Language Plus Living Space

Kids learned about oil and water separation.  They also experiemented centrifuge force!

We talked about recycling and how to clean up the Earth.  Kids made their own ocean cleanup device!  探討了如何保持地球的乾淨，和人類要如何多做回收再利用的一堂課，孩子還自己做了海洋垃圾回收器具!

In this week's coding class we discussed program threads and how Lego Mindstorms software allows kids to create multi-threaded programming.  The kids finished building the Znap robot from instructions and then started programming it with only the rough outline that was written on the board as a guide. They need to use multiple loops, variables, and a new loop interrupt instruction.

這星期我們探討了電腦程式裡的multi-threading功能，利用Lego Mindstorms的程式設計軟體，孩子們練習了multiple loops, variables, 還有 loop interrupt。

Scrach是由麻省理工學院開發，專門為為8歲到小六孩子孩子們設計的學習電腦程式設計

語言家特別在春季推出Hour of Code:  學習電腦設計及英文的社團，在設計中學習，不斷的啟發思考能力

由世界級資深前端工程師，John Wilkins，擔任主要講師/Club Master

從Scracth 開始，到Khan Academy的Javascript，進階到Lego Mindstorms EV3的程式設計，都是我們會安排的課程

第一次聚會將在03/16下午1:30舉行，每次聚會1.5小時

全程用英文教學，有資深英文老師在旁輔導(中、英文輔助)，在學習邏輯性思考的同時，也加強英文能力，一舉數得

名額有限，有興趣者，歡迎詢問

In today's coding class, the kids started to build a new Znap robot from instructions. We also went over the pseudo-code for the program they will code.

In this week's coding class we wrote a color calibration program to ensure the EV3 color sensor always works in any light situation. We also ended up having a mini-science class discussing how reflective light affects color perception.

In this class, we learned about soil liquefaction.  We did our own experiments and simulated the p-wave and s-wave recording.

今年的寒假活動非常的歡樂和有趣，每天都有滿滿的行程，充實、好玩、又有學習，所有的孩子玩得相當盡興，無形中，英文也都進不了不少呢。This year, Language Plus Living Space's winter camp was quite a success!
