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 Regular Coding Class – 30 July 2016 – Exhibition Prep Part 2

Whoaaa, we got lots of things going on today in our kids regular coding class 😀 We had lots of kids, lots of activities and lots of surprises 😀 We got newcomers too 😉

This is Areli, a newcomer, a very serious thinker 🙂

Capt. Faris and Capt. Reza working in team with Farrell to improve Farrell’s solar system code 🙂

While Azriel was preparing to present his work today 🙂

And we got our Lead Captain back! Zaki has been so busy lately after being accepted at SMUN 3 Bandung 🙂

Clarence and Pru, working on their Minecraft project. While at the back, there were Rayna (a cousin from Netherland) and Al (Aliya) busy with their stuff too 🙂

We also got Jundy and Rasen as newcomers! 😉

At the back row there were Capt. Zaki assisting Vian while Edo and Tyo working on their collaboration project and we also got Ozan (blue shirt) back!!!

Capt. Faris checked up on Areli while Capt. Zaki took a look on Farrell and Reza’s 🙂

These newcomers were fast! 🙂

Al was picking up where she left on CyberSecurity 🙂

While Rayna is working on Minecraft Hour of Code 🙂

Azriel preparing the presentation

He created a code to translate numbers to tone 🙂

His code can play music by reading a file of numbers (that represent notes)

The audience (who can give questions too 😉 )

Well, Azriel did it very well, both the presentation and answering the questions 🙂

The captains worked together to make things work (Capt. Anya helped with projector connection, Capt. Fizhan prepared the soundsystem and Capt. Zaki operated the screen) 🙂

While the others keep working on their own (and getting ready to do presentation next week 😉 )

Now it’s Farrell’s turn (apparently he forgot something by that gesture? LOL)

Capt. Reza assisted Areli to register to CodeCombat

Farrell’s code is about solar system

The code prints the trail of each planet, using real metrics and constants from NASA

Farrell can explain very well

And did answer the questions very well, while also showing the details 😉

We also had a debate about the world is flat topic and too bad we cannot upload the video here 😀 It’s amazing how kids using their simple logic to explain twisted theory grown ups make up! 😛

And at the end of the class we clean up the room, and the cousin helped us too! Thanks Rayna, hope you enjoy the class and bring some cool memories to Netherland!

 

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 23 July 2016 – Exhibition Prep Part 1

Hello! Today we did some prep for the upcoming ProCodeCG Kids Exhibition 😉 We also did lots of other things today 🙂

Azriel was preparing to present his code for the exhibition

While Capt. Cinta giving jumpstart to Awa and Darrell 🙂

Edo helped Tyo to create Android apps with Thunkable

We had a newcomer: Zahran 😉 His little brother looked interested in what his big bro was doing, like any other ProCodeCG Kids Little Bros 😀

Awa was catching up with the Cyber Security topic he missed last week

We also had Vian back (after quite a long time), he was under Capt. Faris assistance 🙂

And later Azriel said there was something wrong going on with his code and he cancelled the presentation LOL

Clarence and Prudence are the most quiet students in class. They were also keeping up with the Cyber Security thing and the finished it 🙂

Yaaay, our Capt. Reza was back! He came and before had a chance to unpack his back and set up his laptop, he already served the duty of helping other kid 😉 ❤

Faris, while helping Vian, was doing an investigation about the source code of Pokemon Go 😀 He downloaded the .apk and decompile it. And dissected it 😀

We didn’t need the projector today because so many things were going on 😀

Capt. Cinta started a new project we named: InstaKilo 😀 This is a simple apps supposed to look like Instagram where we have photos and people can like and leave comments 🙂

We’re developing it with Thunkable 🙂

Awa looked so serious! 😀

So did Darrell 🙂

So did Zahran 😀

Awa got the best tutor 🙂 Look how happy he was 😀

Yayyy Rezandra came too with a finished game in GameMaker for exhibition! All we need is adding scores and more features 🙂

The game looked like this 🙂

Muhammad came too! (with his little brother, so typical in ProCodeCG Kids Coding Class to see pairs of sibling like this 😀 )

Azriel was very busy fixing his code while Reza was busy catching up

We’re all busy!

We’re busy and we discuss with each other to solve things

This is Azriel’s code. Apparently there was some error related to the datatype (the method expect integer while the input parameter was float)

Awa was working so hard he said  he need to faint for a while 😀 😀 😀

Malik came with his code in (pure) Java. A chatting apps.

We just need to fix a few error. The code is written in Java. No visual programming, no drag and drop 😀

Tyo and Edo were working on their code for exhibition

Muhammad was doing some password cracking example

Awa went to the other side of the class to check what other kids were doing 🙂

Any progress, Azriel?

Prudence had finished her Cyber Security task and she moved on to the next challenge

Reza did come late but he successfully caught up!

