Have you intentionally destroyed anything lately? There is a mindset that breaking things is bad. Probably coming from past, when creating products were hard and tedious. Now with mass production and excessive stock, many things become very cheap. text/html 2021-06-12T07:32:34+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://makerobots.eu/dokuwiki/2016-07-30_teach-programing-no-computers?rev=1623483154&do=diff Teaching programming without coding/computers There are many ways to teach people programming. With right abstraction, it is easy to explain most concepts. E.g. today we experimented with sorting things. We took coins of different values and made kind of cells where they could be put in random order. Then added the same amount of cells below. With double empty space it was really easy to sort. Keeping only one free cell makes it more challenging: text/html 2021-06-08T21:30:33+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://makerobots.eu/dokuwiki/2016-11-16_programming-tool-goal?rev=1623187833&do=diff Programming should not be a goal for kids, but a tool! aka guide for playing games in different ways * Select open source game on github that kids may want to play and you understand code. * If kids don’t like it (let them play 5 minutes), search something different. text/html 2021-06-08T21:30:33+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://makerobots.eu/dokuwiki/2017-12-08_need-inspiration?rev=1623187833&do=diff Need inspiration?
