Dave holds the world record for the highest photograph ever taken by an amateur, and shows the children how he’s programmed a tiny very basic Raspberry Pi computer to tell the webcam when to take photos, and the transmitter to send them back to Earth. They help him pack the hardware into a box with a GPS tracker, and attach it to a helium balloon that will carry the camera above the clouds. He explains how the resolution of the pictures affects the amount of data the transmitter can send back, so he uses a lower resolution to get the pictures back quickly. We see the looped code that tells the camera to take a photo every 30 seconds, the transmitter to send the image, and the GPS tracker to keep updating the location. The program tells Dave when the balloon has burst, and the young coders help direct him to the field where his hardware has landed, using the GPS tracker. This clip is from the BBC series Cracking the Code. Minna Kane and her team of young coders find out all about the exciting world of computer programming in these films made for primary-age children. In Cracking the Code, they meet the visual effects artists working on Dr Who, play football with robots, test out a Formula One racing simulator and meet a man who has sent his computer into space. Back in the classroom, they learn how to write their own code and make their own games.

How to take a picture from Space | Computer Science - Cracking the Code

Suitable for ages 7 to 11.

Science reporter Minna Kane takes them to Plymouth University to meet the Black Ninjas, a robot football team who play in the robot World Cup. The programmers show the children how they write the code that tells their players what to do. The robots can recognise shapes and colour, which means they can find the ball. They use IF/THEN commands to tell the robots when to move and in which direction. We see the code that tells the robot goalie to dive left, right or keep still depending on the position of the ball, along with coded functions like WALK TO BALL and LOOKING FOR BALL. The programmer explains how this very complex code is built up of many small functions and processes. The children are challenged to try to beat the autonomous robots using players they operate themselves. They manage easily, because football is such a complex game for a robot to play that humans have the upper hand. The children then meet the ICub robot, and its programmer Tony. He shows them how he can teach ICub to recognise objects, using voice recognition commands. They have a go at commanding the robot themselves. Tony explains that because ICub learns through recognition and repetition like a human, it makes more mistakes than a robot simply following a set of IF/THEN commands.

They will use just three instructions – FORWARD, TURN 90 DEGREES RIGHT, TURN 90 DEGREES LEFT – to get the car to its destination without hitting any shops. They try it on the classroom floor first, then recreate the town plan on their computers using Logo. They write the series of instructions to tell the car what to do. They test their code, looking for problems that need to be debugged, before downloading it onto the toy car. The code has several errors in it, and needs to be debugged again, but finally they succeed in getting the car to the correct destination.

Two young coders find out about the physics and data processing that goes into creating a realistic simulator for F1 drivers to use in training. Science presenter Minna Kane takes them to ride with a professional F1 driver at Silverstone, before visiting the University of Hertfordshire’s simulator. The simulator hardware includes high resolution screens, realistic controls and hydraulic legs to create the sensation of movement. Its programmers have developed a detailed model incorporating the laws of physics and data to mimic both the circuit and the car accurately, taking into account speed, height, weight, mass and the power of the engine, along with bends in the track and even wet conditions. We see the program that tells the simulator what to do, using if-then statements to change the values to represent different cars. The young coders have a go at driving both a standard and an F1 car in the simulator. They compare the experience of a simulator with a real circuit around Silverstone. Whilst the simulation is not perfect, faster computers will mean that its successors are even more realistic. This clip is from the BBC series Cracking the Code.

They first draw the track using paint tools, then pick a car “Sprite”, or icon, to instruct to drive around it. They paint the headlights of the car different colours, and use IF/THEN commands in a FOREVER loop to tell the car to change direction if the headlight colour meets the background colour at the edge of their track. In this way, they can tell their car to stay on the road. They enter speed as a variable, and find that at higher speeds it is harder for the car to stay on the track, as the program has less time to react. They lower the speed to debug the program.

Science presenter Minna Kane explains how you can plug your keyboard and monitor into a tiny Raspberry Pi, and use open source coding software to program it. We see a primary school class build model crocodiles out of Lego, complete with a motorised mouth with a proximity sensor inside it. The sensor is the input and the motor is the output. The children use Scratch, a visual programming language, to create the program that will make the mouth snap shut when something is put inside it. We see their IF/THEN blocks and sensing values using a LESS THAN command, that enable the sensor to detect how close the finger is and snap shut. This clip gives an example of basic programming skills. This clip is from the BBC series Cracking the Code. Minna Kane and her team of young coders find out all about the exciting world of computer programming in these films made for primary-age children. In Cracking the Code, they meet the visual effects artists working on Dr Who, play football with robots, test out a Formula One racing simulator and meet a man who has sent his computer into space. Back in the classroom, they learn how to write their own code and make their own games.

