At this moment, most modern people live with digital benefits.
It is no exception to the world and schools surrounding children.In particular, people's lives have changed dramatically due to the 2020 Corona's evil, and schools have to be closed for a long time.In the meantime, some schools have classes online and connect teachers and children online, and the GIGA School concept has caused each terminal to come to elementary and junior high schools nationwide, and children have laptops and tablets.It is changing to use in everyday life.It is time for parents to say, "I'm not good at digital ...".
Therefore, in this "AMD Kids Campaign", we have delivered all three times as a special course to learn the basic knowledge of computers for parents and children for parents as well as children as well as children.
All three programs are as follows.In the second edition, he wrote digital education -related books such as Shin Digital, and had an IT engineer Koji Matsubayashi, an IT engineer who is also involved in programming education from elementary school to university, gave a special course for parents and children.
All 3 programs ● Volume of the 1st "Super Shinjuku, I am worried about the education of my child living in the digital era ..." ● Learn how to interact with Digital and PC with parent and child.This is the volume of this time ● This is the 3rd "Super Shinjuku, I am impressed by the absorption of children!
The four participants in this course were the Rock and Roll entertainer group "Super Shinjuku" leader Eagle Mizojin, Tiger Fukuda, and two elementary school children.In the article, we will report on the content of the course and also respond to the reaction of two pairs of parents and children.
What is "AMD Kids" that utilizes children's digital?
Before the report article, let's explain why AMD is doing such courses and the background.AMD, a semiconductor manufacturer, which has been established for 52 years this year, has manufactured and sells processors that become a core part of PCs, such as the CPU Ryzen series and the Radeon series of GPUs, as well as COVID in collaboration with overseas universities.He has been conducting various efforts as a company, including medical research such as -19 and sponsoring the e -sports scene.
In the AMD's contribution project "AMD Kids Campaign", it is for elementary school and junior high school students because we want to use digital more as one of the means to realize and expand our interest in children.We are conducting a “first PC” and holding a course where you can learn the use of PCs.
In this "AMD Kids Campaign", how to support children who have started using PCs as tools to help parents who are at a loss to use PCs and at home.In addition, we decided to hold a course to learn about computers with parents and children.I hope that readers will also learn the basic knowledge of children living in the future with their computers with the "Super Shinjuku" parent and child through this article.
The notebook PC used in this special course also has an AMD CPU "Ryzen Series".

Eagle Mizojin and Tiger Fukuda of "Super Shinjuku" learn about computers with parents and children!
One day in November, the Eagle Mizojin and Tiger Fukuda of the entertainer group "Super Shinjuku" came to the venue of the AMD Kids Special Course.
The leader of "Super Shinjuku", Eagle Mizojin, who is in charge of the vocal and vocal (band), and Ran -chan, a second -year elementary school student.
In the Super Shinjuku control, Bokeh, Tiger Fukuda in charge of drums in the band, and Ryo -kun, a second -year elementary school student.
Ran -chan and Ryo -kun have been a childhood friend since birth.He joined the course with his dad, so he entered the classroom in a relaxed way and greeted me well.And a special course started.The two supernujuku, who listened to the self -introduction of Mr. Matsubayashi, the instructor, heard that Mr. Matsubayashi was involved in the development of Instagram's Japanese version, and was surprised.
The two of Super Shinjuku are not comedians today, but their serious father.
Mr. Matsubayashi, a lecturer who writes a lot of programming books, is a father with a junior high school daughter.He has been practicing not only as a lecturer, but also with his children, including programming and other digital.
This time, I decided to try typing first because it was a course while actually experiencing a PC.
"Let's search for a browser on a PC and open a search site, and then use the name" Susushida "to use," says Matsubayashi.While cooperating with parents and children, we discovered the desired typing software and tried typing immediately.
It was Tiger Fukuda's son, Ryo -kun, who came up with a keyboard, saying, "I can typing!"He is practicing at home, and he uses his hands to hit the letters more and more.On the other hand, Ran, who is not accustomed to input Roman characters yet, works slowly in cooperation with his father, Eagle Mizojin.
Think of a computer around you
After the experience, Mr. Matsubayashi said to everyone, "When I searched for" Sushida "now, the screen came out and I could play in typing games. Why did you do that?"I asked.He began to explain, "As you can understand the meaning of this, you will be able to understand computers and the world where computers are used."
According to Matsubayashi, when he drives "Sushi," the information is sent outside through the Internet, and he replies, "This is what you are looking for."It is said that your computer is talking to various computers around the world via the Internet network.
Next, Mr. Matsubayashi called on the children, "Let's think about what is around you, which is moving on a computer."Then, two children, such as "PC", "TV", "camera", "Kuruma", and "cooler", came up with various names.
