“This circuit is wrong!”about learning technology
Hello, my name is Hanna Kim, and I’m in 3rd grade at elementary school. I want to tell you my feelings and experiences about learning technology.
with momTechnology Educator
Few weeks ago, I went to mom’s lecture and I showed my ear folding rabbit and cat
bracelet.
ear foldingrabbit
using Tech D. I. Y.sewing circuit
When I showed the ear folding rabbit, I found some mistakes and told people at there, “This circuit is wrong!” I don’t understand but, somehow people found my explanation interesting and that’s the reason I
present my speech today.
when I was young...
When I was 3 years old, it was my first time I started to learn
technology.
lullaby cloudusing PicoCricket
Mom and I made a lullaby cloud using
PicoCricket.
(video) When the cloud senses darkness, the lullaby music
turns on.
cat chasing mouseusing PicoCricket
We also made a cat that chases
mouse.
When I push the button of the cat, the mouse shakes like it is running away. It shakes by the motor inside.
Make Faire 2008my first electronics kit!
When I was 3 years old, I went to Make Faire and saw many fun
things.
and saw many
fun things.
Mom presented Tech D.I.Y. projects
at there.
This is the Christmas costume my mom made for me. She made me a LED crown, LED dress, and a LED magic wand.
Once I followed my mom, at her New Media
Art Show.
learning video camerafrom TV producer
Since mom was so busy, I played iPad or learned video camera from Judice. But mom never allows me to use smartphones or watch TV usually. I agree with it. Firstly, it is bad for my eyes and secondly, they are
addictive to play or watch.
TechDIY.orgI made lots of things at Tech D.I.Y. projects with mom. I will tell you about things what I’ve learned from it.
snail lightlearning sewing and basic circuit
I made a snail light when I was in
first grade.
I learned how to sew and how to connect LEDs and
batteries.
ear folding rabbitlearning switch
This is the ear folding rabbit I made, at that time, I
learned switch.
(video) If rabbit fold its ears, electronic
current flows.
Octopus alien’s Quizlearning parallel circuit
I also made Octopus
alien’s Quiz.
From this, I learned how to connect many LEDs. If correct legs are connected, lights turn on. It was possible since I learned about parallel circuit.
Snowmanlearning transistor and photo cell
This one is my snowman
bracelet.
If photo cell detects darkness, transistor’s base opens and electronic current flows. If not, transistor’s base closes.
mindstormslearning robotics
Besides, I assembled MindStorms. MindStorms was fun to make or play, but it was boring to do again, and I can’t design differently.
codeforkids.net : scratchlearning programming
I started programming when I became 3rd grade. It is called Scratch. I program blocks and characters to move with my orders.
My last program was
“Ant Maze.”
http://codeforkids.net/?p=236The ant moves by
arrow keys.
http://codeforkids.net/?p=236If ant touches wall, it goes back to the first position where it
started.
http://codeforkids.net/?p=236It is also same for the ant meeting caterpillar or
bomb.
http://codeforkids.net/?p=236When it goes to queen ant, you win the game. You can see my Scratch code at CodeforKids.net.
“Learning by Making with your family!
And share it!!!”
In next semester, I will be making Scratch and Arduino together with my mom. I don’t want parents to give phones or computers to children to play games or surf internet. Instead of it, I want parents and
children make a doll or bracelet to learn technology like me. Also, I would like to share what I learned with my friends and family.
