| Introduction to Programming with Python (Python 编程简介) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
This class is an introductory course on computer programming designed for beginner middle school and high school students. The course will teach the fundamentals of programming by learning the Python programming language. The goal is to get the students interested and excited about programming, and to turn them from a consumer of technology to a producer by teaching them the skills they need to solve fun and interesting problems as well as create their own games and applications. This class will be very interactive - students will be building their own games for each other to play, and we will have a lot of fun activities such as competitions, coding races, and project showcases. This class is suitable for students in grades 6 - 11 and having basic Algebra I knowledge regarding variables and equations is necessary to be able to understand the concepts presented in this class. No prior computer science or programming knowledge is required to take this course. It is taught in English. Jerry Li is an UCLA Computer Science graduate who is currently working full-time as a software engineer. He has been tutoring and teaching courses on programming and competitive mathematics to students of all grade levels for over 10 years. Jerry also has participated in and organized numerous mathematics and computer science clubs, competitions, and events throughout high school and college, including leading the UCLA International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) club as President, and qualifying for the ICPC World Finals in 2017. In his free time, Jerry enjoys playing board games, origami, and badminton. |

| Lego Robotics Programming Beginner (乐高机器人入门) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lego Robotics Programming (乐高机器人) Lego Robotics will teach core computer programming logic and reasoning skills using a robotics engineering context. It provides hands on activities on structured sequence of programming in a real-world environment. Materials: 1. SPIKE Prime LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Set or MINDSTORMS EV3 LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Core Set 2. Windows PC or Mac PC (Tablet can be used in beginner class only, as the advanced commands not available in iPad or Android Tablet) 3. Purchase link for LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Set https://education.lego.com/en-us/products/lego-education-spike-prime-set/45678#spike%E2%84%A2-prime 4. It is noted that EV3 is retired, thus sets cannot be purchased directly from Lego. Important Note: The material mandated in this class is quite expensive. Students are required to obtain own material. This set is intended to be used for many years to come if student maintains interest in this area. This material's cost is about 400 + tax for base set, $100 for expansion set. Each set is designed to be used by 2 students. It is also ok to be shared among 3 students, but with longer waiting period for taking turns. Students registered to this class is encouraged to find own sharing buddy for the material purchase and work out material dividing at the end of school. *** If you wish CACC School to help finding you a sharing mate, we will be happy to do so. Please email to cs@caccusa.org About the teacher: Mr. Ye has more than 30 years software engineering experience. He is an expert in Lego Robotics Programming. He has taught the lego mindstorms programming for many years, and has guided students to First Lego League competition since 2010. This course is offered at 3 levels : Lego Robotics Programming Beginner, Advanced, and Lego Robotics / First Lego League Competition Lego Robotics/Beginner programming This class will teach basic concepts of programming using commands and sequence of commands. There are about 10 projects over the school year. Each project will use robot to demo one mission. These projects are designed to train students thinking about the patterns and structures. Students are not required to have any prior Lego Robotic experience |

This course will be a student-led, two-hour hands-on class. Two to ten students will form a team and register for the current season of the First Lego League competition. Students will use their knowledge and experience to identify a world-class issue based on a given theme, then conduct research to present a solution. Students will design, build, and program their own robot to take on the competition's missions. Students will practice and learn the fundamentals of the First Lego League contest. FLL will release the competition's theme in May. Students need to start to work on project assignments during the summer. Besides the class, each team needs to have a self-organized meeting for another two hours after class. Any lego robotic set made by Lego (such as: Lego Mindstorms Education EV3 Core Set/Expansion set; Lego Education SPKIE Prime set/Expansion set etc.) can be used in competition. As only one robot will be allowed during competition, the team need make a decision to use SPIKE or EV3, |
