THINK SPACE B2S at Central Festival Eastville

Hello everyone today I will be talking about Central Festival Eastville. If you didn't know Central Festival Eastville is a mall and has a lot of places to buy stuff. So I went there with my dad because he had a meeting there with some people and we had some lunch as well I tried the truffles and the mac and cheese there. Though I think I kinda wanna try and make my own truffles now! Anyways I looked around and we went to the Food section. I mean I call it the food section because there you can buy a lot of food and there are different type of food there is dessert, bread and many more! I wanted to look around more, but we couldn't and we quickly went to the THINK SPACE section. A kingdom for book and stationery lovers... It is a book store and is very quiet. though I must say also of the stuff there was a bit expensive for the things that weren't the books of course. It is a large book store that looks very wide, designed with space to walk around, explore and read a bu

Microbit dice

Hello everyone today I will be talking about a Microbit tutorial. Not a kid bright one, but it's a Microbit one. So first up you must go into the website and start coding. First, get the on shake block underneath that get a new variable and name it "dice" get the set "dice to block. Then get a pick random block and set it to 0-5. The number 0 actually counts so 0-5 will = 1-6. Next, get the if-else block and click the + button 4 times you will see it when you do it. Next, get the variable of dice and put it in the if in every single one of them and put the 0-5 in every single one of them so the first one is 0 next is 1 and so on. Next, just draw every single picture on what you want that number to look like as a picture for the screen its only a 5x5 LED screen so it is a small screen. Anyways that is all pretty simple, but works nicely! That's all bye!

What is a Microbit?

Hello everyone today I will be talking about a coding board the Microbit. This coding board is from the U.K. It is pretty much a Europe version of the kid bright and smaller. So let me explain the Microbit is really small and only has a few LED lights and 3 buttons though there are a few advantages and disadvantages for the Microbit. Let's start with the advantages first.  So the Microbit is a lot smaller than the kid bright and since it is a lot smaller than the kid bright it can be used as a wearable watch. Since it is smaller than the kid bright it doesn't mean that it can do less things than the kid bright. They both can do multiple things and are both very similar. Like for example, they both have a LED screen and they both have 3 buttons. The Microbit can be able to play on the website so you don't have to download anything unlike the kid bright. The kid bright does have a simulator though. There are free tutorials on the website or the app on how to make codes a

Multitask Kidbright USB and Temp

Hello everyone today I will be talking about another kid bright thing it will be about a Multitask in kid bright so let's start! So how can you do a multitask? WELL, you can do a multitask if you get the Task from the advance and rename it to the certain task you want it to do. You have to rename it so that the board will know which command is which. So you can pretty much do a bunch of things with this thing. Anyways let's just start so the first thing you will need is, of course, the task block and we are going to make 2 tasks, but you can do how many you want, but I am going to make 2 task. So next you put in the forever block. So the first task I am going to make is a USB task and another is the Temp task. So I will start with the USB ask first. So first you will get the if do block and the 1 switch pressed block from logic. Then get the write USB status (on) block. Then do the same thing but get a switch 2 pressed block and make the write USB status (off). That is one task

Show current date,time and temperature with Kidbright.

Hello everyone today I will be talking about another tutorial for kid bright. This one is about the current date, time and temperature. So let's just start first up you need a forever block. Next, a LED 16x8 scroll block and put a date block from the clock and put a wait LED matrix ready block underneath that. Next, do the same thing except put a time block at the scroll LED. Next, do the same thing ANOTHER time except put a temperature sensor in the scroll LED. Next, if you want you can put a delay in each of them, but I didn't do that. This is really easy to do really. Anyways that is all for today bye!

How to make a countdown number - Kidbright

Hello everyone! Today I will be talking about how to make a countdown number in Kid-Bright. You might not know what I will be talking about, I had to write about this so let's just start! First, go to the software and drag the forever block and get the set to block as well. You don't have to change it, but you can if you want. Get the LED 2 chars block and put the block that lets you print or tell what to say not literally, but just like tells you what it is trying to tell you or speak to you or something. So anyways you write what you want on the block and then get the if do block and the = block. Next, get the switch 1 block from the sensor topic and the number block from the math topic. Next, get the repeat (while) block from the loop topic. Get the = block and 1 number block and change it to 0 and the X block in Math. Get another set x to block and a + block from math and another x and number block. Get the LED 2 chars block and put ANOTHER x block and last, but not

