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.

Google Gmail Account

Students create apps to run on Android mobile devices: tables or phones. We have devices at the school that students can use. But If students have an Android device, they are welcome to bring it.
For online students, if you don’t have a device, no problem. Students can use the software emulator (info below).
If students use their own device, please install the App Inventor Companion App before the first class.

Textbook

For students joining the class online, we will send you information on how to access the textbook online. For student’s joining the class in-person, we will provide them with a printed copy of the textbook.

STEM Jr. Coding and Robotics Club @ ASIJ 2021 Feb

State of Emergency Update

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.

In the STEM 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 will make games, interactive stories, program robots to move and solve problems, and more. Our goal is to give kids a chance to experience programming, robotics, and science in a fun and exciting 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!

Students can “Raise Their Hand” in Zoom during the video conference if they have any questions for the tutor.

Steps to raise your hand:

Open Participants’ view and click Raise Hand.

Note:

Windows: You can also use the Alt+Y keyboard shortcut to raise or lower your hand.
Mac: You can also use the Option+Y keyboard shortcut to raise or lower your hand.

How To Share Screen in a class

Students can share their screen in Zoom so that the teachers are able to see their program and guide them. Please visit How to Share Screen for more information.

https://support.zoom.us/hc/articles/201362153-How-Do-I-Share-My-Screen

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Precautions

At Coding Lab Japan we are concerned about COVID 19 and are taking the following measures. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us.

What we are doing at the school

In the morning and the end of the day we are cleaning all the doors, surfaces, etc.
We are ventilating the air in the school periodically during the day by opening windows and using fans.
We are purifying the air in the school using a Blue Air system (https://www.blueair.com/)
We applied a Nanozone coat to our class rooms (https://www.nanozone.jp/)
All students, teachers, and visitors are required to wash their hands every time they come into the school. (arrival, bathroom breaks, etc.)
We are cleaning all computers, mice, and workspaces at the end of each class.
Classrooms will have protective plastic and/or see-through acrylic barriers installed.
For some classes we will ask students and teachers to wear a plastic face shield. These will be provided by the school.
In-person maximum class size has been reduced to 5 students. Junior class class size is a maximum of 4 students.
For weekday Summer Classes, we changed the start time for the early class to 10:00am, so students taking the train can avoid the morning crowded trains.

Online classes

All classes are offered online, expect for a few specialty robotic classes.
Online classes are the same class as the in-person class. All students join the same class.
Please contact us if you would prefer to have your child join a class online instead of coming to the school.

In-person class guidelines

We are asking parents to please follow these guidelines for students joining in-person classes.

All students and teachers will be required to wear masks inside the school.
If your child is sick, has a fever, or not feeling well, please stay at home from class.
Please check your child’s temperature on a regular basis.
Please instruct your child on the proper way to cough or sneeze into their arm.
To limit the number of people inside the school, we ask that parents wait downstairs and phone their child or the school when you have arrived to pick them up. Of course, parents are always welcome to come into the school, but if you do not need to speak with us and your child is old enough to leave on their own, we ask you to please follow this policy.
Foreign Travel: If your child or a family member has traveled outside of Japan, we ask that you please at least 2 weeks before coming to the school. We can arrange online classes so your child does not miss a lesson.
