New learning style by kids for kids: Soto Yamauchi at TEDxKids@Chiyoda
-
0:18 - 0:20I am the the first prize winner
-
0:20 - 0:23of a programing contest last year.
-
0:23 - 0:25So, I am a little programmer.
-
0:26 - 0:29Today, I will show you
-
0:29 - 0:32a revolutionary new learning style
-
0:32 - 0:34from my experience.
-
0:35 - 0:36Since I was very young,
-
0:36 - 0:41I've loved making things.
-
0:41 - 0:44and I was always
playing with blocks and bricks. -
0:46 - 0:47When I was 6,
-
0:47 - 0:50my father gave me an old PC,
-
0:50 - 0:54and I enjoyed making
stop-motion animation, -
0:54 - 0:57newsletters, and so on with that PC.
-
0:58 - 1:02I was about 8, I made this.
-
1:13 - 1:17(Applause)
-
1:20 - 1:23At the age of 10, I went to a library,
-
1:23 - 1:27and I came across a book on programing.
-
1:28 - 1:31When you look at this, what do you see?
-
1:32 - 1:35It attracted me so much,
-
1:35 - 1:39because it looked like a magic wand.
-
1:39 - 1:43If I got it, I can make anything I like.
-
1:44 - 1:48I've been into programming since then.
-
1:48 - 1:50And now,
I'm a junior high school student. -
1:54 - 1:55One morning,
-
1:55 - 1:59I happened to see some impressive news.
-
1:59 - 2:02It said, Japanese Prime Minister,
-
2:02 - 2:03Shinzo Abe's government,
-
2:03 - 2:05proposed a slogan.
-
2:05 - 2:07It's called the "Three Arrows".
-
2:07 - 2:10The first, Bold Monetary Policy.
-
2:10 - 2:13The second, Flexible and Fiscal Policy.
-
2:13 - 2:16The third, Growth Strategy.
-
2:17 - 2:21To achieve the Growth Strategy, he said,
-
2:21 - 2:24I.T strategy will continue
to be a major pillar -
2:24 - 2:27of his growth strategy into the future.
-
2:28 - 2:30Then I thought,
-
2:30 - 2:34"What can I do for our world
as a little programmer?" -
2:34 - 2:37After hearing the third policy,
-
2:39 - 2:41I found the answer.
-
2:41 - 2:42That is,
-
2:42 - 2:45I should share my programming skills
-
2:45 - 2:47and knowledge with kids.
-
2:47 - 2:48I should make
-
2:48 - 2:51an easy programming workshop for kids.
-
2:51 - 2:53But,
-
2:53 - 2:56what kind of programming workshop
-
2:56 - 2:57should I make?
-
2:58 - 3:01We can teach how to program to the kids.
-
3:02 - 3:05Who understand about kids the most?
-
3:05 - 3:07Parents?
-
3:07 - 3:08No.
-
3:08 - 3:09Teachers?
-
3:09 - 3:10No.
-
3:11 - 3:13It's kids.
-
3:14 - 3:16Because we belong to the same generation,
-
3:16 - 3:20so we can share
our skill and knowledge as an equal. -
3:22 - 3:26After I reached this answer,
I moved forward. -
3:27 - 3:30At first, I introduced
the fun of programming -
3:30 - 3:32to my classmates.
-
3:32 - 3:36And as I conveyed my thought,
-
3:36 - 3:37they agreed with me
-
3:37 - 3:41that we made programming group named -
-
3:41 - 3:43"It is IT".
-
3:44 - 3:47We named it because we hope that
-
3:47 - 3:50it is I.T that will be useful as a tool
-
3:50 - 3:53for us to learn much more in the future.
-
3:55 - 3:57And we use the phrase:
-
3:57 - 3:59"Programming Workshop of the Kids,
-
3:59 - 4:01by the kids,
-
4:01 - 4:02for the kids"
-
4:02 - 4:03as our slogan.
-
4:04 - 4:08Teachers also agreed to
our plan and cheered. -
4:09 - 4:12Their attitude encouraged us so much.
-
4:15 - 4:16Last month,
-
4:16 - 4:19we held the programming workshop for kids
-
4:19 - 4:21at our school festival.
-
4:24 - 4:28We used a programming language
called "Scratch", -
4:28 - 4:31and explained how to make a game.
-
4:34 - 4:36It was a huge success.
-
4:37 - 4:40Participants made their own game
-
4:40 - 4:42and enjoyed programming.
-
4:44 - 4:45Not only teenagers,
-
4:45 - 4:48but also kindergarten children and adults
-
4:48 - 4:50came to join our workshop.
-
4:52 - 4:54Now, I believe,
-
4:54 - 4:59there are some things that only kids can do.
-
5:01 - 5:04Today, I spoke about
my programming workshop, -
5:05 - 5:07but it's just an example.
-
5:07 - 5:09This new learning style -
-
5:09 - 5:11kids sharing with kids -
-
5:11 - 5:13will be useful in other fields, too.
-
5:15 - 5:17Please look at this picture.
-
5:17 - 5:19Green circle represents a teacher,
-
5:19 - 5:23and yellow triangle represents the kids.
-
5:23 - 5:27Nowadays, it's more common for adults
-
5:27 - 5:29to do all of their teaching.
-
5:30 - 5:31Yet I believe,
-
5:31 - 5:34kids have their special abilities too.
-
5:35 - 5:38And it is kids, like me,
-
5:38 - 5:40that can help other kids gain
-
5:40 - 5:42more skills and knowledge.
-
5:44 - 5:47Kids sharing with kids, in fact,
-
5:47 - 5:50may be the easiest way for kids to learn.
-
5:51 - 5:55Because learning happens
while having fun. -
5:56 - 5:59So I would like to ask for help
-
5:59 - 6:01to spread this new learning style.
-
6:02 - 6:03And we need
-
6:04 - 6:07the chance to share our information
-
6:08 - 6:12and support of teachers, parents
-
6:12 - 6:14and other adults.
-
6:14 - 6:17So please believe in
-
6:17 - 6:20our skills,
-
6:20 - 6:23in our knowledge,
-
6:23 - 6:25and most importantly,
-
6:25 - 6:27in our possibilities.
-
6:28 - 6:29Thank you.
-
6:30 - 6:31(Applause)
