Let's talk about children's programming today. Now many primary schools have begun to recommend children to learn artificial intelligence children's programming courses, what are the content of these courses?
Children's programming is very different from adult programming, because it is difficult for children to understand complex code, so children's programming tools often have a graphical interface. Here are two products.
This is one of the children's programming websites that opens, this interface is very friendly for children because it uses elements such as cartoon characters and buttons to help children understand. I took a brief look at the software and wrote a few random lines of code, for example adding an event here where when the button is clicked, the little cartoon character moves 10 steps and turns 15 degrees left.
If you want to build such a project yourself, you can search on GitHub, I found a project, after opening the official website, you can download the open source version, deploy to your own server to build a similar children's programming website.
This interface is similar to another product, so most of the current children's programming products have similar interfaces, all graphical operation, some functions may be different, such as motion or events, and some products may be more or less.
Current AI children's programming incorporates elements of artificial intelligence, but it is different from the artificial intelligence that adults are familiar with. The field of artificial intelligence for adults involves various languages, Python, Java and other algorithms, while the artificial intelligence of children's programming is mainly to let children understand artificial intelligence, involving face recognition, voice recognition and other aspects. This product is more for children to learn children's programming, rather than artificial intelligence. I think these products are interesting and can exercise children's thinking skills and logical thinking skills. If you want to try it, you can teach your child how to do it.
