20160524 Science Class:  Introduction to Apple/Carrot Peeling Machine Design Science with DIY Science Projects

Kids looked at how an automatic peeler works.  They tried to make a model of a peeling machine.  Most kids found that the motors they have used are not strong enough to support spinning the apply or the carrot.  But there was a cute video of Nile's working!

John Wilkins (AKA JohnAlbin) has given a few talks at the DrupalCon New Orleans 2016.  He did a BoF on Zen theme in Drupal 8, he also gave a detailed talk on front-end development.  If you have missed it, here is the link:

For these two weeks, kids worked on an elephant robot. It is supposed to walk without wheels.

First week progress:

Front-end workshop - Style Guide Centric Development and Task Runners
第三堂前端開發工作坊要在05/06晚上7:00開課了(有其他需要的時間，請跟jenny@albin.net聯絡)，這也是這一系列的最後一堂課，大家把握機會，有問題的(跟Zen theme 有關，跟前端開發有關，etc。)，都可以帶來問。

After the science class, Owen took hom the magnifying glass and started making it into a pair of VRglass.  I used it to watch a 360 VR clip and had a great time with it!

討論 Twig 及 Drupal 8

探索噴射推進的科學 & 動手設計製作噴射推進科學實驗作品 (Introduction to Jet Propulsion Science with DIY Jet Propulsion Science Projects)

For this week's morning and afternoon closing class. We created animations for a space ship and floating monkeys. The kids learned to use loops and how to change the Sprite over time.

In today's coding class we started on a motorcycle robot. It will use the gyroscopic sensor to keep itself balanced on 2 wheels.  All they had for instructions was a video showing a working Lego motorcycle. No build instructions and no programming instructions.
