ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 14 Apr 2018

This is not just a regular coding class. This is a research center of ProCodeCG Kids 😉

This is from earlier: Aidia and Echa helped preparing the class 😉

Echa missed several classes and got back with lots of ideas 🙂

One of Echa’s project is to create Hogwart School 😉

Wooowww

Awesome creations Echa! 🙂

Aidia had her own project too 🙂

Aidia likes to build structures in Minecraft

And explores things can be done in Minecraft like cooking

Or created hidden place to hide stuffs

or trying funny things like making things upside down 😀

She also has pets too 🙂 Later Aidia will learn to do things in Minecraft with JavaScript coding 😉

Sulaiman continued his JavaScript coding in Minecraft 🙂

Today Sul created a skyscraper 🙂

With code we can create how many floors as we want 🙂

We can also add colors too to the skyscraper

So we got a rainbow building 🙂

The code 😉

Sul learned to create a bridge 🙂

Kinan, welcome back 🙂

To refresh the memory, Kinan re-created her race car game, and did it differently 😉

different version but better than previous! Nice one Kinan! 🙂

Capt. Azriel on duty helping Kinan

Kinan’s brand new RaceCar Game 😉

Nafis was given task to test micro servo for our robotic project 🙂 Nafis was in IoT team but he’s needed to help us with the testing too 🙂 Thanks Nafis 🙂

Sam continued working on his RaceCar game, still struggling to add fuel indicator 🙂

The most interesting thing about coding is that there’s many ways to do things. Kids will learn about problem solving by finding and choose their own way to fix a problem 🙂

Sam still figuring out to display the fuel indicator 🙂

Fathan was on the same track with Sam. He was also working on fuel indicator on the RaceCar Game

The problem with Fathan’s is there was some errors at the end of the game because when the car crashes into the other, then the fuel indicator cannot find its position because the car changed into the wrecked car sprite 😀 We still need to figure it out next week 😉

Fadhlan was given totally a new task: a robotic research 😉

First, Fadhlan had to read the tutorial

And then browse the internet to find the components

Capt. Awa was about to continue his vending machine project but given a new task to give Fadhlan a demo of how stepper motor work 🙂

So Awa prepared the code

and did some components research too

and then wrote down what we needed for the robotic project

ok the stepper motor worked fine 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Robotic Team 😉

and Fadhlan wrote down the plan

this stepper motor is for one wheel

Adding the wheel

Yas, we got one wheel

and then added the second one 😉

Vian

and Ain had problems with the server, they should download the updated server so they can continue the project

Nares got a huge progress today

Nares had finished his intro to programming sessions so he started GameMaker today 🙂

Nares’ first game 😉

Carefully see how the game grows 🙂

Capt. Awa helped Nares to improve the game even more 🙂

Capt. Awa cleaning up after the class, thanks capt! 😉 :*

Behind the scene: bonding between kids in the class 🙂

Cute scene 🙂

That’s the report for today, hoping its not overwhelming 🙂 See you again next week 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class -7 Apr 2018

How’s your Saturday? This is ours 😉

Firaas helped preparing the class 🙂 He and his mom always come very early 🙂

The class after most of the kids showed up 🙂

Firaas learns Minecraft very quickly. He created lots of things with RedStone.

This circuit, produces music 🙂

Nares had just came back from an event at his school. Very sleepy and tired, he came to the class to learn 🙂

Nares finished his second part of intro to programming and going to start creating games next week 🙂

Nafis was ready to continue his IoT project 😉

Nafis’ mission is to turn on/off this LED via cloud from his Android phone 🙂

And yeah it worked 😉

Ain

and Vian

 

and Firaas

worked together to built things in Minecraft 😉

Capt. Awa mission was to continue his vending machine project 🙂

But Capt. Awa felt like to show us the improvement he made in some games he created 😀

And then Awa wanted to add another row of vending machine. So he had to add another motor servo and controller to the circuit 🙂

The code

Not as easy as we thought, we got stuck because none of the servo worked 😀

So Koosha came to help

Koosha had a great way to debug it 🙂

The button pressing was detected but the servo didn’t move a bit 🙂 We need more time to debug 🙂

Koosha project for today is this

Required some hard work 😀

Nothing is impossible for Koosha 🙂 Next class he’s going to be assigned a new project: robotics 🙂

Azriel was still struggling with digital clock in Minecraft

Azriel had to start all over again because the last time did not work

It is quite a complex structure 🙂

We also did some research on how to create a robot in Minecraft 😀

Too many things to do, too many ideas to be executed but we still have next week 🙂 Until then 😉

 

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 31 Mar 2018

Regular Saturday fun 🙂

Glad to have Firaas back 🙂 He wanted to start learning Minecraft Modding with Spigot Server 🙂

After Firaas got the server installed, he started to enter command using JavaScript to see what happens 🙂

this is an example of creating a structure in Minecraft using JavaScript code 🙂

Firaas demonstrate his homework: Flappy Bird 🙂

It still has some bugs but in overall it’s nicely done!!!

