Code.org

Code.org is a Non-Profit program that was made in 2013. It was made to help young people to learn more about coding and making their own games in a fun way. Before we become a professional, we must learn the basics first. The first step is to play the "Hour of Code", games there consists of:

  • Star Wars
  • Minecraft
  • Flappy Bird
  • Infinity Lab
  • Frozen
  • Artist
When?
Hour of Code can be accessed at any time. You can also do it each year during an event called Computer Science education Week

Who?
Hour of Code was originally organised by Hadi Partovi (CEO and Founder)

Where?
You can access The Hour of Code here: https://code.org/ (but you've got to sign in first)

Why?
Because, Hour of Code helps students that wants to learn about coding and found it hard to do so. They can learn in a much easier and more fun way. They use this method called "Blockly" which is an easier way.

How?
How to do the Hour of Code. I will explain one by one of each game/level:

Star Wars

Level 8 (Star Wars)
The Star Wars level was kinda fun, and I must say it wasn't the best level but i still enjoyed it. Star Wars was one of the basic levels for when you first started. There were 15 levels there, on the last level we had to make our own game.

Minecraft
Minecraft was a more challenging game for me, it has more challenge and you really have to think to finish the game. This course has 14 levels. I feel like Minecraft is still on the basic levels

Flappy Bird
Everyone knows that Flappy Bird is a pretty simple game, and the code is a pretty simple code as well! We actually learned how to make this popular fun game! We can also make it unique with our own ideas.

Infinity Lab
The game just got A LOT harder! This time we're working with pixels which sooo hard. It's actually harder than it looks but the game makes it more fun and easier than it actually is.
Level 5 (Infinity Lab)


Frozen
This game was probably the hardest one. I m not that good in angles and this game pretty much is ABOUT angle. So i was pretty bad on this game but i managed to finish it.

Artist
This one is pretty much like Frozen but i think it's easier. We're also dealing with angles on this one but it's much simpler.

Basic Leadership Training

                Hey everyone! A few days ago my class and I went to Sentul, Richie the farmer to do BLT. BLT is “Basic Leadership Training” or some people might call it “LDK” (Latihan Dasar Kepempimpinan). We went there for 3 days, 2 nights. From the 5 November – 7 November. We went there together with a tronton. We started our journey together at Nizamia Andalusia School, 5 – 11 – 15.
                Before we arrive there, we had to walk for about 10-15 minutes, but since we were all carrying heavy bags, it seems a lot longer than it should. We arrived at the place and we all sat down while the “kakak Pembina” from Kaki langit, the outbound organization that we’re using fro BLT, explained about what we are going to do for the next 2 days. The “kakak Pembina’s” names are Kak Ranto, Kak Anto, Kak Agus, Kak Umar, and Kak Roy. After we introduce ourselves to them, we had our welcoming drinks and snacks.
                Richie the farmer was a very peaceful place, the breeze of the wind you can feel anywhere anytime. The view was pretty awesome! With baby cows/calf and a few goats, also there was chickens as well. At first it was really hot, but as the sky gets darker, the wind gets harder. It was really cold at night



