女孩子做项目管理的发展
“I’m bored!” Two words that any parent dreads hearing on a dull Sunday afternoon, entertaining your kids when they’ve run out of goombas to hop on in Mario isn’t always as easy as throwing an iPad their way and hoping for the best. Luckily, nowadays there are plenty of at-home computing projects you can use to give your up-and-coming geeks a chance to not only have fun building their own computers, but also to learn in-depth information about subjects like computer hardware, software, programming and mechanical engineering all in the same place.
“我很无聊！” 任何父母在一个沉闷的星期天下午都不会听到的两个词，当孩子用完了冈巴舞后在马里奥跳来跳去时，娱乐您的孩子并不总是像扔iPad并希望获得最好的那样容易。 幸运的是，当今有许多家用计算项目，您可以使用它们来给新锐的极客们一个机会，让他们不仅有机会建造自己的计算机，而且还可以学习有关计算机硬件等主题的深入信息，软件，编程和机械工程都在同一个地方。
Here’s our selection of some of the best computing kits made for kids and parents to share and learn with together (and yes, almost all of them will play Minecraft).
这是我们为孩子和父母提供的一些最佳计算工具包供您选择，以便他们一起分享和学习(是的，几乎所有的工具包都可以玩Minecraft)。
树莓派 (Raspberry Pi)
First up, we’ve got the most obvious pick of the bunch: the Raspberry Pi.
首先，我们有最明显的选择：Raspberry Pi。
The Pi is a dirt-cheap minimalist PC that no one really knew they needed until they got their hands on one. This is a low-key computer that skimps on extra features like a big, clunky processor or huge noisy fans in favor of compact, easy-to-install parts and a proprietary “Raspbian” operating system that encourages educational inquiry above all else. The Raspberry Pi is unique in its ability to fascinate kids and adults in equal fashion, filled with hundreds of out-of-the-box opportunities that helps the kids learn like the adults and lets the adults feel like kids again.
Pi是一款非常便宜的极简主义PC，直到他们真正接触到它们之前，没人真正知道他们的需要。 这是一台低调的计算机，它会跳过一些额外的功能，例如笨拙的大型处理器或嘈杂的风扇，以支持紧凑，易于安装的部件以及专有的“ Raspbian”操作系统，从而鼓励进行教育性探究。 Raspberry Pi具有独特的能力，可以以相等的方式吸引孩子和成年人，其中包括数百种开箱即用的机会，可以帮助孩子像成年人一样学习，并使成年人再次像孩子一样。
Rather than continue to ramble on about how awesome the system is myself, I’ll leave it up to How-To Geek’s resident Raspberry Pi expert Jason Fitzpatrick and his series of guides to list a few projects that all members of the family can enjoy together either as a team, or just one-on-one with any aspiring computer scientists who happen to be in the room:
与其继续讨论系统本身的功能，不如将它留给How-To Geek的Raspberry Pi专家Jason Fitzpatrick及其一系列指南，列出一些计划，让家庭中的所有成员共同享受与团队中的任何一位有抱负的计算机科学家进行团队合作，或者一对一：
How to Run Low-Cost Minecraft on a Raspberry Pi for Block Building on the Cheap
As you can tell, the Pi is jam-packed with project possibilities that strike a fine balance between a low skill ceiling required for entry, alongside a much deeper system of customization and modular add-ons waiting on the back end. “Easy to learn, difficult to master” should be the company logo by this point, as more people find and share their latest and greatest ideas for the little system that could.
如您所知，Pi充满了项目可能性，可以在入门所需的低技能上限与更深层次的定制系统和在后端等待的模块化附加组件之间取得很好的平衡。 至此，“易学，难于掌握”应该成为公司的标志，因为越来越多的人发现并分享了他们对可能的小型系统的最新，最伟大的想法。
The most recent version of Pi is the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, released earlier this year. It can be found on Amazon for just under $40 at base, while upgrade modules will cost anywhere from $15 to $150 depending on how tricked out you want your mini-PC to be.
Pi的最新版本是今年早些时候发布的Raspberry Pi 2 ModelB。 它可以在亚马逊上以不到40美元的价格找到 ，而升级模块的价格从15美元到150美元不等，具体取决于您希望迷你PC的欺骗程度。
鹿野 (Kano)
If you took everything we already love about the Raspberry Pi and streamlined all of it for the express purpose of teaching kids more about how computing and coding works, what comes out on the other side might look a whole lot like the Kano.
如果您花了我们已经爱上的Raspberry Pi的所有内容，并且简化了所有内容，目的是明确地教孩子们更多有关计算和编码的工作方式，那么另一面看起来可能像Kano一样 。
First launched on the crowd-funding site Kickstarter, Kano is “a computer that anyone can make”, according to the project’s co-founder and CEO Yonatan Raz-Fridman. In an interview about his company, Fridman says the Kano was built to remove the boundary that exists between kids who are interested in computers, and the appropriate resources available to let that interest flourish in today’s learning curriculum. To surmount that gap, the Kanos is made just as much for the classroom as it is your living room. Components for the Kano fit together as easy as Lego, crammed inside a clear case that lets any upstart hardware designer see the fruits of their labor in action as it buzzes, beeps, and whirs to life.
