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!

Interland - Be Internet Awesome from Google

By
Hello everyone! It is me Focus and today I will be talking about Interland from Google! You might be confused about what Interland is. So Interland is a game that was created by Google to let kids play. The game teaches about the internet.  Interland - Be Internet Awesome  There are 4 stages. The first stage teaches you that we need to be nice to everyone on the internet and that we should learn who are the bullies and who are the innocent. The second stage is about information on the internet. We should know which news are lies and which are true. We can't let our selves be deceived by the fake news on the internet! Don't just trust what everything on the internet is true! We must know which is true and fake. The third stage is about who we should share our information about on the internet, for example, your location of where you know you should send it to your friends and family, not the public. There is also information about your number, ID number and sec...

Some news about school!

By
Hello everyone! It's Focus and today I will be talking about some news about schools in Thailand. It might sound boring I know, but it's at least some news because schools were cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yesterday the school called and said that they will open on the 1st of July. So here we are I told my friend Andy and he said that he knew and that we will get the outfit and books at around the 11th this month I think. I didn't actually know when I had to get my outfit and books because my Mom only told me the date when school will open. Also that I got in the INTER program or international program (hooray!). Andy said that maybe I will have to get the outfit and books on the same date. So I then asked my Mom and apparently its not the same date. I have to get my books and outfit on the 21st this month. I was confused why It wasn't the same date until my Mom told me since I was in the INTER program the outfit and the books are not the same. I then aske...
