Sunshine News (Reporter Du Lifang) On December 11, Walnut Programming held a new product launch conference of "Practical Operation to the Future" at the National Science and Technology Communication Center in Beijing, and officially released the "Walnut Programming Practical Teaching Product 1".0", thus officially opening a new era of "hands-on programming Xi".
The conference was hosted by the well-known host Ms. Yang Lan, and attended by Zeng Pengxuan, founder and CEO of Walnut Programming, Wang Yuhang, co-founder, Zheng Li, professor of the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Tsinghua University, and Professor Mo Ze, winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize and expert in the field of artificial intelligence. Zeng Pengxuan and Wang Yuhang delivered keynote speeches respectively, giving in-depth interpretations and sharing on topics such as children's programming education and the integration of science and education.
Zeng Pengxuan, founder and CEO of Walnut Programming, said: "Since the establishment of Walnut Programming, we have been focusing on creating an education method of active learning Xi, and practical operation is the best way to stimulate the self-motivation of young people to learn Xi. 'Walnut Programming Practical Teaching Product 1The release of '0' not only provides a new method for quality education, but also provides an idea for the implementation of science education addition. At the same time, we also hope that through practical practice, young people will be full of curiosity about science, have unlimited creativity and independent thinking ability. ”

The release of the "Walnut Programming Practical Teaching Product 1"0" covers multiple directions such as intelligent hardware suits, tutorial upgrades, and personalized teaching engines, comprehensively helping young users efficiently acquire knowledge and master practical application capabilities through practical operations.
Improvement 1: Independent research and development of intelligent hardware suits, combining software and hardware to apply what you have learned
Through the self-developed "alphapi", a hardware development platform designed for youth programming education, Walnut Programming drives small makers to create the real world with programming, integrates into the complex practice of software and hardware development, and builds practical application works such as autonomous driving, face recognition systems, and smart wearable devices, so as to truly put programming knowledge into practice.
The combination of software and hardware can ensure that users can understand and master programming knowledge more intuitively, thereby improving the efficiency of learning Xi. Different from the common programming hardware program-to-hardware mode, AlphaPI's real-time mode can turn the motherboard into a remote control and reverse control the computer program, truly realizing the programming experience of combining software and hardware, and advancing with the Xi programming. At the same time, users can build extremely complex smart home scenarios by expanding hardware modules, and an alphapi motherboard can control smart lights, servo gates, motors and other sensors at the same time. The rich expansion program provides more than 180 hardware programming blocks, allowing users to have endless exploration fun.
Alphapi lives up to the belief that hands-on is the only way to master programming skills. Alphapi is not a motor, not a sensor, but a real-world computing brain, and the object of the user's programming. Learning to control the "brain" and program it opens up endless possibilities in the real world.

Improvement 2: The unique "tutorial upgrade" deepens the practical results
This tutorial upgrade keeps up with the development of the times from the content level, integrates cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics into the tutorial, so that young people can understand the principles and applications of science and technology, and also strengthens the connection between the tutorial and social life, simulates and solves practical problems with programming skills, and improves practical ability. At the level of interaction, more diverse interaction methods allow students to actively participate in the classroom and become the masters of the learning Xi. Different forms of interaction based on exploration, cooperation, challenge, and competition are designed in the curriculum, so that teenagers can cultivate independent thinking and teamwork in different situations.
The new tutorial products are richer and more diverse in the design of learning Xi links, adding links such as popular science education, information collation, and knowledge summary, which broadens the scientific and technological horizons of young people and improves their ability to summarize and express themselves. In addition, the design of the learning and Xi link pays more attention to the creation of class atmosphere and personalized guidance, and adds pre-class and phased re-Xi live broadcasts, so that they can communicate openly with instructors and classmates and form a good learning XiXi habit.
Not only that, this upgrade also adds a small stove class, allowing users to create works according to their own ideas in a small class of 8 people, feel the fun of learning Xi, and gain a greater sense of achievement. In this way, young people will not only be able to master coding skills through hands-on practice, but also improve their teamwork skills.

Improvement 3: The "personalized teaching engine" escorts the whole process and maximizes the "Xi of independent learning".
Teaching students according to their aptitude is one of the principles pursued by Walnut Programming, and the personalized teaching engine is based on Bloom's cognitive theory, adding the design of branching paths. The personalized teaching engine changes the traditional learning Xi model, no longer relying on a single learning Xi Xi path, but gives students more choices, stimulates their initiative, and allows them to choose the right learning path for themselves according to their interests, abilities and needs.
At the same time, in the tutorial background, there is a professional tutorial instructor who tracks the learning Xi status of each student in real time, no matter which Xi learning path is chosen, the instructor can provide timely and targeted professional guidance to help them solve the confusion in the learning Xi.
In order to allow parents to obtain more objective, comprehensive and targeted feedback and suggestions, the new tutorial feedback and evaluation is pushed to parents in the form of learning Xi reports. Parents can not only see the overall performance of students in the classroom, but also see their completion of each exercise Xi and homework, and obtain a multi-dimensional evaluation of the process and results.
We believe that practice leads to love. Wang Yuhang, co-founder of Walnut Programming, believes that "education is not only the teaching of knowledge, but also igniting the fire in the hearts of young people, stimulating their passion for learning Xi, and cultivating their ability to think independently." ”
Walnut Programming has always adhered to and practiced the "craftsman spirit", taking "good ideas, good teaching and research, and good standards" as the R&D criteria, carefully polishing each programming tutorial, bringing the team's professionalism and high investment to the extreme, and creating truly pragmatic and valuable tutorials, so that every teenager can gain valuable wealth for a lifetime through programming learning Xi.
