GLICODE™ vs intelino scratch

GLICODE TM turns every packet of Pocky into a bite-sized coding lesson. By laying out Pocky in the right order, you can use Japan’s (and the world's) favourite snacks to learn algorithmic thinking in a fun and engaging way. Take control of Glico's mascot HUG HUG as he makes his way around an imaginary world, trying to spread happiness. You will need to learn different coding functions to help him navigate a range of levels so he can make his way to a child in need of a smile. [WHAT YOU CAN LEARN] By arranging Pocky in different sequences you can learn three basic coding fundamentals: ・SEQUENCES ・LOOPS ・'IF' STATEMENTS [EQUIPMENT REQUIRED] 1. "GLICODE" App Download the "GLICODE" app from App Store. 2. Snacks All you need to play "GLICODE" is a regular packet of Chocolate Pocky. As the levels progress they will become harder to test you on what you've learnt. Remember to save a few extra Pocky for the difficult levels - you'll need them! 3. Placemat For the best results make sure the snacks are placed on a plain white background. Use a white placemat, paper or plate to lay your snacks out on. [INSTRUCTIONS] 1. Line up your snacks. Remember not to place them too close together. 2. Capture. Use your phone’s camera to take a picture of your snack sequence from above. 3. Test your sequence. Hit the play button to see your code executed as HUG HUG moves through the course. 4. Eat your delicious code. If you pass the level you can eat your delicious code and get ready for the next challenge. *Be mindful of hygiene - we recommend you wash your hands before playing with your snacks. *Please make sure your white placemat is clean. [Adopted by school lesson program with MIC!] In Japan "GLICODE" was adopted by "Popularization of Programming education for young segment" program supported by Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in 2016. Elementary school teachers are using this app as a tool in the classroom to teach the basics of programming to early elementary school kids. GLICODE TM is a free educational app that teaches children about the principles of coding - with Pocky! GLICODE TM is a trademark of the programming education app by Ezaki Glico.

Intelino Scratch app is a block-based programming editor for the intelino smart train. Scratch™, developed at the MIT Media Lab, is the most popular block-based programming editor used by millions of children worldwide. With Intelino Scratch, you will get access to a full-featured collection of control blocks for the smart train integrated in the familiar environment of the Scratch™ editor. Powered by Scratch 3.0 extension technology, all of the functions of the smart train are at your fingertips: - Movement status and direction events - Distance events - Speed control, pausing and stopping - Wagon decopling - programmable top, front and rear RGB LED lights - split track detection and route planning functions - color command detection and full editing capability - color detection and events In addition to single train programming, Intelino Scratch allows to connect to and interactively program up to 3 smart trains. This capability greatly enhances the creative and learning possibilities and offers a great way to experiment with smart mobility concepts like collision avoidance, autonomous transportation, cooperative driving, resource sharing and more. Additionally, Intelino Scratch offers access multiple open-source extensions: - Experiment with AI and Machine Learning to control the smart train using Teachable Machine and Face, Hand and Body Sensing extensions developed under the Dancing with AI project at the MIT Media Lab. The Teachable Machine extension offers integration with Google's Teachable Machine and allows to easily create and train image- and audio-based models and use them in the Scratch editor. - Use Text-to-Speech, Translate, Music and Pen extensions for extra creative possibilities. - Enable interactivity between the smart train and 3rd-party hardware such as micro:bit™, Makey Makey™ and others.
