AI Science & Creativity: Little Light Designer - Happy Camping

【Product Specifications】 ISBN NO: 9786269546008 Series: AI Science & Creativity Series Specifications: Thread-bound / 60 pages / 22 x 23 x 1.2 cm / General Audience / Full Color Print Publication Location: Taiwan 【Product Introduction】 Grace Hopper, the inventor of the COBOL programming language and the "mother of debugging," once said, "Programming is not just a practical skill; it is a monumental task for building a foundation of knowledge." In this era of rapid technological advancement, to equip children to adapt to a constantly changing environment and become lifelong learners, the latest educational concept—STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics)—has emerged. This series is rooted in children's daily lives, beginning with the exploration of interdisciplinary knowledge and principles. It guides children step-by-step to formulate hypotheses, verify them through computer programming, and thereby develop logical thinking and internalize learning outcomes. With a charming and engaging style, it presents profound yet accessible principles of everyday science, allowing young readers to absorb new knowledge, engage in hands-on coding, and cultivate essential skills for the new era. 【Content Preview】 Science Magnifier — The Vanishing Fireflies Fireflies have a light-producing organ at the end of their abdomen that emits signals to find mates. They prefer clean environments with abundant vegetation, such as riverbanks and ponds. Most species rest during the day and are active at night. The enchanting glow of fireflies has made watching them a popular tourist activity. However, due to the destruction of their habitats, the firefly population is rapidly declining. We should all take action to protect our ecosystem, maintain clean water sources, avoid light pollution, and provide fireflies with a safe home. Understanding PyCode To make a computer execute instructions, you need to learn a language it can understand. PyCode is a child-friendly coding tool based on Google's Blockly, designed to be a foundational introduction to Python for children. It allows kids to easily communicate with computers using block-based commands. 【Foreword】 Mastering AI to Lead the Future AI Now, Leaders Tomorrow Zhao Hongren, General Manager of HSF Tech AI Education is the first step in cultivating children's AI literacy. "AI," or Artificial Intelligence, is no longer a fictional concept but a part of our daily lives. As Apple co-founder Steve Jobs famously said, "Everyone should learn to code because it teaches you how to think." Children encounter AI-powered products every day. Therefore, learning how to think and then teaching computers to think like humans—AI—is a core skill for future generations and a significant educational goal of Taiwan's 108 Curriculum "Technology Domain." Let's introduce children to AI so they can confidently participate on the global digital stage! As the AI era arrives, Mu Chuan Culture's "AI Science & Creativity" series, a collaboration between the technology, education, and publishing industries, has specifically created the educational brand "AI Education" for students, spanning various market segments in Taiwan. By employing STEAM education's interdisciplinary approach and hands-on experimentation, this series makes AI learning fun for children. "Little Light Designer - Happy Camping," uses everyday stories to introduce practical tasks. Through natural science principles, algorithm design, and creative coding challenges, it progressively guides children to think and find their own optimal solutions in a fun way. It not only enables parents, children, and teachers to learn through practice but also allows them to build concrete thinking skills through play, strengthening their algorithmic abilities. Beyond sparking creativity, it cultivates a spirit of collaborative creation. Let your children effortlessly absorb AI and popular science knowledge from their daily lives. We wholeheartedly recommend this series, confident that "AI Science & Creativity" will bring you and your children a truly unique family time!
