Begin with Abstraction, practice writing a flowchart, and learn basic coding of Python, one of the world’s most popular programming languages. To deploy and expand results in their own classrooms To pave the way for the children I see that learning coding is easy and fun. “
The One-day Coding Camp is an activity under the Samsung Innovation Campus, a social project of Thai Samsung Electronics Company Limited that aims to develop digital skills for Thai youths. Through learning basic coding and programming, consistent with the curriculum of computational science of secondary school students. Every year, Samsung organizes a basic programming training. The duration of approximately 1.5 months is the main activity under the Samsung Innovation Campus program and this year Samsung has developed additional One-day Coding Camp to meet the needs of students and schools. Who want additional activities in the fundamentals, knowledge and understanding of coding content It is also an activity that allows young people to take their first steps into the world of programming. To plan for further coding lessons The curriculum in the camp consists of 3 important topics: 1) Abstract thinking. (Abstraction) to enhance understanding 2) practice systematic thinking by designing a flowchart, and 3) practice writing in Python. Students learn about the basic grammar of Python. And create computer graphics by writing code by yourself Ready to listen to the learning experience and career in the code line from the alumni of the Samsung Innovation Campus project for the format of the Coding Camp, this time the project has provided live content and activities from the project’s operational center through the platform Online to participating schools from different regions Which has a team of speakers and mentors to give advice throughout the activity
Samsung Innovation Campus – One-day Coding Camp was held for the first time.
