Most books that use MATLAB are aimed at readers who know how to program. This book is for people who have never programmed before. As a result, the order of presentation is unusual. The book starts with scalar values and works up to vectors and matrices very gradually. This approach is good for beginning programmers, because it is hard to understand composite objects until you understand basic programming semantics.

"Pixar in a Box is a behind-the-scenes look at how Pixar artists do their jobs.

You will be able to animate bouncing balls, build a swarm of robots, and make virtual fireworks explode.

The subjects you learn in school — math, science, computer science, and humanities — are used every day to create amazing movies at Pixar.

This collaboration between Pixar Animation Studios and Khan Academy is sponsored by Disney. If you have questions or ideas, email us at piab@khanacademy.org."

Students will learn new vocabulary (directions, colours and letters) while using using an unplugged lesson of pixel programming.

In this culminating activity of the unit, students bring together everything they've learned in order to write the code to solve the Grand Challenge. The code solution takes two images captured by robots and combines them to create an image that can be focused at different distances, similar to the way that humans can focus either near or far. They write in a derivative of C++ called QT; all code is listed in this activity.

Students write Arduino code and use a “digital sandbox” to create new colors out of the three programming primary colors: green, red and blue. They develop their own functions, use them to make disco light shows, and vary the pattern and colors of their shows. The digital sandbox is a hardware and software learning platform powered by a microcontroller that can interact with real-world inputs like light, while at the same time controlling LEDs and other outputs.

Students work as if they are electrical engineers to program a keyboard to play different audible tones depending on where a sensor is pressed. They construct the keyboard from a soft potentiometer, an Arduino capable board, and a small speaker. The soft potentiometer “keyboard” responds to the pressure of touch on its eight “keys” (C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C) and feeds an input signal to the Arduino-capable board. Each group programs a board to take the input and send an output signal to the speaker to produce a tone that is dependent on the input signal—that is, which “key” is pressed. After the keyboard is working, students play "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and (if time allows) modify the code so that different keys or a different number of notes can be played.

Equipping Saskatoon and area teachers to bring computational thinking and coding into their classrooms.
A great resource for teachers to find resources for coding in SK!

This open education resource has a massive collection of resources for students and teachers of Computer Science 20 in Saskatchewan.

Even review is included!

Topics covered include: Scratch, Reeborg, Python, Computing & Society and Career Exploration.

With Scratch students will creates stories, games and animations, It will draw students of all types into coding and lay a foundation for future learning.

ScratchJr is an app that is available through Apple (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id895485086?ign-mpt=uo%3D4) or Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.scratchjr.android).

With ScratchJr, young children (ages 5-7) learn important new skills as they program their own interactive stories and games.

By snapping together graphical programming blocks, children can make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. In the process, children learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer. They also use math and language in a meaningful and motivating context, supporting the development of early-childhood numeracy and literacy. With ScratchJr, children don’t just learn to code, they code to learn.

The main areas of focus in the second grade math curriculum are: understanding the base-ten system within 1,000, including place value and skip-counting in fives, tens, and hundreds; developing fluency with addition and subtraction, including solving word problems; regrouping in addition and subtraction; describing and analyzing shapes; using and understanding standard units of measure; working with money and time; and introducing multiplication.

The worksheets and printables for second grade math available on this page will enhance any classroom's math curriculum. These engaging second grade math worksheets cover the basics of counting and ordering as well as addition and subtraction, and include exciting introductions to geometry and algebra for future self-assurance in math.

«Durant la Semaine Canada en programmation, des élèves à l’échelle du pays programmeront ensemble pour déverrouiller le Monde des émojis et bâtir un monde meilleur pour tous les émojis.

L’année dernière, les élèves à l’échelle du Canada ont appris à programmer et rempli le Monde des émojis de milliers d’émojis de 💩 caca 💩. Malheureusement, ces émojis ont relâché trop de CO₂ et le Monde des émojis est maintenant exposé à des changements climatiques majeurs.

En tant que membre du personnel enseignant, vous serez aux commandes, et nous serons vos copilotes. Notre mission est de réduire les émissions de CO₂ causées par les milliers d’émojis de caca du projet de la Semaine Canada en programmation de l’année dernière.

Commencez dès maintenant en recevant nos plans de leçons en vedette directement dans votre boîte de réception. C’est le temps de programmer! 🚀»