One of the most entertaining things in this place is that we always find a pet 😀

The cat just quietly napping on the table 😀

And we will name it Thunkable 😀

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Creating Apps – Day #2

Creating Apps, Day #2 😉

We created a game today! 😉 A simple game we used to code with GML (GameMaker Language). This Pong Game is a very good example to introduce canvas, objects, image, sounds, arrangement and control 🙂

Some of the code

The whole code

Next we created a simple calculator

The code

The calculator on the simulator

And we also created a guess game

the code is still very simple, we will improve it tomorrow 🙂

This is when the guess is wrong

And this is when the guess is correct 🙂

For each app we just generate the QR Code and everybody can play 🙂

The GodFather Captain gave us a visit again 🙂

Capt. Zaki, as usual, preparing today’s lesson

GodFather Captain busy with the Gizwits 😀

Oh wow, this kid really got a style 😀

And this one always hide behind something 😀

LOL! 😀

Capt. Cinta assisting Mail

Friday’s Prayer break

We created some games apps and play 😀

or listening to music

Or just checking up handphone

After the break, Capt. Zaki explained about the calculator

With Capt. Cinta navigating the screen

Yep, it works 😉

In two days, kids gots lots of new apps on their smartphones

Capt. Zaki and Capt. Cinta, always love to see kids in teamwork 😉 ❤

Zahra and Icha

Ara

Edo and Thoriq

Ozan (and Capt. Fizhan)

Farrell and Mail

Rheino

Fayza

Fadhlan

Nadhira

Tian

After all kids got the app worked, we call it a day!

Will create more apps tomorrow! 😉

 

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

Capt. Zaki preparing the lessons today

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

Ara

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 Coding Camp – Python Programming – Day #3

The last day! We learned to create virus, and the antivirus of course! 😀

Before we learn how to create virus, we have to learn how to write to and read from a file 🙂

We also have learn how to find files in directory

or finding a specific file

Then we can start create the virus

The virus is not dangerous, basically it just makes a copy of itself to another file, and only .py files 🙂 The antivirus is simply deleting the virus body from the infected file

We also created an encryption virus using a simple substitution cipher

The antivirus is simply reversing the process which is decrypting using substitution cipher 🙂

Some kids arrived late so we waited a bit before starting the class

The class (only missing one kid who didn’t feel so well today)

Each piece of code is being tested. This is the view of Capt. Zaki laptop’s screen.

Lots of code needs debugging, Capt. Zaki handles two computers at the same time 😀

Busy captains

We finally finished all the codes!

So it’s a wrap! 🙂

Tomorrow we will learn how to create apps for android 🙂

This is us on the way home, fully packed on the back seat LOL

Until tomorrow! 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Python Programming – Day #2

Today we learn about cryptography 😉

We started with substitution cipher 🙂

We did encryption and decryption, and brute force too 😉

We modified the code and added some while loop

And there was a quiz to be solved 😀

Next was Vigenere Cipher, a bit harder but we did it 😀

We did encryption and decryption in Vigenere, and modify it from uppercase to lowercase

We read several references too to make sure we understand how it works 😉

ProCodeCG Kids don’t just code, they read books too 😉

This is the scene in the morning 🙂 We prepare the class together, and this is the values being taught in ProCodeCG: teamwork and sharing 🙂

Capt. Zaki explained the brute force process

Our Lead Captain is very reliable 🙂

Capt. Azriel working on modifying the encryption code too 🙂

This one is too tired LOL

But we will be alive and kicking again tomorrow to learn how to make virus and antivirus in Python tomorrow! 🙂

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Python Programming – Day #1

ProCodeCG Kids Coding Camp – Python Programming – Day #1 🙂

Today we learned about basic Python: turtle, looping (for and while), conditionals (if), input and output and functions 🙂

This is how the registration looked like in the morning. Capt. Syahna was busy checking on the students list 🙂

Some kids had arrived but most hadn’t so we waited

More kids coming in. We have 16 kids in this class

Capt. Faris (in the middle) helped installing Python to each kid’s laptop

Capt. Azriel installing Python to Fauzan’s

We had the Godfather Captain, Capt. BR visiting the class today 🙂

Capt. Zaki, Capt Azriel and Farrell giving examples about how to add colors to turtle

They got so much idea 😀

Ok so these are the kids in the class:

Jihan

Faiz

Ryan

Emil

Rafsan

Fauzan

Edo

Thoriq

Ronggur and Diaz

Zahra and Icha

And this is Capt. Zaki collaborates with Capt. Azriel finding the answers of the challenges they gave themselves 😀

Capt. BR helped too 🙂

In ProCodeCG class, an eligible Captain is allowed to teach the class. While Capt. Azriel demoing the code, Capt. Zaki was making sure the code is right 🙂

This is one of our turtle practice today: drawing a face 😀

As the lead captain, Capt. Zaki has to make sure the code works

He also explores more codes to be presented to the class

Python Programming is probably a bit difficult compared to Java Programming with Greenfoot, but everybody was having fun today! 🙂

This one jumped from his seat just because he didn’t want to be photographed LOL

This one too 😀

Ronggur being interviewed by Capt. Fizhan

We’re going to release the video very soon! 🙂

See you tomorrow 🙂

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

Vai

Ronggur

Jaka

Our lead captain: Capt. Zaki busy navigating the screen

Aqeel

Front row: Dika, Kyntar and Fadly

Joji

A closer look of Kyntar and that surprised look of Fadly 😀

Capt. Syahna

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! 😉