We see the children at Code Club, writing their own instructions for the sprites (or characters) in a cat and mouse chase game. They talk science presenter Minna Kane through their use of commands such as FOREVER, REPEAT, IF/THEN and adding sounds to their games. We see how they drag command blocks into a sequence to tell the sprites what to do. They use variables to give the players a score. We see a young coder who has created a game with four sprites and is working through the problems this more complex game creates. We hear that problem-solving and logical thinking are key skills for coding. The children suggest more complex games they would like to code in the future.

They see how a smartphone app can interact with a piece of hardware containing mirrors that looks like a toy kennel, to create the illusion of a little dog inside. The app can access the phone’s microphone and accelerometer, and uses voice recognition software to make the dog bark and roll over. A sensor recognises when a finger is put into the kennel to feed it. Another app toy looks like a dinosaur, and uses Bluetooth technology to connect you with nearby friends so your two creatures can fight. Programmer Martin shows the children how he can code the dinosaur’s roar using an AUDIO.PITCH command. They also play with a highly realistic virtual fish tank, which uses the smart phone accelerometer to control a virtual fishing rod. The programmer reminds the children that this is just a prototype – if people have more ideas for the game they can rewrite the code to change it. This clip is from the BBC series Cracking The Code.

We see archive Dr Who footage, and hear how the storyline used to be limited by the number of Dalek props that could be physically built. Science presenter Minna Kane tells us that modern episodes of Dr Who make extensive use of computer programming, particularly for controlling highly realistic visual effects (VFX) using computer-generated images (CGI). The children meet programmer Cat, who shows them how she can make an army of Daleks using 3D computer-generated images and a duplicate command in the code. She also demonstrates the RAND command, which can make the different members of her Dalek army move at random, making them seem more lifelike. They meet Rose, who films them acting in front of a green screen before using a chroma key effect to superimpose them into the Dalek Parliament. This clip is from the BBC series Cracking the Code.

The smartphone takes photographs of the cube using its built-in camera and the software works out the fastest way to solve the cube. The smartphone then sends instructions to the mechanical arms to tell them which parts of the cube to rotate. The Rubik’s cube solver is a prime example of how electronics in our everyday lives are capable of doing unexpected things. This clip is from the BBC series ‘The Royal Institute Christmas Lectures’. In this selection of highlights from the 2014 Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, Professor Danielle George reveals the amazing technology behind the gadgets we take for granted and shows how they can be hacked and adapted to do amazing things.

=====================
Professor Danielle George demonstrates the world’s fastest Rubik’s cube solver and explains how it works using just a smartphone and bricks. The smartphone takes photographs of the cube using its built-in camera and the software works out the fastest way to solve the cube. The smartphone then sends instructions to the mechanical arms to tell them which parts of the cube to rotate. The Rubik’s cube solver is a prime example of how electronics in our everyday lives are capable of doing unexpected things.

This clip is from the BBC series ‘The Royal Institute Christmas Lectures’. In this selection of highlights from the 2014 Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, Professor Danielle George reveals the amazing technology behind the gadgets we take for granted and shows how they can be hacked and adapted to do amazing things.

What can 3D printing be used for? | Computer Science - The Royal Institution Lectures

Suitable for teaching 14-16s. Professor Danielle George demonstrates the science behind how a digital camera works.

Add the video to your own teaching playlists. Create an account, subscribe to the channel and create playlists for different age groups, sets and syllabuses. ===================== Professor Danielle George explains how a digital camera’s CMOS sensor captures an image. She uses balls and buckets to represent photons, electrons and capacitors in an interactive experiment. The demonstration shows that when a photon of light hits a pixel, the pixel releases an electron, which is stored by the capacitor. The more light that hits the pixel, the more electrons are released, and so the amount of charge in the capacitor is a measure of how bright that part of the image is. This measurement from the capacitor is then used to tell the image generator how bright that pixel should be. This clip is from the BBC series The Royal Institute Christmas Lectures.

The film outlines how algorithms are the starting points for computer programs that solve problems. It then looks at the example of using an electronic card key to open a door, using a flow diagram to organise the instructions and steps needed to make sure the door only unlocks when the correct card key is used. The film finishes with more examples of how algorithms are used in computer-based tools and systems like social media feeds and search engine rankings.
