ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 1 June 2019

Hello Saturday Coding Squad 🙂

we got this little buddies coming again to the class, how cute 🙂

Fadhlan’s saga still continues 😀

a brand new shiny robot 🙂

very neat! 😉

Fadhlan is going to test the power source for the robot today

We are testing several codes to the robot

The robot now can send ultrasonic readings via bluetooth to this laptop

now testing ultrasonic reading

make sure the data format is correct

and create a map based on the data

the robot works well except one thing: we need less voltage because we have just crashed the robot because it moved to fast 😀

Sam has lists to do in finishing the app

after uploading all the asset to the app, Sam has to create logo for the app 😀

The code is A LOT 🙂 Hang on Sam, we’re going to finish this very soon 🙂

Al is going to finish 2 projects today

One is the alien language project

the code will make the green monster follow what we say 🙂

when we say left, it will move to the left and vice versa 😉

the next project

is to give tourists info about recommended places 🙂 Awesome Al 🙂

Capt. Awa’s plan today is to test the TinyDuino

while also teaching 🙂

This is the TinyDuino with LED module and battery module

The TinyDuino is in the middle. On the left side is the battery module and on the right side is the LED module

Capt. Awa is discussing TinyDuino with Koosha to figure out how it works

Wibi is making a lot of progress today 🙂

He’s given a task to create as many structures as he can in Minecraft 🙂

like connecting hallway

basement

secret passage

a glass roof for the basement

adding door for entering the house properly 🙂

Ryan is also learning the same things as Wibi

only Ryan will prefer more experiments with structures 😀

Capt. Faris

and his recent research

a super cutting edge technology

an algorithm that can make living portraits from just ONE sample picture

we still finding out about the algorithm

that can make Marylin Monroe, Einstein and even Monalisa talk! *scary

Koosha

Koosha is tinkering with MSDOS and QBASIC 😀

and then helping Capt. Awa with the TinyDuino

we did some debugging to make it work

and it finally works!

thanks so much Koosha! we just haven’t figuring out yet how to make the LED module works 😉

and then Koosha get back to Minecraft Arduino project 🙂

with this complex redstone and command block configuration 😀

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 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 Regular Coding Class – 13 April 2019

Our coding vibes every Saturday 🙂

Fadhlan got a new solder and compared it to the old one 😀

And he also got a super big and tidy toolbox!

Very well organized

Especially with those little compartments! Nice job 🙂

So now he can start to work happily 😀

Today’s work is to install power supply for the robot

replacing a motor that stopped working

now all working

the next step is adding a switch

All working well. Next week we will add bluetooth module

Badi has got serious work in registering a domain and choosing hosting configuration

He had to read lots of tutorials and manuals

Including chat the customer service to activate the system with the correct payment amount and the chosen configuration

Faishal is still exploring computer security and Kali Linux

He is learning how to change IP address and manage an attack

Hafiz works really hard on this one because this game has a whole lot complexity and details than any games he had ever created 🙂

The more characters and features we added to the game, the harder to make it work 😀

Syadad lost his game from last week so he had to started from the beginning

but it is ok, he managed to catch up 🙂

This is even better than the first one 😉

Capt. Faris got an important task to make darknet works on this computer 😀

Capt. Awa wasn’t in the mood doing electronics

He’s challenging himself to create difficult structures

Koosha showed his new mods in Minecraft to create an airport and aircrafts

Koosha is also doing research on how to connect Minecraft to Arduino and he did 🙂 Now we can build some switches in Minecraft to activate real LEDs in the real world 🙂

Andra had to finished Code Combat today

and after he finished this one, he will learn how to code in Minecraft 🙂

So many excitements awaits next week 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 6 April 2019

Saturday’s Coding Squad 🙂

Capt. Faris is given a project to detect hoax and real news

plus investigating the neural nets architecture being used by our machine learning platform

The codes

Hafiz’s Plant vs Zombie Game is getting better and better 😉

we need to add lots codes to add more features to the game

Now the game has the randomly generated points (the yellow dots)

it also now has flowers that can shoot peas 🙂

Hafiz has to repeat the process for lots of sprites

and then define scoring and rules of the game. Lots of hard work but fun 🙂

Sulaiman is going to choose his own project today 🙂

We borrowed Aidia’s book to find a suitable project for Sul 🙂

After a while, Sul finally chose this one 🙂

The result 🙂

and then Sul started to create running text structure like Capt. Awa was doing earlier

