Tired of consuming? Let's enjoy creating! Based on Scratch, Pyonkee provides a real, programming environment, anytime, anywhere! Pyonkee is a new dynamic media for developing various ideas. By combining visual blocks, kids/adults are able to create original games, animations, and stories on their own. Through the programming process, we will learn about logics, productivity, creativity, and collaborations. Pyonkee has been developed from the open-source code of "Scratch 1.4" from MIT Media Lab. Since Pyonkee is fully compatible with Scratch 1.4, millions of existing Scratch projects can be used for reference. Pyonkee's user interface is optimized for touch devices. We do not need cumbersome typing, even a mouse. Just write programs wherever you like. Pyonkee nicely supports pinch-in/out, and font scaling for small devices. Moreover, sound recorder and camera are provided for importing your sounds and pictures into the projects. We can mix various media on Pyonkee and program them. Moreover, you can share your projects via AirDrop, e-mail, iCloud, and other cloud storage services. From the version 2.1, you are able to create programs using various iPad sensors and Mesh network protocol. From the version 2.3, more than 100 instruments are available in sound block. You can even play other synth app's sounds by enabling Virtual MIDI. From the version 2.20, Pyonkee is able to connect to micro:bit. You can get values from various sensors and send analog/digital signals to the pins. By combining the micro:bit with Pyonkee, you can enjoy an even wider world of programming. Dive into the fun of visual programming!

绘编程是一个入门级的编程语言,它的核心理念是基于情景化编程,情境主要来自于孩子身边科学、来自孩子绘本阅读的素材中。它可以让幼儿 ( 5-7岁 ) 创建互动的故事和游戏,孩子利用图形化的程序积木让角色移动、跳跃、舞蹈、唱歌。孩子也可以利用绘图编辑器绘制自己的角色、用麦克风录制自己声音、用照相机加入自己拍摄的照片。最后用拼积木的方法组合成程序,让他们心中的角色动起来。 绘编程这个软件的创作灵感来自于 Scratch。在全球有数以百万计的年轻人 ( 8 岁以上 ) 使用 Scratch,是个非常受欢迎的编程语言。而绘编程 则重新设计操作界面及编程语言,让它更适合幼儿,尤其专注将功能设计地更符合他们的认知、个人、社会、情感发展。 编码 ( 或电脑编程 ) 是新世代的必备素养,就像写作能帮助你组织思路、表达观点,编程也是一样。在过去,编程很难普及,但我们认为每个人都该具备这样的能力,就像写作能力一样。
