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!

Happy (late) Mother's day!

By
Hello everyone! It's me Focus and today I will be talking about Mother's day! Well, I forgot to write about Mother's day yesterday, but here I am! At least I didn't forget it completely! So Happy Mother's Day to everyone! I hope you all had/have a great Mother's day yesterday! So today, of course, is on the Topic of mothers!  Everyone has Mother's right? I mean you can't be born unless you have a Mother, but there are also other kinds of parents. Like Adopted parents. If you don't have parents then, of course, you have Adopted or Stepparents. No matter what a mother is someone who cares for you dearly no matter if they are family-related or not. I care and love my Mom a lot and she loves me too. You know that thing like Mother's instinct? Yeah never mess with Mother's especially if it's a wild animal. That is just a heads up. Anyways I'm sure a lot of people love their Moms some don't. Either way, we must be together with our fami...

 Hello everyone! It is me Focus and today I will be talking about me losing my phone at IKEA. Don't worry I got it back. So me and my mom went shopping to IKEA. We ate lunch then went to the maze that you call IKEA. Me being me went to sit on every small  armchair. Okay not just the small sized ones. Everytime I sait on an armchair I would do this villian pose just to be silly. My goal was to creep everyone out and to also cheer my mom up because I noticed she was a bit sad. Which worked, but of course something dreadful happned. I LOST MY PHONE. Now It wouldn't haven been so bad except It was  bad. I noticed that my phone was gone right when we were about to leave IKEA. We immedietly went back inside and searched for the areas that I sat at. We decided to call my dad and he said that he could turn on the noise for 5 mintues since I also muted my phone. Then he told me a worker at IKEA found it  and us to go to the control room. My mom also forgot to buy somethings s...

Why do we need to know our future?

By
Hello everyone! It's me Focus and today I will be talking about the "future". So when you are a kid or something people will always ask or expect "what kind of job do you want to do in the future?" stuff like that. I usually get asked what I want to be when I grow up. So I do what a regular kid would do think what I want to be when I grow up, but in reality, I don't really know what I want to be when I grow up. I mean I kinda know what kind of job I want somewhere in the technical/ business field, but I still don't know what specific  job I want. I mostly do research on what kind of jobs there are in the world and let me tell you there are a lot  of jobs there are in the world. Most kids choose a popular day to day jobs like doctors, policemen, etc, but there are even more jobs out there in the world like freelancers or detectives, etc. So I mostly try and find more suitable jobs for me. When you are young and a friend who is also young asked what you wa...
