【Product Specifications】 ISBN NO: 9786269546015 Series: AI Science Creative Play Series Specifications: Thread-bound / 54 pages / 22 x 23 x 1.2 cm / General Audience / Full Color Publication Location: Taiwan 【Product Introduction】 As renowned NASA scientist Katherine Johnson once said, "Do your research, ask questions, find your passion, and then go for it. Always stay curious!" In this era of rapid technological advancement, cultivating children's adaptability to a fast-changing environment and nurturing them into lifelong learners is paramount. This has given rise to the latest educational literacy – STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics). Grounded in children's daily lives, this series guides them from exploring cross-disciplinary knowledge and principles to forming hypotheses, then verifying them through computer programming, thereby developing logical thinking and internalizing learning outcomes. With a charming and engaging style, it presents scientific principles in an accessible manner, allowing young readers to acquire new knowledge, engage in hands-on coding, and cultivate essential skills for the new era. 【Sample Chapters】 Science Magnifier: 〈Why Do We Have Day and Night?〉 Normally, when we stand on the ground, although the earth appears still, it is constantly rotating from west to east. As the Earth rotates, people facing the sun experience daytime, while those on the opposite side experience nighttime. One complete rotation of the Earth constitutes "one day," taking approximately 24 hours. Algorithms and Computational Thinking: 〈Mainboard "Xiao Pai" and PyCode〉 Just as the brain is the control center of the human body, the mainboard controls the operation of the entire computer and is one of its most crucial components. Patchy also has an internal mainboard – "Xiao Pai" – which not only directs Patchy's actions but can also control external LED lights. By using "PyCode" to communicate with Xiao Pai, we can experiment with various algorithms and illuminate our room! PyCode is a graphical "programming language" (instructions used to communicate with computers), resembling colorful puzzle pieces. By assembling different blocks according to rules, we can make Xiao Pai achieve the effects we desire. 【Foreword】 Embracing the Future with AI: AI Now, Leaders Tomorrow By: Jerry Chao, General Manager of Hsun-Ju Technology "AI Education" is the first step in cultivating children's AI literacy. "AI," or "Artificial Intelligence," is no longer science fiction in modern society; it's an integral part of our daily lives. Children encounter AI products every day. Therefore, learning how to think and subsequently teaching computers to operate akin to human thought is not only a core skill for future generations but also a primary objective of Taiwan's Curriculum Guideline 108 for the technology domain. As Apple founder Steve Jobs once said, "Everybody should learn to program a computer because it will teach you how to think." To prepare children and confidently welcome the AI era, Mu Chuan Culture has brought together resources from the technology, education, and publishing sectors to specially create a locally developed AI education brand for students in Taiwan: "AI Education." The "AI Science Creative Play" series not only adheres to the international STEAM education principles of "interdisciplinary" and "hands-on experimentation," aiming to let children experience the joy of "learning by doing," but also uses meticulously designed everyday scenarios as a guide to introduce AI, nature, and humanities in an easy-to-understand manner. This allows children to effortlessly and comfortably acquire new knowledge through reading. I wholeheartedly recommend the "AI Science Creative Play" series to you, believing it will bring you and your child a truly unique parent-child experience! Let us lead our children to understand AI together, ensuring they are not left behind on the global digital stage!
