CHENGDU,
China, July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Walnut
Coding, a leading online coding learning platform for young
learners, supported the Programming the Future
event, part of the main promotional events of the 2024
Chengdu Chenghua District Artificial Intelligence Programming
Science hosted by Chenghua District Education Bureau of
Chengdu on July 2, 2024. The event was held to promote
science and technology education and to allow more primary and
secondary school students to interact with and develop a passion
for computer programming and artificial intelligence. It
provided a platform for students to demonstrate and improve their
programming skills and to improve their scientific
literacy and innovation skills while promoting the development of
science and technology education.
With almost 1,000 sign-ups, the event aimed to encourage
students to create their AI-themed mini projects through
graphical programming. It included public creative programming and
AI programming classes for kids, with selected projects shortlisted
for a prize-giving ceremony. Junyi Bai, a
fifth-grader from the Experimental Primary School Attached to
the University of Electronic Science and Technology, created his
Police Catching Thieves work. He programmed statements using
detection, variables, motion, and control, and other
directories through Scratch (block-based coding language), and
completed the project by programming the police, thieves, and
other characters.
Walnut Coding played an important supporting role in
this event, demonstrating its leading position and rich
experience in the field of coding education. It
strives to become one of the most trusted
coding education brands through a series of activities
aligned with the Company's concept and vision of inspiring a
love for science and technology among children, and
making high-quality coding education widely
accessible. Walnut Coding focuses on scaling individualized
learning through technology and ensuring every child has the
opportunity to cultivate creativity through programming.
Yuyang Mo, a sixth-grader at Chengdu Jinguancheng
Primary School, described his creating process and his
willingness to continue developing more applications
while learning and practicing, "This activity not only
allowed me to use Scratch to design games and animations
independently, but also stimulated my interest in programming,
and eventually inspired my independent thinking and
cultivated my ability to analyze and solve problems."
Earlier this year, the I am a Little Astronaut event,
which was also supported by Walnut Coding, was successfully held in
Xi'an and has attracted more than 48,000 students
from more than 180 schools who showcased their love for aerospace
science through aerospace-themed creative programming. 37
outstanding teenagers won the awards and received a chance to
visit top scientific research institutions on-site and to
engage in aerospace knowledge, which significantly enhanced
their interest and passion for science.
Mr. Yuhang Wang, Co-founder of
Walnut Coding commented, "Walnut Coding has always been
committed to inspiring a love for science and technology among
children as well as their desire for innovation through coding
education. We have been actively supporting student
programming projects across the country, providing technical
support for various youth science and technology practice
activities. We hope to bring students new
developmental experiences through more projects, thus helping
to promote the development of scientific education."
