What is Computer Building? Computer building is the process of selecting, assembling, and configuring individual computer components to create a complete, functional computer system. In our class, you’ll learn these skills through hands-on practice with demonstration devices and realistic computer simulations, allowing you to understand how computers work without the cost of purchasing components. How Our Class Works Our computer building education uses a combination of practical and virtual learning: Demonstration Devices: We provide real computer components that you can handle, examine, and practice assembling. These include motherboards, CPUs, RAM modules, graphics cards, and other essential parts that you can physically connect and disconnect. Computer Simulations: Advanced simulation software allows […]
What is Drone Coding? Drone coding involves programming unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to perform specific tasks autonomously or semi-autonomously. Instead of manually controlling a drone with a remote controller, you write code that tells the drone what to do, when to do it, and how to respond to different situations. This combines the excitement of flight with the problem-solving aspects of programming. How Drone Coding Works The process typically involves several key components: Flight Controller: The “brain” of the drone that executes your code and manages flight stability, motor control, and sensor data processing. Sensors: Drones use various sensors like GPS, accelerometers, gyroscopes, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors to understand their […]
What is 3D Printing? 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process that creates three-dimensional objects by building them layer by layer from digital designs. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods that remove material (subtractive manufacturing), 3D printing adds material only where needed, making it efficient and versatile for creating complex geometries. How 3D Printing Works The basic process involves three main steps: Design: Create a digital 3D model using computer-aided design (CAD) software Slice: Convert the 3D model into layers using slicing software, which generates instructions for the printer Print: The 3D printer follows these instructions to build the object layer by layer using materials like plastic, resin, or […]
Minecraft isn’t just a game—it’s a powerful educational tool that’s revolutionizing how children learn programming. At Coding Lab Japan, we’ve discovered that Minecraft coding classes offer the perfect blend of fun and learning, making complex programming concepts accessible and exciting for young minds. What Makes Minecraft Perfect for Learning Code? Visual and Interactive Learning Unlike traditional coding environments with intimidating text editors, Minecraft provides an immediate visual representation of code. When students write a program to build a castle, they see their creation appear block by block in the 3D world. This instant feedback keeps children engaged and motivated to continue learning. Familiar Environment Most children are already familiar with […]