"That's right. Before coming here today, the same is true for ticket vending machines and automatic ticket gates when you get on the train, and computers are also used for microwave ovens, refrigerators, and water heaters that boil the bath.Matsubayashi says, if these are stopped if they stop."Today, before returning home, please look for and think about things that are running on your computer with your dad. If you don't know, go back and check with your dad and your mother on your smartphone or PC.See it, "he told the children.
Which is smarter!? "Computer vs human"
Next, Mr. Matsubayashi introduced a story about how computers are thinking about things.
"It's convenient to do things like a computer, but it's really stupid," says Matsubayashi.Then Tiger Fukuda, who was surprised, asked, "Why are you stupid?"So, Matsubayashi took out many cards with numbers prepared to experience computer thinking.We will use this to conduct practical exercises.
First, distribute eight cards with different numbers one by one to each parent and child, and say, "If you signal, arrange the cards you distributed in that number!"
While thinking, "This is bigger!", Parents and children cooperate to sort the cards.
Mr. Matsubayashi was impressed by the children to sort the cards quickly, and pointed out that "the way to arrange each team was different.""The Tiger Fukuda team searched for one of the smallest numbers and arranged them in order, but the Eagle Mizonjin team arranged while looking at which two cards would enter.That's right. In this way, there are various ways to sort numbers. "Because humans have eyes, if the number of cards is small, you can look at eight cards at a time and instantly identify the smallest numbers.But the computer is different.
"I can only see two computers at a time," said Matsubayashi, and the children were surprised."In the case of this card, divide it into half, divide it into two, and divide it to two, and the smaller one will be the smaller one.Eagle Mizojin and Tiger Fukuda also nodded deeply, saying, "I see."Speakingly, this is a sort of "bubble sort", and on the day there was also a demonstration of the sort of "Quick Sort".
In addition, Mr. Matsubayashi says, "The computer is a computer, so I can only do it very simple, but the overwhelming thing that is overwhelming than humans is that this comparison can be 1 billion times per second."I explained the comparison.
"The videos that everyone is watching on a personal computer, the results of a huge amount of high -speed calculation are actually displayed on the screen. It looks like it's doing something amazing, but in fact, the brain in the computer is very simple.However, there is a person who combines this simple calculation to create a mechanism that can be insanely complicated. That is a programmer or engineer. Humans are amazing. "
"Now, I was able to judge the eight cards at once, but it would be hard to do this with 1000 pieces. Let's leave that to the computer, because it's stupid but very fast.The things that humans are good at and what computers are good at are different. If you know this, you may be able to use computers more conveniently in your daily life. "rice field.
I want you to know the "fun of making" instead of studying.
At the end of the course, "programming" was introduced.Although both of them use each tablet at school, programming itself is inexperienced, so this time, using "Scratch" for children used in many elementary schools.He explained what he could do with programming.
Looking at the screen of "Scratch", the children who are curious, saying, "I've seen it!"
"I don't want you to memorize all the programs on the program. Today, I want you to know the fun of making it, thinking," If you can make it so easy, we can make it! ""If you are interested, try to continue at home or buy an introductory book for programming at a bookstore, and try to make it yourself."
The trick is, "I don't know if it works or not, but I'll try it out for the time being. As you go, if you want to make a more amazing picture or draw a cooler picture, try it yourself.Good. "
I want you to enjoy on the same playing field as your child
At the end of the course, Mr. Matsubayashi told the two pairs of parents and children, and the words "curiosity" and "inquiry" were reported.
First of all, to the children, "When you are playing games, you may not work well. In such a case, if you add a habit of thinking" Why ", you'll be in the back mechanism that you couldn't see before. I'm also interested in it and it's really fun. When it doesn't work, if I keep thinking, "How is it different from when it's done well?" talked.
In addition, the parent Eagle Mizonogami and Tiger Fukuda said, "For example, when playing a smartphone social game, there is a mechanism that makes you want to pay for the bill.It is also important. With curiosity and inquiry, I want adults and children to learn the mechanisms in such games. "
"It is not necessary that parents know everything about computers or need to be more familiar than children. Parents only have to enjoy with their children and learn. Adults are on the same playing field as children.Let's keep learning happily! "
In the next article, we asked the two and children of Super Shinjuku and children who took this special course.In this article, you should continue to acquire knowledge to survive the digital society and think about how to use computers and internet for parents and children.
All 3 programs ● Volume of the 1st "Super Shinjuku, I am worried about the education of my child living in the digital era ..." ● Learn how to interact with Digital and PC with parent and child.Volume 3 "Super Shinjuku, I am thrilled about the absorption of children!