When the sensor is dark, let the USB work

Hello everyone today I will be talking about another tutorial with Kid bright again so when it is dark you can turn on the light, fan or other stuff on. So let's begin first you need a forever block and a set x to block. You can change it. It doesn't really matter. So next you get the light level sensor from the sensor. Next, you put a LED 16x8 2 chars block underneath it. Next a delay 0.5 block underneath that. Now you get an if do else block from logic. In the if you get a = block and change it to a < symbol. Next, you get an X block at the front and a number block at the back you can change it to 30-50. I did 50 because why not? At do you get an LED 16x8 scroll block and you get a print block. You can change the word to when it is dark you want it to say this on the screen. Next, get a write USB (on) block from the I/O and next a delay block set to 3.5 or 3. At the else do the same thing except change the word in there for when it is day time you want it to say this w

Robots are cool

Hello everyone today I will be talking about robots. Robots are cool. Just saying, but most people don't think robots are cool. Which I kinda agree robots can be a lot of things like for example they can be helpful, they can help you do chores or make things a lot more convenient. Like google home or Alexa these 2 robots can do similar things, but are from different companies. They can activate by saying something like "Hey Alexa" or "ok google". Then you can say like "turn off the lights" or "turn off the TV". Which at my house we have google home so it is pretty convenient. There are also robots that are humanoid and can help or entertain like for example Alpha pro. It can dance or teach you things it can also play football. There are also Jimu robot so you can learn and build your own robots yourself and play with it. There are also robots for specific things like robots in a warehouse or robots for a hotel. There is this hotel in Jap

Coding a Coin Flipper - Kidbright

Hello everyone today I am doing another tutorial for kid bright again. I know I know it might be a bit boring, but my dad told me to write about it so yeah. Anyways the way I did this was my way there totally are other ways to make a coin flipper, but this was the easiest way I did, so let's just start. First, you get the set x to block you don't have to change it. , but you do have to get a random integer and you have to change it to 0-2. Why 2? I don't know my coding teacher from the coding course program used 2 and it worked. Next, is get the forever block and next is the if do else block. Put a = block then get an x block and a number block from math. So next you can literally do anything you want in the do of the if, but I just drew pictures. Next is get another LED drawing block again and do the just draw whatever you want for tails. When you are done it will look similar to the picture in the blog. Anyways that is all for today bye! One more thing you can actually ma

How to animate a heart in Kidbright

Hello everyone today I will talk about animating a heart in KidBright. You might not understand what I am going to talk about and stuff, but my dad told me I just had to write about this. Even though I know most of my viewers aren't people who usually do coding, but hey why not talk about the topic that I HAD  to write about shall we? Anyways so let's just start. First up you go to the app and then start. Get the forever block and the LED drawing block and draw a heart. Then get the delay block and I recommend to change it to 0.1 because it will look a lot  smoother . Then keep on expanding it until it is just gone Then just make a smaller heart when the old heart is about to be gone from existence. Then when it is totally gone from existence you just make the new heart a bit bigger and that is it! You have a brand new heart that is not gone from existence, but then when it is like 1 or 2 seconds later it is going to be totally gone from existence again, but then a bra

Coding course by KidBright

Hello everyone today I will talk about what I had to do during the first week of the weekends. It is a bummer and all to do work on a month with no school and work, but I have to do it. Let me explain, so my dad asked me in the car if I wanted to do some courses I said okay, but didn't really agree. I am the type of person that says okay to a lot of things. So my dad took me to a coding course that was okay. They gave us free food and cool robotic stuff to learn coding with, which was okay for me. So on the first day, I came and we did some activities to start off within the mourning. Next, we just did the basics of coding like how to flip a coin or pick a random number from 1 to 100. Stuff like that for example. Next, we were introduced to kid bright. Kid bright is a type of coding thing that you can code things to do. It was a temperature sensor, a light level sensor, a speaker and some led lights to draw pictures on. So we can animate in the computer or laptop and send that s

it's the weekends!

Hello everyone! Today I will be talking about the holidays! I know the Title says weekends, but weekends and holidays are pretty similar don't you think? Anyways today I was thinking of doing the Inktober challenge. It is a challenge for artists to draw something new or scary every day in October. Being in an Asia country has its benefits but also some downers as well, for example, there is no snow in Thailand (this is my opinion by the way), no Europe holidays which is kind of a bummer, to be honest. I love Europe holidays. Thailand's Holidays aren't really that great, but my favourite holiday in Thailand is Songkran day. It is because you get very refreshed during the day. You can also fight with other people with water guns or water balloons. I mean it is October with Halloween and all of those spooky things in Europe that we don't have in Thailand. I miss trick or treating when I was a kid, but they don't celebrate Halloween or Christmas in Thailand. Which is ki