Captains Collaboration – as always 🙂 Capt. Syahna and Capt. Cinta always have things and ideas to do as projects 🙂

Today the task for Capt. Cinta is to create data visualization using Python Libraries 🙂

It required tedious work of installation, and Capt. Faris backed us up as always 🙂

There were still some errors in installation and we’re going to fix that next week 🙂 The getting started is often the most painful stage 😀

Sam was ready to work in 3 hours straight 😉

Sam’s game development progress was awesome 🙂

Sam added lots of details to the game

including a smart trick on how to spawn the other cars randomly 🙂 The game is very smooth and challenging 🙂

Fadhlan, under the supervision of Capt. Azriel was working hard to improve his last game 🙂 *we forgot to take screenshots

Capt. Faris working on projects, while helping other students. But today he spend most of the time installing Capt. Cinta’s laptop with wordcloud Python library and its dependencies 😀

Fathan made awesome progress with his game, too 🙂

Fathan added timer, scores, lives and fuel indicator to the game 🙂

He was busy testing those indicators because some of them sometimes didn’t work properly. We’re still finding tricks to display a fuel indicator bar

We had a newcomer, Nares 🙂

Nares learned basics of programming with LightBots 🙂

He will get through intro to programming for about 1 – 2 more classes, and then he should be ready to move to the next topic 🙂

 

Azriel was working on his digital clock project in Minecraft 🙂

It’s a quite complex task that he needs two computers to do it 😀

Notice the switches and wiring 🙂

This is a different way to learn about logics and how electronic circuits work 😉

There will be more progress and interesting news about this class next week 🙂 See you soon 🙂

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 24 Mar 2018

Our Saturday Coding time 😉

Aidia was very excited to continue her Minecraft project 🙂

She took a book as a reference to make sure she did it correctly 🙂

Some the results of many 🙂

Aidia created lots of structures today 🙂 Well done! 🙂

 

Yaaay, we had a newcomer: Fadhlan 🙂 Welcome!

Capt. Azriel assisted Fadhlan to get start with GameMaker

Fadhlan learned fast

and the result 🙂

Fadhlan’s first sprites

The game 🙂

Ozan was given a new task

To control the brightnes of the LED with a potentiometer

and then control the LED brightness from his smartphone via cloud! Ozan did it, the video of Ozan controlling it via MQTT Dash is in video on our Flickr 🙂 Did lots of progress today, Ozan, so proud! 🙂

Hello Fathan let’s see your progress 🙂

Fathan was developing a RaceCar Game 🙂

And the progress was obvious 😉

We still have lots of ideas to improve this game, but for today this is a great achievement 😉

Vian

collaborating with Ain

was doing a Minecraft Red Stone Project

with lots of complex structures and mechanics in it 🙂

While Koosha was ready to explore his new components 🙂

He tried several things

before finally decided to measure temperature and display it on a Nokia display 🙂

Capt. Malik was there too and be given a task to install labelImg python library to help Capt. Faris with the machine learning research 🙂

Capt. Malik caught up quickly and he now had the libraries installed, ready to process about 200+ pics to be fed into our learning system 😉

And this one is Captains bonding time 😀

See you next week! 😉

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!

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 24 Feb 2018

It was a wet and cloudy morning but kids kept coming to the class, thanks! 🙂

We had a visitor today: Ibu Inge Halim – General Manager, Banking and Financial Markets, IBM Indonesia 🙂 (on the left, in khaki blazer)

Capt. BR brought her to see how kids learn and do coding 🙂

She was amazed to see the demo of Koosha’s elevator simulation 🙂

Bu Inge took a look on what each kid was doing in the class, including Cinta’s 🙂

So here’s the detail of what the kids were working on today 🙂

Ozan was going to control LED brightness via cloud

First he had to try to control the brightness of the LED using potentiometer

But there was some problems because the potentiometer didn’t seem to work to adjust the LED brightness

We had replaced the potentiometer and it still didn’t work. Will sort this out next week and as the problem is solved we’re going to control it via MQTT Dash app from Ozan’s android phone 🙂

Our newcomer: Fathan 🙂 *he was waiting for internet connection before he can start the lesson 😀

Fathan finished learning Python with CodeCombat today

And then Capt. Azriel helped him getting started with GameMaker

 