据该项目的联合创始人兼首席执行官Yonatan Raz-Fridman称，Kano首次在众筹网站Kickstarter上推出，是“任何人都可以制造的计算机”。 弗里德曼(Fridman)在接受有关公司的采访时表示，卡诺(Kano)的建立是为了消除对计算机感兴趣的孩子之间存在的界限，并利用适当的资源使这种兴趣在当今的学习课程中蓬勃发展。 为了弥补这一差距，Kanos不仅可以作为教室，也可以作为您的客厅。 Kano的组件可以像Lego一样容易地组装在一起，并塞在一个透明的盒子里，让任何暴发户硬件设计师都能在嗡嗡声，嗡嗡声和栩栩如生的生命中看到他们的工作成果。
And don’t worry: like any computing product that’s released with the under-10 market in mind, the Kano does run Minecraft. In fact – predicting that this would be the very first thing a kid would want to do once the Kano successfully boots up for the first time – the programmers behind it incorporated a whole list of Minecraft-centric coding challenges that tricks them into learning programming around the frame of playing one of their favorite games.
不用担心：就像任何针对10岁以下市场发布的计算产品一样，Kano 确实运行Minecraft。 实际上–预测这将是Kano首次成功启动后孩子想要做的第一件事–它背后的程序员结合了以Minecraft为中心的编码挑战的全部清单，从而诱使他们学习周围的编程知识玩他们最喜欢的游戏之一的框架。
Through a series of preset tasks, kids can navigate through their virtual world and build various towers and castles not just by throwing down blocks willy nilly, but through an intuitive coding system that Kano uses to encourage kids to learn about the basic structure that makes languages like Java and C# work. Think of it like “Mario Typing” for the next generation of kids entering the nearest STEM program.
通过一系列预设任务，孩子们不仅可以扔掉威尔尼·尼利(Willy nilly)的积木，而且可以通过卡诺(Kano)用来鼓励孩子们学习构成语言的基本结构的直观编码系统，在虚拟世界中导航并建造各种塔楼和城堡像Java和C＃一样工作。 对于下一代进入最近的STEM程序的孩子，可以将其视为“ Mario Typing”。
Starter kits for an individual Kano retails for $99 (with $19 shipping for US customers), while their new “Screen Kit” (which, as the name implies, teaches kids about what makes LCD flatscreens work) can be tacked on for an additional $120.
单个Kano入门套件的零售价为99美元 (美国客户运费为19美元)，而其新的“屏幕套件”(顾名思义，可以告诉孩子液晶平板显示器的工作原理)可以额外支付120美元。
乐高头脑风暴 (LEGO Mindstorms)
You can imagine my surprise when in researching this article, I thought I’d dig up a relic from my own childhood to see if it was still alive and kicking. Lo and behold, the team at Lego is still happily churning out refreshed versions of its “Mindstorm” brand, a series of build-it/code-it modules that give kids the ability to not only make their own robot, but also learn how to tell it what to do as it rolls, tumbles, and wobbles around their house.
您可以想像我在研究本文时感到惊讶，我以为我会从童年时期挖出一个文物，看看它是否还活着并在踢。 瞧，乐高团队仍然很高兴地推出其“ Mindstorm”品牌的更新版本，该系列是一系列构建/编码模块，使孩子们不仅能够制造自己的机器人，还可以学习如何告诉它在房屋周围滚动，翻滚和摆动时该怎么做。
Known to today’s kids as “that thing that was like Minecraft before Minecraft”, the latest “EV3” iteration of the nearly two-decade block-building kit teaches kids how to program their robots to go on adventures of their very own, all coded in realtime over a wireless or Bluetooth connection. For every step the robot takes or can of soda it delivers, paths must be carefully planned out well in advance to ensure the best chances of mission success, reinforcing some of the most basic concepts inherent to a proper programming mindset.
将近十年的积木构建套件的最新“ EV3”迭代版本被当今的孩子们称为“在Minecraft之前的Minecraft之类的东西”，它教孩子们如何对机器人进行编程，以进行自己的冒险，所有代码通过无线或蓝牙连接实时进行。 对于机器人采取的步骤或汽水罐送出的汽水，必须提前精心规划路径，以确保任务成功的最佳机会，从而增强适当编程思想固有的一些最基本概念。
This combination of coding and mechanical engineering is a heady cocktail that can fool even the most learning-adverse kids into thinking about machines, and the chips that power them, in all new and surprising ways. The LEGO Mindstorm EV3 kit starts at $349.99, and goes up from there depending on the model you choose and the number of sensors (everything from IR to GPS) it needs attached.
