Achieve Primary Education Goal


In fact, not everyone have the chance to study. Many children in rural areas still suffer from hunger and their parents do not afford to send their children for education. So, we can see that the children are helping out their family to survive and choose to sacrifice their education that may change their life.

So, we have the chance to help out. No matter what is your background, occupations and religions, we need to educate our future generation in the right path.

We care about the education received by the indigenous people or known as Orang Asli in Malaysia. They noticed that the world is keep changing in time, they knew their new generation can be better than before. In that case, they are sending their children to the school to learn at Paloh Hinai, Pahang. This school is fully utilized with primary education level learning equipment and aimed to achieve primary education goal for the indigenous people.

In my opinion, Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) had done a great job in this aspect. There is a workshop held in the university to educate children from single parent family to understand the important of IT and how to interact with Internet in a proper way. The children have chances to learn knowledge using interactive multimedia application at there.

For the future, we may add-in element such as augmented reality into the learning process of primary school. Children can explore more using augmented reality in 3D aspect.

Virtual Reality in testing

Having fun today during Virtual Reality (VR) class.

At least one time, we are having our class outside the lab.
Morning, Sunshine!

For the first time, we learn to play around with a DSLR and a tripod around the lab seriously. (I think so) Our task is to create a panorama that we can interact by moving the cursor within the panorama.

First, take a series of pictures from a single point, rotating around in a circle, plus shots aimed straight up and down and should be generous overlap between adjacent images. Then, merge them using Photoshop. On the other hand, edit them in Panorama software.

Dadada, the output will be in Flash format and etc. Happy to learn something new!

Windows Phone 7 Workshop : Day 2


Day 2.

All desktops can run smoothly. It's a good news.

We start the workshop with heavy rain outside the lab. Quite cold inside! No one noticed that I slow down the air-cond wind speed and increase the temperature. Wuhu~

Puzzle Game app from the training toolkit, we are doing it together line by line so we can understand more about the coding. That's fun!

Lunch Time!
I think Keng Siang need a nice break after a long explanation to the participants. Continue later.

We are back.
I try to help some of the participants on solving their problems of the Puzzle Game app while Keng Siang guides them. Finally, the Puzzle Game app is running! Hooray~

Then, let me try something else. Food?!
Yup. I'm doing Cake House app for my lovely hometown, Klang. Reserved by me.

Thanks for those that support and committed to join the workshop. Really appreciate!
Thanks Keng Siang for coming far from Penang and teach us a lot of his knowledge and experiences during and after he joined Imagine Cup.

Windows Phone 7 Workshop : Day 1



Windows Phone 7 Workshop is finally here!

Wake up early for it. It starts at 10am but I'm awake at 7am. Too excited.

Helping those that can't install their software in their "lappy". Keng Siang is here with us for the workshop, casual wearing. We have a good start with the Windows Phone Rewards. Flask and jacket are inside. Wonder why. Then, Keng Siang introduces the WP7 Beginner task : Silverlight for Windows Phone in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate for us. It is $Money Converter$ using C#.

Silent here and there. Focus.

Intermediate with the navigation and etc. Puzzle Game app is quite simple and easy for understanding. I change my icon and background image too. Yeah!

* Installation for the software is slow... Argh! Try more apps tomorrow.