We started our first activity, so basically, each person have a paper with their name on it, and that paper is hidden somewhere around there. Each person needs to get their paper as fast as they could, and of course teamwork is allowed, so if one of us found someone else’s paper, we are allowed to tell/give it to them. After each of us found our paper, we look at the paper and there’s a color on it and the color tells us our group. My group’s color was Orange kind of yellow color and consist of Rasya, Abel, Dewa, Salma, and Me. After that we did more activities in groups like, the first one was each group had to make a group song and a group cheer (yel-yel). Then, we had to show everybody the song and the cheer.
The next activity was building/making our own tent. Since there was 6 girls, we divided in to 3. I made my tent with Salma, Nafisa with Mazia and Merrisa with Tara. IT WAS SO HARD! Yes they showed us how to make it before we try to do it. But, when they were making the tent, it looks a lot easier. I guess expectations vs reality. At the end, kak Anto helped me and salma until our tent is done J. As soon as we finished making our tent, the sweet sound of adzan Dzuhur hit our ears. We quickly head to the bamboo not so big “shelter” we call Aula. We did our Dzuhur prayers there. After we finished our praying, kak Umar chose one of the boys to do qultum (Islamic Education/teaching) in front of everyone, the first one up was Abdullah.
Next activity! Since there was only 17 of us we were divided into 2 groups. My group was Mazia, Tara, Adil, Ghifarry, Kamil, Egar, and Abel. We played a game called “ball game”. What you do is there is one plastic ball, then one person will hold that ball, then that person will need to throw another person that ball while saying their name and the person that they’re going to throw the ball to’s name (example: Kamil to Adil) and the person that received the ball say thank you (thank you Kamil) do that over and over again until all the person in the group got they’re change of receiving and throwing the ball. We will see how fast we can finish the game. My group’s high score was about 6 seconds (I think), but unfortunately the other group’s high score was half of a second (I know right! Crazy!). Then, after that game we played “Concentration Game”.
The next one was called Trust fall, like how it sounds, we have to fall down and trust our friends to catch us. At first, I didn’t want to go, but the kak Umar said that everyone have to ha a go at falling. You felt a rush in your heart right before you fall, after you make your first move to start falling the rush stopped and it became a feeling like you just had to trust your friends, then… it’s the relief, your friends just got you. I never thought I would say it, but I want to do it again!
We all rest for a bit, while we wait for adzan Ashar, the sky was crying as small droplets of liquid was falling from the sky, the rain was really hard we had to get inside. We prayed Ashar and we decided to eat first. The food there was pretty good! We prayed Maghrib, then we all played a game called “Pesawat Tempur” and “building Block”, my group won “Building Block”. Then, after sholat Isya, kak Umar taught us how to make a proposal for business. My group made a proposal for “Lebaran Anak Yatim”. When we were making the proposal, suddenly the light turned off, everyone was screaming in shock. We used our flash light to continue writing the proposal. Then, we showed our proposal to everybody. After all the fun of the day, we were all told to sleep. But since it was raining outside, we didn’t sleep in our tent because it was soaking wet. We all slept in the “Aula” in our sleeping bags. Right before we sleep, bu emi gave the girls a surprise of relief, she said that we don’t have to use our “kerudung”/veil for sleeping, YAY!
In the morning, we woke up early to pray tahajud, after that we prayed Subuh. When the sky was brighter, we all went for a walk. We walked past broken houses that was on rent. It was really fun walking in the morning. We stopped our walk right behind prabowo’s house. We had to go back the same way. We were all so hungry by then, we made our own breakfast and my group had toasted bread and Nutella. After we all were filled up, we played a game called “Blind Lead” in this game we had to pair up, I paired up with Salma. I had to guide Salma whose eyes were covered, but I cannot us physical interactions so only sounds. And she has to take the purple straws which are scattered around the field. Then, still with covered eyes, she has to make the sentence “Nizamia Andalusia”. When she Is done, we switch. Salma guide me and I collect the straws.

This post is already long, so I will make a part 2 of it! Thank you for reading My class’s journey!  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Interview: Bapak Haidar Bagir

Hey guys! This post is going to be my midtest. The assignment was to interview someone who own a business. And the more viewers I can gain, the more score I get! Help me share this post to your friends, family, and anyone you could think of. In your Google+, Instagram, Whatsapp, Line, Twitter, and anything at all! It's like they say, "The more the merrier!"

