FIFTEEN AND SIXTEEN DOJO SESSION
In fifteenth dojo session kids learned how they can create their own sprite and can convert their own image in to sprite. In sixteenth dojo they gain an understanding of IF, ELSE and THEN conditions. To assimilate this we did fun activities and all kids were thrilled to know that they can use their own photo as a sprite. All together both the sessions were full of gratification. In 15 minute coding challenge, kids created their program using IF ELSE and THEN conditions.

Fourteenth Dojo Session
Extremely happy to share that we have resumed our Coding classes online on regular basis. Session started with the revision of Scratch , Kids were very excited and cheerful to be back in the class. In this session we taught them about the different part of scratch window, and how we use different coding command options like motions, controls, looks. After that they learnt to change/choose custom background and sprite.
In the end of the class they all got Homework , they need to revise 'Lost in space' programme and add their own creativity.

THIRTEEN DOJO SESSION
Adding an element of fun and colour to coding class, Raspberry Pi foundation announced Holi challenge this week. Kids were all geared up and wrote down their ideas systematically. Kids were able convert their ideas on the basis of Computational thinking which they have learned last week, where they were able to divide the problems in to four sections:- Understanding the problem, planning, visualisation, implementation.Lastly Kids have also learned how they can adopt healthy habits to protect themselves.

Twelfth DOJO SESSION
Date:- 1 March 2020
This week witnessed double the excitement. Not only because the kids learned about Arduno Uno , but also because they receive their certificates.
They delved in detail of how the whole system of Arduno Uno works.It was followed by a better understanding of the functioning of it.

TENTH AND ELEVENTH DOJO SESSION
In continuation to scratch, last week, children did a program called Chatbot, In which they need to create a virtual robot ,and then they can ask questions to Robot.They were all very excited to do that program.

This week they have learned about Computational thinking in which they have learned how to understand the problem,how they can make computer understand the problem,and give clear instructions to computer.The second topic was Logical Reasoning , in this they have also learned that how they need to give fact based logical instructions to computer so that computer can respond properly.

NINTH DOJO SESSION
Date:- 9-02-2020
In the last session children continued learning the program Ghost busters .They were excited to explore the feature of sound as they added it while writing coding instructions.
Also, revision of all important terms was done along with examples given by all the learners.

EIGHTH DOJO SESSION
Date:-03-02-2020
Continuing with the scratch, kids learned a new program today called ghost busters.They followed the instructions to create codes whee the ghost had to hide and later be visible with the click of a mouse .They also understood the concept and application of terms like pause, random,loops,Variable.

SEVENTH DOJO SESSION
Date:- 19 Jan 2020
This time the session was divided in to three parts:- Theory, practical and revision
In theory the children learned about the concept of Electromagnet , properties of both magnet and iron and why iron sticks to magnet.After a clear understanding on theory ,it was shown how an electromagnet works.
With an aim to reinforce learning, revision is done at regular intervals. Today all the children were made to revise Scratch(Rockband and spaceship program).

SIXTH DOJO SESSION
Date:- 12 Jan 2020
As we progress each week, the children are all the more excited. Today continuing with Scratch, the learners created their space program where the rocket took off and also changes colour.
Further, they practised loop and repeat commands that would help them to use the time effectively and avoid rewriting commands again and again.
Chota byte also welcomed some new learner's to the club today.

FIFTH DOJO SESSION
Date:- 4 Jan 2020
Among many other skills required in the 21st century , 3 of the most important ones are to think creatively, reason systematically and work collaboratively. In line with these objectives , the children at Chota byte club have now started learning the programme language , SCRATCH.
They made Rock band program where one can not only add different objects but also create their own objects .Eventually they will be able to create interactive stories , games and animations. All the kids were excited and quite engaged as they practised Scratch.

FOURTH DOJO SESSION
Date:- 15-Dec-2019
Continuing the effort of adding fun to learning, the day today started with dance party where all the students showcased their dance moves.
It was followed by dedicating one hour to the global movement of 'Hour of code'. After successfully practising computer programming for an hour, the students received their certificates.The session ended with learner's posing with their certificates.
