Coding course by KidBright

By

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 signal to kid bright and it will do what it says. You can buy a switch and a led light bulb to code with, but you will need another component for that. The next day we advanced it a bit, we could send messages or signals to another kid bright or turn on the light bulb. The next day we had to do a group project it was about what we could do with the kid bright in our houses? That what was we did the whole entire day trying to build our model for the presentation. Also kid bright was used to inspire children to learn computer programming. On their smartphones, tablets or computers. Children could use kid bright to learn the basics of programming and also extending their creativity.

Kid bright is from the NECTEC (National Electronics and Computer Technology Center) from Thailand. Kid bright is also pretty similar to the Microbit in the UK. Microbit can pretty much do the same thing as kid bright. Like they both have LED lights and both have buttons to command and make a game out of, but Microbit doesn't have a temperature sensor, a light level sensor or a speaker. Microbit does have a shaking command too it unlike kid bright and it is smaller as well. Fun fact NECTEC delivered 200,000 kid bright boards to schools nationwide. They are going to deliver more than 1,000 public schools last year in July. Anyways that is all for today thanks for reading bye!

How to make a countdown number - Kidbright

By
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

making a video for my school project

By
Hello everyone! Today I will talk about Cooking! So the title might sound a bit off, but my school has this project for everyone in the school to do it is called "English Zone". So my computer teacher said that we had to make a cooking video also one more thing about the English Zone project it's that we HAVE to speak in English like no absolute Thai at all anyways. So I made a cooking video cause my teacher said so I made a video on how to make Yorkshire pudding. Yorkshire pudding is a dish that is from the U.K. There are many recipes on how to make Yorkshire pudding I used a recipe that used olive oil and less flour. It didn't turn out well or taste well..... ANYWAYS!! At least I made the video! The video was the most important. the ingredients in order to make Yorkshire pudding is flour, milk, eggs, salt and olive oil if you want to make look it up. So anyways it is hard to make it though. You can eat this with steak, fries, coffee and etc. It's easy to make an
