Due to the declaration of the State of Emergency, ASIJ ELC is suspending all after-school activities starting January 11th for a minimum of two weeks.

the class is full

Thank you for interesting to take our class. Unfortunately, our class is full. We have some seat left at Shirokanedai. Please consider to take our class at Shirokanedai. Otherwise, please contact us We will put you on the waiting list. Trial class reservation: https://codinglab.jp/trial/

Age 4-6 classes at Shirokanedai

In the Jr. Coding and Robotics club, kids learn to code computers and robots. We use a fun and easy to use language called Scratch Jr. and an assortment of robots. Students make games, interactive stories, program robots to solve puzzles, and more.

Our goal is to give kids a chance to experience programming, robotics, and science in a fun and nurturing environment.

Coding Lab Japan is run by ex-Microsoft software engineers. We want kids to learn the fundamentals of programming, but we want it to be fun and engaging so kids learn to love technology and coding.

Primary Focus: Coding with Scratch Jr. and Robotics

Secondary Focus: Problem Solving, Mathematics (basic arithmetic), science, spatial and temporal awareness, memory rotation, storytelling, and having fun!

App Inventor Setup

Preparing for Class

Programming Language
Google Gmail account
Android devices
Software Emulator (optional)
Textbook

Programming Language/Platform

App Inventor is a web based programming language, so students do all their coding via the web browser. Note, Google Chrome and the Microsoft Edge (based on Chromium) work best.

Google Gmail Account

App Inventor requires a Google Account. This lets students log in to the App Inventor site and save all of their projects in the cloud. Note, this Google account cannot be part of Google’s Family Link.

If students do not have an existing Google account, please create one before the start of class.
https://www.google.com/gmail/
On the day of the class, please make sure the student knows their login information: username and password.
If you prefer to not give your child access to their own account/email, we recommend you create an account that you control so you can change the password to restrict access.

Android Devices

We have Android devices at the school that students can use. Students can also use their own device, just install the App Inventor Companion App.

For online students, if you don’t have a device, no problem, you can use the software emulator (info below).

Android Software Emulator

If you do not have an Android device, you can use the software emulator. An emulator is a virtual device that runs on your computer.

Emulator Setup:

http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/setup-emulator
Choose the installation for your device: Mac, Windows, or Linux
Download and Run the installer
We can help you setup the emulator if you have questions are run into problems.
