Twenty students are formed in computational thinking in another summer course taught by the IEEE-UPCT association, which throughout the month has taught robotics, programming and pre - university photography
A hippo reaches the edge of the screen, he turns and says "I have hiccups".
It is the first video game scene created by Joseph, 13, at the opening session of the summer course on computational thinking that imparts this week at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena association of engineers IEEE-UPCT.
"Computational thinking is logical and mathematical reasoning following computers.
Helps not only learn game programming, computer applications or robotic devices, also serves to solve all kinds of problems, recognize patterns and develop abstraction, "says industrial engineer Patricia Gomez, instructor of the course.
Twenty students, mostly students of ESO, conducted this course in the Scratch program, developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for programming computer code blocks by colorful and intuitive use.
"With it you can create games very quickly," says Patricia, who will teach students to create animations and interactive stories.
"The goal is to encourage creativity and the last day will make their own game," he adds.
"My video game platforms want it to be, with increasingly difficult challenges," says Yaiza, fond of role 13 years.
"I'm now trying to get the cat says" meow "when it reaches the edge, but I can not," he laments.
Hearing her, Santiago, his age, turns around and tells you where to place the block with the necessary logical operator.
"He already knows video game programming and search the course" learn and deepen knowledge, "he says.
Santiago, who has clear he wants to be "engineer Telecommunications or Industrial" explains that "it is more satisfying to play your own games, fills more."
Elsewhere Jesus classroom, high school teacher, tries to keep up with the son of his cousin, Miguel, 12.
"He knows a lot more programming than me," he admits.
This summer course is the third place in the UPCT Adrian, Paul and Jose Antonio, after making real experts also designed to create applications for mobile and programmed electronic boards.
All these courses have been taught by the association of students and former students of the IEEE-UPCT, who also participated in the day of the inclusive Campus held at the Polytechnic for young people with special abilities, illustrating with pieces of EVA how instructions are given to a computer.
The association has also given this month a course of creative photography to pre-university students, who have exhibited at the cafeteria 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier' ​​photos they made.