Syadad started creating games today 🙂

The first sprite

Object movement test

The other sprite to be eaten by the first sprite

room setup

Yayyy, Syadad’s first game 🙂

more object arrangements and background

We will add scoring in the next class 😉

Aidia is improving her sophisticated locker system design 😉

Aidia added more structures to her world

She brought some books for references

So whatever Aidia created in her world is pure her creativity; she combined lots of ideas into unique structures

Capt. Awa asked for a challenge and so the challenge was creating a running text structure

No one has ever created this before because of it’s tricky nature. By using piston the furthest shift is 7 blocks

But Awa wouldn’t be a Captain if he wasn’t qualified 🙂 He brilliantly overcome the limitation by making it circular 🙂

The structure. Unbelievable. Impressive. Outstanding. 🙂

Awa tried several structures before finally found the correct one

Minecraft can be used to learn many things including logic, problem solving, creativity, including mechanical structures and electronics logics 😉

Experimenting with the machine

adding shield to make it waterproof 😀

Andra is still going through the intro to coding 🙂

Today he learned about function through pattern

And then moved on to more challenges. Next week Andra will learn visual coding with actual coding scripts 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 30 Mar 2019

Coding crowd this Saturday 😉

Hafiz is working on Plant vs Zombie Game. It is quite difficult and takes more time to develop than the previous ones

Preparing the sprites

the assets

each sprite is carefully designed 🙂

the background

Testing plant placing

The objects are now placed neatly in the room 😉

More objects added 🙂 Nice! Next is to add scoring and spawning the zombie randomly 🙂

Sam’s work is getting harder and harder to do since the target is to release this app to PlayStore

We need to think how to manage the screens and the size of the app

We are discussing the screen flow and the best UI/UX design especially to show the user the progress of memorizing the Juz’Amma

we just realized that Sam’s app has too many screens and that makes the app size grows. The more the screens, the harder it is to manage

Capt. Faris had his own app developed with Android Studio, and he shared his architecture to us

it is time to throw in database 😉 and the trick is to create limited screen, and reload the view from the database

so Sam has to learn about accessing TinyDB 😀

It leaves him like this LOL

Fadhlan, stop eating the candy and start to work! 😀

We have to work on this: testing the right and left motor plus the controller, and make it navigates

Working hardddd there you go 😀

Capt. Awa helped us testing the robot *and ran away when the robot was activated because it refuse to avoid obstacles LOL but at least we know that button, LED, buzzer, wheels, are working and we just need to check the ultrasonic before adding compass and bluetooth module 😀

Capt. Faris and his research 😀 He was given a challenge to learn how to prevent shoplifting with camera object detection

Capt. Awa, brought new toys!

The new stuffs have the same size as a coin!

wowww, modules for TinyDuino

But we still couldn’t get these little mates to work :(( We suspected the USB-UART driver or probably the port

So Capt. Awa explored another thing: basic electronics simulation

and then helping us with the robot

the robot was going in circles so Capt. Awa helped us switching the polarity 🙂

Testing is done for today (too many things being hit by the robot LOL)

Badi’s website is ready to be uploaded to public 🙂 Today Badi will buy domain and hosting and upload it

We’re searching for the best option, and after we got one, Pavilion19 will have a website 🙂

Aidia is so excited about her Minecraft Project today 🙂

She brought lots of books for references 🙂

Aidia does both design and mechanical structures in Minecraft

Look at this: she created a locker system below a beautiful building she designed 😉 How nice!!!

Inside the locker corridor 🙂 Next week we’re going to add button to get a specific locker sent to a specific person 😉

Al is going to make another animation, yaaay 🙂

He’s getting better 🙂

Al finds references on the internet to get more ideas

And he created animation for educational purposes like this one 🙂

We have a newcomer: welcome Andra 🙂

Like the others, Andra had to go through the intro to programming

One challenge down

Now another one, and Andra can do it very quickly with lots of excitement 🙂

Yogi came with the same problem from the last class: displaying a score that follows the object 🙂

This one worked for Game Maker Studio 2 but not with version 1 so we tried so many ways and still couldn’t figure it out. Don’t worry Yogi we’ll work it out

Syadad is now ready for a code combat 😉

Syadad is very excited with this challenge, especially because now he has a friend: Andra 🙂

Next week Syadad will be ready for creating games yaay!!!

Until then! 😉