Yeeay Fathan’s first game 🙂

Very well done, Fathan 🙂 Thanks to Capt. Azriel for the assistance 🙂

Nafis (in the corner) checked his MQTT Dash App to be tested today. He forgot to bring his laptop charger so we have to use another laptop to test it 🙂

Nafis task was to turn on/off a LED via cloud using his android phone

and after several attempts, it worked 🙂 With the help of Ka Ozan *because he had gone through the same thing a couple weeks ago 🙂 Thanks Ka Ozan 🙂

Nafis satisfied look and his sister cute making faces LOL

Cinta was making her idea into reality: creating a random topic generator 🙂 She is going to create it in Python and then with Thunkable

We also had students from Telkom University School of Economy and Business, interviewing the whole class about ProCodeCG 🙂

And Cinta showed them some of her most awesome works 😉

Capt. Syahna arrived and Cinta happily discuss her ideas to her because it was their ideas together to create this random topic generator 🙂

Capt. Faris, like usual, working on the research: data crawling and tensorflow 🙂

He said we need to improve the learning process because the result for certain images is like this

The trend of the image recognition

Vian and Ain (Ain sit on Vian’s right and we missed taking his pic today :(( ) were still doing their Minecraft Skin project together 🙂

Koosha worked on loads of thing 😀

He determined to make his elevator simulator works 🙂

Koosha rewrote the code

and checked again the circuits

And it worked 🙂 Yaaay well done!

Then we added LCD to display the info about the elevator

There were still some glitches but we will work on it next week 😉 So far it’s been a huge progress today 😉

Azriel was given a new challenge: to create a running text in Minecraft

but it was too hard so we changed it to creating elevator 🙂

like always, Azriel found each and every way to do it 🙂

The elevator

that goes up 🙂 We’re going to find out how to make it move in both directions 😉

That’s it for today! Will be reporting again next week! 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 24 Feb 2018

We’re back! 🙂

 

Kinan was back and ready to continue the work 🙂

Kinan created nice looking RaceCar game 🙂 We had a problem with drawing so we find some pics from the internet 😀

with coins too 🙂 (Silmi helped us to create this name)

Koosha was also back after a looong time!

He brought lots of stuff 🙂

And he revisited the last projects 🙂 This one is an NFC reader circuit. He will display the reading to the LCD

The codes

We had successfully displayed the data to LCD

but not yet succeeded simulating e-money when some amount of money deducted from the card 🙂

Then Koosha moved on to the other project: elevator project 🙂

The button wouldn’t turn the LED on so he unscrewed the box and check the connection inside 😀

Capt. Faris still working hard on our TensorFlow project. Cloud computing didn’t work because internet was too slow. So we have to figure out something else.

Capt. Faris still running the machine learning after the class 🙂

Welcome to the class Sam 😉 Sam visited the class 2 weeks ago and today he joined the class 🙂

Sam is a focus and determined kid

Capt. Azriel was assigned to assist him 🙂

Sam finished all the levels even the hardest one. He worked for 3 straight hours and finished LOTS of levels!!!

Hello Azriel, we’ve got lots work to do

Azriel was assigned to create a 7-segment display in Minecraft

Azriel quickly learned from tutorials

One digit seven-segment

The circuits

Two digits seven segment 🙂 Next we’re going to create a calculator 😉

Azriel also continued his smart home project 🙂 He added a swimming pool that can be filled with water with a switch

and dry it with a switch 🙂 Nice 🙂

Nafis started to install MQTT Dash on his Android phone because he was going to learn how to control a LED with cloud 🙂

He had assembled the LED on the board but not yet finished the code 🙂 *this is some kind of cousins bonding time 😀

Firaas, as usual had finished his homework

And he wanted to practice some Minecraft coding

This is the homework:

It is working nicely. There was some glitches and we sorted them out 🙂

Firaas also created his own game with animation 🙂 He’s going to add lots of things to it as soon as he got more ideas about the game, because he invented this one by himself 🙂

Capt. Awa worked hard on his radar project 🙂

The servo didn’t work so he had to debug the problem

the servo is supposed to rotate so the ultrasonic sensor mounted on top of it will read the obstacles in front of this vehicle 🙂

Silmi (purple hijab) started to create a flappy bird game 🙂

Silmi is very good at creating sprites 🙂 That’s why we keep asking her to help Kinan 😀

Tyo’s project keeps progressing

Now the form can automatically count the total

Capt. Faris, who is very fluent in Java helped Tyo to do it

The codes

Ain

and Vian

was working on modifying the skin and GUI of Minecraft

They creativity is limitless 😀

Another cousins bonding after the class 🙂 Awa and Ain 🙂

Proud to see these kids and can’t wait to see them again with the progress next week! 😉
