captain is very busy doing multiple things 😀

This is the Greenfoot version of Malik’s Flappy Bird! Runs so smoothly like the real Flappy Bird!!!

Faris gave it a try. While Malik is very brilliant at coding, Faris is very brilliant in debugging. He found a bug in the code, and that is so impressive!!! They should work together as a team (like they always did) 🙂

Some screenshots: Malik’s FlappyBird in Greenfoot

The listing of the code in Greenfoot

And the listing of the code in java. Not yet finished and has reached 300 lines!

We’ll continue all we did today next week 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class 16 April 2016- More Objects and Methods in Java

Hello! Yesterday we added more classes and methods to our Java coding 😉

We added timer, counter, random spawning, start button and so many more 🙂

This is Awa adding more lines to his code and making sure it can be compiled and worked 🙂

Ardi is reading the tutorial and catches up things quickly after a few weeks of absence 😉 Welcome back, Ardi! 🙂

Malik came with lots of progress. He had finished all homework and ready to do some more!

While Clarence had different thing in mind, he wanted to create cupcakes war 😀

While Pru was busy with the crabs eating lots of polar bears 😀

Ardi had almost done with his catching up and he started to play with a cat. And feed it LOL

Capt. Syahna was in charge as the display operator as usual 🙂

There were a little course on the back of the class, a crash course on editing pics 😉

Malik had an idea of creating Flappy Bird with Java 😉

So while the others start adding counters method to the code, Malik had started a new thread 😀

He started right away, downloading assets and creating classes

It was a great idea for Awa too! He switched from the last code and start his own Flappy Bird code 😀

We need some image editing to get clean Flappy Bird images so these guys were talking about editing files with smartphone 🙂

Reza is also catching up with the class 🙂 He wasn’t into the Flappy Bird yet 🙂

A snapshot of some of what we did!

See you next week 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class 9 April 2016 – Adding In More Java Class and Methods

Today the class is at Digilife Dago again 😉 We did some improvements on our previous OOP codes in Java 🙂 Some kids have just got their new ProCodeCG jackets and this is how they look like 🙂

Some kids preferred to sit by the window with set up like this 😀

Pru started to install Greenfoot

And so did Clarence

This cool ProCodeCG kid is Malik! He had finished all his homework (after finishing all the tutorial last week): adding more subclasses, adding scores and live bar!

The persistence look of our typical little coders in ProCodeCG 🙂

The youngest one, Awa, started picking up what he left last week

The air conditioner temperature was set very low so kids were very comfortable being under the jacket and hood 😀

This is what Clarence did with his code: adding many subclasses randomly with funny weird names 😀 No wonder he got error messages on every classes 😀

It was really surprising that kids can understand about Object Oriented Programming (OOP) very intuitively!!!

Doing this activity every week is a very nice and fulfilling experience 🙂

The class grows so fast. This are Faris and Malik discussing about modifying the code. Faris suggest and improvement to Malik’s code: he wanted to improve the movement of the spaceship to be able to move smother with smaller fractions of degrees (and it worked 😉 )

This is the code modification by Faris

This one said that he was hungry and needed to fuel up before get passed out again LOL

Capt. Syahna also got so busy 🙂

Awa after fueling himself up, and decided to tried his ProCodeCG jacket on 😉

Faris is now working on Awa’s code. Awa wanted to duplicate the object being eaten by another object 😀

So Malik was giving help too

And they discuss it together. How cute! 🙂

While Pru and Clarence were busy exploring Greenfoot by making objects move, adding some control and move them more 😀

These ones are still working on the same thing. They are really a good team. One of the value ProCodeCG wants to educate to kids is teamwork 🙂

At the end of the class Faris showed us a video explaining that Greenfoot can be connected to a Kinect!!! How cool is that!!!

We definitely have to try this one day!

The code is not very long (but the library would certainly be is 😀 )

So we learned so much today! And more next week! 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class 2 Apr 2016 – Intro to Java

Today ProCodeCG Kids learns some Java! Yeaaah 😉

We learn about class and subclasses, subliminally 🙂

We use GreenFoot to learn to create simple games. GreenFoot a bit looks like GameMaker, with visual interactions but with more inline coding.

So kids can define their own classes, instantiate it and give them methods. In visuals.

Kids said that Python is much easier LOL. But they should learn about Java since this language is still the most popular language in the world. Besides, they need to learn some OOP (Object Oriented Programming). Roni, a newcomer of this class is also given the same topic 😉

Their experiences with Python make these kids are willing to type in codes, and have sense on which line goes to where. But this one had too much he said he’s going to continue the typing next week and pass out for now LOL 😀

Gaga and Rheino, best buddies in coding and telling each other about games too 😀

Faris is tinkering with his java code. These kids are trained to learn by themselves by reading tutorials. They are free to ask for help, but they need to find for themselves first.

Malik (sit next to Faris) has finished all the examples given in tutorial.

Awa started to work again and happy to see his Java code works! 😉

Cinta is very curious about improving hers. She said this is so much like GameMaker but much harder. Don’t worry Cinta, you’ll get used to it in no time! 🙂

 

 

So we’re going to continue this again, next week? Yes!!! Awa said 😀

Some screenshots of Greenfoot’s IDE

And some lines of code 😉
