Cheon Dae-geon: Why? Coding Workbook 5: Hamster Robot

Much of the world we live in operates through software. As artificial intelligence, robots, and the IoT (Internet of Things) advance, software will become even more critical, and the ability to handle software in this digital world will be a vital competitive advantage for the future. In line with this, mandatory software education is scheduled to begin in elementary schools in 2019. However, many elementary schools across the country are already implementing software education through after-school programs. Software education is not merely about teaching coding skills to create computer programs. Learning to code is about cultivating the power of thinking. It fosters creativity by conceptualizing how to build a program, computational thinking through the process of logically arranging commands so the computer can execute them, and problem-solving skills by resolving challenges when faced with them. The “Why? Coding Workbook” series kindly answers all the questions children have when starting to code for the first time. In particular, through the “5 Hamster Robot” coding, you can easily control the Hamster Robot (hardware) however you want. The Hamster Robot is a coding education robot equipped with various sensors that allows for diverse activities. Try coding mazes, robot soccer, coded letters, anti-theft devices, and more with the Hamster Robot. The fun of moving it around and the joy of thinking will grow, and before you know it, you will be confident in coding!
