Hi Parents and Kids! Do you want to be a programmer in the future? Let's go to have your first programming project! In the class, you will just think like a programmer to plan a project and design "Algorithm". In the 8-week class, you will know how to do digital drawing, animation and game design and create your own ones! Are you ready?! Let's go and have some fun to be a programmer! ＊No background knowledge needed! Teaching in English! [Course Activity]: Kids will learn the computational thinking skills through completing programming projects. For example, drawing geometries to learn the repetitive patterns in programming. There are three kinds of projects in the class, digital drawing, animation and game. We will use the project-based materials in Code.org. [Course Concepts] (1) Basic algorithmic thinking skills: Sequence, Parameter, Loop, Conditional(if-else), Event, Variable. (2) Basic game design: game characters, rules, flows and backgrounds. (3) Digital drawing: simple [Syllabus] (Week 1) The secret of programming - What is Algorithm? (Week 2) Digital Drawing Project(I) :Instruction and Parameter (Week 3) Digital Drawing Project(II) :Loop (Week 4) Animation Project :Event and Character Control (Week 5) Game Project(I) :Background and Character Design (Week 6) Game Project(II) :Game Rules Design- Interaction (Week 7) Game Project(III) : Game Rules Design- Win or Lose (Week 8) Game Project Presentation
Learning Goals
(1) Student will learn the basic computational thinking skills(Sequence, Parameter, Loop, Conditional(if-else), Event, Variable).
(2) Student will learn how to plan and program simple digital works, such as digital drawing and games.
(3) Student will learn the basic game design method.Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will use Google Slide and Code.org website for delivering course contents and conducting student projects.
The account of Code.org is required to save kids' project progress.
Google account is recommended for access course materials.

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！
