LEGO Mindstorms EV3 – Programming with microPython
IntroductionEV3 has a Linux computer at its heart and can be programmed using several other programming systems such as Python, C++, Java or EV3 Basic. Running these more advanced programming languages allows you to get your EV3 robot to do things that would not be possible with the standard EV3 programming system, such as making a drawing robot that uses EV3 Python. In addition to empowering you to write programs that can do things that cannot be achieved with the standard icon-based EV3 programming system, another great reason to learn EV3 Python is that EV3 Python is a textual programming language, the kind professional programmers use. Learning a textual programming language (especially Python) can boost your career prospects enormously, whereas learning to program the EV3 with the standard icon-based system will have much less value professionally. |

3D Modelling & PrintingIntroductionImagine if you can create anything you dream of. Every artist, sculptor, and designer knows the magic of creation begins from the moment an idea takes root. Kids are chockfull of ideas, but ideas can only go so far. Imagine what happens if we empower them with a tool they can use to turn ideas into reality? 3D modelling translates an idea into a computer-aided design before a 3D printer takes the design and prints, adding materials layer by layer to form a shape. Creating something has never been easier; it’s almost magic! From printing your very own toys to a colourful model house shaped like a dinosaur – the only limit is your imagination. |

Mobile App Development
IntroductionDo you have an idea? Build an app and transform your idea into reality. Coding (also called programming or developing) tells a computer, app, phone or website what you want it to do. MIT App Inventor is an innovative beginner’s introduction to programming and app creation that transforms the complex language of text-based coding into visual, drag-and-drop building blocks. The simple graphical interface grants even an inexperienced novice ability to create a basic, fully functional app within an hour or less. Promoting computer science education – Learning to code prepares kids for the world we live in today. There are tons of jobs and occupations that use the code directly, like web designers, software developers, and robotics engineers, and even more where knowing how to code is a huge asset—jobs in manufacturing, nanotechnology or information sciences. Learning To Code Develops Problem Solving And Computational Thinking Skills – The skills that come with computer programming help kids develop new ways of thinking and foster problem-solving techniques that can have big repercussions in other areas. |
