In this rapidly changing technology In the era, to cultivate children to adapt to the rapidly changing environment and become learners who are constantly self-enriching, the latest educational literacy ─ ─ STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) came into being. This series of products is based on children's daily life, starting from exploring cross-domain knowledge and principles, step by step to accompany children to formulate hypotheses, and then to use computer programming to verify, and then develop logical thinking and internalize learning results. In a cute and interesting style, it shows the principles of life science in simple language, so that young readers can learn new knowledge, program by themselves, and cultivate the key skills for the new era. 【Content Trial】 colorful holly festival The celebration of Holi Day comes from an old story: Holika, the banshee, was ordered by the king to lure the devout prince into the flames and burn him to death. The prince finally got the blessing of the gods and successfully escaped from the flames, and Hou Lika was burned to ashes. Therefore, on the eve of the Holi Festival, people will set up a fire, put combustible materials such as wood, as well as straw figures or paper cards that symbolize the banshee into the fire, and sing and dance around the fire. On the day of the Holi Festival, the most representative event is the celebration of people splashing each other, applying colorful paints and powders. Get to know PyCode In order for a computer to execute instructions, it is necessary to learn a language that the computer can understand. PyCode is a programming tool tailored for children based on Blockly developed by Google. It is also the enlightenment foundation for children to learn Python, allowing children to easily start a dialogue with the computer through block instructions. 【Recommended order】 Zhong Ruya│Fuli Middle School Information Team Leader Are school-aged children suitable for programming? How to guide them to write programs? With the rapid development of information technology, we can no longer stop children from early exposure to technology products. Therefore, it is imperative to cultivate the ability of computational thinking, programming logic, and problem solving from an early age. "Festival Kaleidoscope" is a book suitable for parents and children to do together, and also a teaching book suitable for children in elementary, middle and senior grades to DIY independently. The book begins with the Xiaobo family's participation in Christmas activities and understanding of Christmas customs, and extends to introduce festivals around the world, such as Holi in India, Lunar New Year in East Asia, Ramadan in Islam, and Halloween in Europe and the United States. In addition to explaining the origins and customs of each festival, so that children can understand different religious beliefs and cultures and their uniqueness, more importantly, the books are equipped with practical modules, parents and children can follow the installation steps in the book, easy, happy and safe. Complete the Christmas tree by hand, and then use the motherboard to write a simple program to light up your own bright Christmas tree. I am a middle school IT teacher and a mother of a school-aged child. There are few pages in the book, and it is very easy to understand. Through the graphical programming interface and simple examples, it guides children to understand basic programming concepts such as "looping" and "setting time", so that children can easily learn programming and develop their own creativity. and a good book for learning programming. Lin Yousheng│Jilin Elementary School Information Teacher In recent years, there has been a trend of "hour of code" all over the world. It is expected that children's creativity, logical operation and self-learning ability can be inspired through the one-hour learning program activity. In addition, the information courses in the primary school also attach great importance to programming education, extending from Scratch down to the unplugged courses in the lower grades. Children can learn logic through simple practice or course activities in the classroom. . However, not all instructional designs are compatible with children's life experience and abilities, and with the limited number of lessons, children often only get a preliminary enlightenment in school. The book "Festival Kaleidoscope" can help parents easily lead their children to understand the world of programming language in the process of parent-child learning together. "Festival Kaleidoscope" takes the story as the starting point, not only brings children to understand foreign cultures, but also extends a series of interesting program challenges from the flashing rhythm of Christmas lights that excite children the most. When children create their own lighting projects, they can not only experience the hands-on process, but also enjoy the fun of being a "maker" and become a little maker. Technology always comes from human nature, but human needs are the driving force for self-learning. Learning programming languages has always been a difficult subject for students. In the process of learning, learning will be more motivated only through things related to children's lives. I hope that every child can experience achievement and fun in the process of learning.
