“石头、剪刀、布！”

“我赢啦！”

“再来！”

同学们摇晃LED屏幕，屏幕上不断变换的似剪刀，类似石头的图形代替手势，彼此间玩得不亦乐乎。

这是五年级同学们参加的由微软公司组织的“编程一小时”活动。

在活动中，同学们利用Microbit芯片，学习了编程LED灯，并通过计算，做出了不同位置的明暗效果，最后做出了红心闪闪、自己设计的霓虹灯名字。

不仅如此，同学们还运用了加速度传感器，将在电脑上编写好的程序输入到LED屏幕上，并添加变量，做出了可以随机出“拳”的电子版“剪刀石头布”小游戏。

对此，五年级的简嘉同学觉得特别有趣，让她体会到了编程的多种可能性。张启正同学说老师很耐心的帮他解决了编程中的问题。张淙越同学说到，当看到自己设计的爱心在LED屏幕上亮起的时候，心里觉得满满的自豪，而且学会变成以后，也可以帮助别人。

在活动过程中，同学们将软件编程与硬件编程结合，体验到了硬件编程的乐趣，受益匪浅。

小学部的信息技术的课程老师Candy Lin老师分享到，今年学校3-5年级的信息课程中，引进了创意编程的学习，丰富了数字多媒体的运用，融合了国际计算机教师协会CSTA标准和义务教育标准相结合的课程体系，帮助孩子掌握适应其年龄段的信息技术，也帮助提升孩子们的数理思维。

“Rock, paper, scissors!

“I won!

“Again!

Students shook their hands and change the shape among rock, paper, and scissors in front the LED screen,  they enjoy themself playing ecah other.

Students in Grade 5 was participating in the “a coding hour” activity  organized by Microsoft company

In the activity, the students used Microbit chip to learn how to program LED lights. Through calculation, they worked out the light and shade effects in different positions. Finally, they made the neon sign named and designed by themself.

Not only that, the students also used the acceleration sensor to put the program finished on the computer program into the LED screen, and add variables to make a small game which could be called the electronic version of “rock, paper, scissors” game.

Jian Jia, a fifth-grade student, found it so interesting and made her realize the myriad possibilities of programming. Zhang Qizheng said that the teacher helped him solve the programming problems patiently. Zhang Congyue said she felt very proud when she saw the heart she had designed lit up on the LED screen.

In the process, the students combined software programming with hardware programming, engaged in hardware programming and benefited a lot.

Candy Lin, an IT teacher of primary school,  told us that CKWA introduced creative programming learning  for 3 to 5 grade in IT course of 2021, which adopts a blended curriculum combined CSTA standard and compulsory education standard and could gives full play of  digital multimedia. This kind of IT course could help children learn IT fitting their ages and  improve children’s mathematical thinking.
