Class Experience

Welcome to the 40mins Trial Class to introduce Computer Science Thinking.
Jumping out the thought "computer science equals to programming", kids will become a thinker to understand how a technology can be useful, be structured and be designed.
The class will lead kids to see digital technologies in three thinking perspectives, including  (1)Computational Thinking, (2) System Design和(3)Design Thinking.
This is a discussion class encouraging kids to share ideas and passions!
No background knowledge needed!

Learning Goals

1. Students will experience Computational Thinking perspectives to implement a digital product
2. Students will experience System Design perspectives to structure and create a digital product
3.Students will experience Design Thinking perspectives to design a digital product.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! Kids and parents!
Let's start a journey to discover the secrets of technology!

I am a Taiwanese Educator, who studied in computer science, UX design and education (learning skills & curriculum design). 
I would like to help kids learn CS with design perspectives rather than coding. 
Jumping out the thought of "CS skill = Coding", kids will be a thinker, such as a product designer or a software engineer, then use their passions and  creativities to design technologies.
The main topics include 
(1) Computational Thinking: how CS engineers solve problems, plan a program and design algorithms.
(2)System Design: learn the structures, components and design patterns of different digital products
(3)Design Thinking: design useful digital products by learning users' needs, behaviors patterns and environment characteristics.

My teaching features:
1. Kids will be asked to be an active thinker and doer to make and share their own artifacts. 
2. Kids will collaborate with peers in interactive games and small projects together.

Both English and Chinese courses are offered!

Hi 家長與孩子們!一起展開一場科技探索之旅吧!
Eva是跨域於CS以及使用者體驗的教育家!專精於資訊工程、課程設計與使用者經驗研究

在這裡,Eva用「設計的觀點」帶領孩子認識科技,不同於以往「寫程式」的概念,孩子將成為一個能主動思考"產品設計"和“程式設計“的思考家!
課程將帶領孩子以下角度思考:
1. Computational Thinking 運算思維:認識工程師如何解決問題,設計演算法並且應用於程式之中
2. System Design 系統設計:認識科技產品的設計架構和元件,並透過此架構創作自己的科技設計
3. Design Thinking 設計思考:透過了解使用者需求、行為以及環境情境,來設計出真正有用的科品產品

課程特色:
• 在課程裡,學生能保留本身對科技最大的熱情,探索他們最好奇的科技產品,並且嘗試用自己的創意做設計!
• 課程中也包含大量互動遊戲以及小組專案,能幫助孩子們有更好的溝通、合作以及分享能力
• 中文與英文課程皆有開放!