Bapak Haidar was born in Pasar Kliwon District, Surakarta on February 20, 1957. He is the second of eight siblings. His father was Muhammad Bagir bin Hasan al-Habshi, a merchant as well as an Ustadh living in Surakarta. He studied at ITB (Institute Technology Bandung)
Bapak Haidar wasn’t always a successful business man. When he was about to be graduated from ITB, he said he was giving thoughts about his future, how he would earn money since he would have to be independent. At the time, all his needs was fulfilled/provided by his parents. He hoped that as soon as he graduate he would be more independent. So he was thinking of establishing his own business. At that time, working with the government was not one of his choices, he was thinking of becoming an entrepreneur/business man.
He had to find out what would be most suitable for him. And to be a successful business man, you have to work in a place in which you have your passion. Bapak Haidar was someone who likes reading books and writing articles, when he was still a student he started writing articles for newspapers, at the same time, he was also interest in da’wah. After giving some thoughts, he decided to choose book publishing as his business. Since he was also interested in da’wah, his school, ITB has a mosque called Salman mosque (the biggest university mosque in Indonesia), he was an activist there. So, the motivation of doing da’wah was also very strong.
Back to his dream of being a business man, he started to develop his ideas of book publishing. He eventually came to a conclusion that he would establish an Islamic book publishing business.
As I wrote earlier Bapak Haidar’s university mosque was very big, it has many activities, and one of the activity was managing an Islamic library. He was a member of the Islamic library, and after a while, he knew someone who was preparing a publication of an Islamic magazine called Pustaka. At the same time, his acquaintance, who was actually his senior, was preparing an Islamic magazine, and his senior recruited him to be one of the editors of the Islamic magazine.
More than 20 editions of the magazine was successfully published, and Bapak Haidar was working all along to edit the magazines and once in a while he also write articles for the magazine. After a while, Pustaka Salman started to publish books, that’s where bapak Haidar learn to publish books.
The inspiration of having his own publishing company was actually inspired by this activity in Salman Mosque. And he is very sure at that time that his company would succeed financially, because the kind of publishing company that he established was something that is unique if compared to the Islamic companies that had been there before.
The Islamic companies before, was an old style, conventional publishing company. They publish Islamic books with low quality in terms of choice of titles, it was not modern titles, design, layout, and language style. So he was thinking of having his own publishing company with features which were suitable with the demand of the new Muslim middle class (Muslim middle class is people who are Muslims, but at the same time they are financially well to) So this new Muslim middle class, they would like to read Islamic books with much better quality. So that was the kind of Islamic book publishing company that Bapak Haidar prepared and started at 1993.
He started by publishing books with the best quality possible, his company publish books that were the style of what the middle class muslim would like them to be. His company thankfully went very well until now, certainly as any other company we have never been free from problems, and each companies would have its own problems. It happens also to his company. Some book distributors got books from Mizan but then they don’t pay for the books, or some people order books online and promised to pay but turns out they won’t pay for the books. But as Bapak Haidar said “all problems can be solved as long as we work hard, we work smart and we are optimistic, and of course rely on god”
He also always have this vision in his head that his company is going to be a successful company. That vision is what makes him want to work hard to achieve that dream of having a successful company. Since he believed in himself and that Mizan was going to be successful, the problems had never really hurt his company, he overcome them and since he establish the company in 1993 until now, thankfully mizan publishing company has been developing very well.
Of course Mizan also has its best experience, and it is when at they found out that the books they publish really change people. For instance, Mizan were among the first publishing company in Indonesia that introduce books that really revolutionize education in Indonesia. Mizan is also now considered “One of the two biggest publishing companis in Indonesia”.
When Mizan published the first book which was called “ Dialog Sunnah Syiah”, the book got many reviews from national newspapers and magazines in Indonesia. For sure it didn’t come easy, he had to do all that had to be done, not only in guaranteeing the best quality possible in terms of the product, but they also had to do promotions.
So he did everything, he would go meeting famous people and giving them copies of the books that Mizan published. Then they would tell other people that the books are great books, and that they are published by a new publishing company called Mizan. By the words of mouth, people know about this new publishing company that has publish among of the best Islamic books that had been publish in this country.
Once in a while he would make advertisements for newspapers, magazines, and he would conduct a discussion of the launching of their new books. Bapak Haidar makes sure that his company publish the best book possible, at the same time he did whatever he had to do in promoting the books. “From 1993 until now, we got better and better response/acceptance from the markets,” says Bapak Haidar.
He has received some awards as a business man, some of them are: In regards of the books, he was awarded for “Tokoh perbukuan muslim Indonesia” in the year 2006, one of the best CEO’s of Indonesia in 2008, and many more awards. In terms of business, this is the only business he’s involved in.
Everyone’s got to have a favorite book right? Well bapak Haidar’s favorite book that he has ever publish was apparently all of them. Because he said that he will make sure that every books that is published in his company is the best books. Mizan has publish around 15.000 books.
As I mentioned earlier, Bapak Haidar also likes writing, he has written a more than 10 Books. Other than books, did I mention that Mizan also produced films, music, E-books, and even apps that you can find in Apple store, Play Store and many more? Well they do!
Mizan started producing films at around 2008, and they have produced 16 movies. “Laskar Pelangi” was the first movie they ever produced and until today the movie is watched by audiences from around the globe. Mizan have produced a movie called “3 hati 2 dunia 1 cinta” the movie won 7 “Piala Citra”. Other than that Mizan also has produced movies that attract big number of viewers including, “Garuda di Dadaku”, “Emak ingin naik Haji”, “Perahu Kertas”, and the last movie that they produce was “Mencari Hilal”.
So what we can actually learn from Bapak Haidar is that “Think Smart, work hard, work smart, think optimistic and never give up”. Don’t give up easily on your dreams guys! Act fast, before someone took your opportunity!
Thanks for Reading! :)