编码和机械工程的结合是令人兴奋的鸡尾酒，它甚至可以使愚蠢的最学习不良的孩子以各种新颖且令人惊讶的方式思考机器以及为机器提供动力的芯片。 乐高Mindstorm EV3套件的起价为349.99美元 ，并根据所选择的型号和所需的传感器数量(从红外到GPS的所有参数)从那里提高。
英特尔NUC (Intel NUCs)
If you were one of the readers who caught our article on Intel’s NUC (Next Unit of Computing) boxes last month, you already know that these tiny DIY PCs offer up the perfect combination of simplicity and power into a chassis that’s not much larger than a few decks of cards stacked together. Clipped together piece by piece, every NUC comes as a kit of separate parts that need to be assembled in just the right order before it turns on, including a hard drive, RAM, and any operating system you plan on using. Equipped with Iris HD graphics, NUCS also happen to be the most powerful of the mini-PCs here, which means that anyone who might want to play a game that involves some sort of crafting of different materials (perhaps like those you might find in a mine) will have the chance to do so, but they’ll also have to read the instructions on putting the whole thing together first.
如果您是上个月在我们的英特尔NUC(下一代计算单元)包装盒上找到我们文章的读者之一，您已经知道这些小型DIY PC可以将简单性和功能性完美地结合到一个机箱中，而这个机箱并不比台式机大很多。几叠纸牌堆叠在一起。 每个NUC都被切成碎片，作为一个套件，包含独立的零件，需要在打开之前以正确的顺序进行组装，包括硬盘驱动器，RAM和计划使用的任何操作系统。 配备了Iris HD图形的NUCS恰好也是这里迷你计算机中功能最强大的，这意味着任何想要玩涉及各种材料的手工制作游戏的人(也许就像您在我的)将有机会这样做，但他们还必须阅读有关首先将整个内容放在一起的说明。
If we had to pin make-your-own NUCs down on the scale of technical difficulty, it would be fair to say they’re about two steps above a Kano, but still a few leagues under a full-on DIY desktop undertaking. Prices on NUCs vary greatly depending on the model you eventually decide on, from $100 for a simple Celeron setup up to $500 for a full-fledged quad-core i7. That said, no matter how much money you spend, they’re always going to show up on your doorstep in several different pieces that all need to be snapped and screwed together by hand before anyone’s punching any pixelated trees to up their wood supply.
如果我们不得不将自己的NUC限制在技术难度的范围内，可以公平地说，它们比Kano高出两步，但在DIY台式机的全面承接下仍然要落后几个联盟。 NUC的价格差异很大，具体取决于最终确定的型号，从简单的赛扬设置的100美元到成熟的四核i7的500美元。 就是说，无论您花多少钱，它们总是会出现在您家门口的几块不同的碎片中，所有这些碎片都需要用手将其扣紧并拧在一起，然后再有人将任何像素化的树木打Kong以增加木材供应。
The end result of this setup process will leave your child with the knowledge of what parts go where in a PC, and what makes devices like their iPad tick. Plus, they get a PC that’s both cheap and durable enough to give you a little more peace of mind the next time there’s grape juice on the desk and a certain someone hasn’t perfected their range of motion on a mouse just yet. To hit a balance of just enough power to run most games (educational or otherwise) on higher settings with a medium-sized budget, we recommend the NUC 5i5RYH, which at $349 boasts an impressive Intel HD Iris 6000 chip as well as an ultra-efficient i5-5250U dual-core processor as a part of the total package.
设置过程的最终结果将使您的孩子了解PC上的哪些部件以及iPad等设备的运行状况。 另外，他们所购买的PC既便宜又耐用，足以使您下次在办公桌上摆满葡萄汁时又能放心一些，而且某些人还没有完善鼠标的运动范围。 为了在中等大小的预算下达到足以在较高设置下运行大多数游戏(教育版或其他版本)的足够能力， 我们建议使用NUC 5i5RYH ，它的售价为349美元，具有令人印象深刻的Intel HD Iris 6000芯片以及超强的高效的i5-5250U双核处理器作为总包装的一部分。
自己动手的PC (Do-It-Yourself PC)
Both the Raspberry Pi and the NUC offer a baseline introduction into the world of computing, but if your “little” one is just on the cusp of being not-so-little anymore it might be time for the two of you to dive in on a full-fledged DIY PC.
Raspberry Pi和NUC都提供了计算世界的基础介绍，但是如果您的“小”玩意儿已经不再那么小了，那么也许你们两个人就该开始学习了。完善的DIY PC。
I know I wouldn’t be the geek I am today if my dad hadn’t sat me down in our garage when I was nine to help me build my first PC, and from then on it was love at first sight. If you think your kids are at the point where they’ll be able to understand where the big pieces go and the do’s and don’ts of proper power management, building an actual computer can be a fascinating journey down the rabbit hole for would-be engineers who maintain a healthy curiosity about what’s actually going on in the guts of a true gaming desktop.
我知道，如果我父亲九岁的时候没有让我坐在我们的车库里来帮助我建立自己的第一台PC，那么我就不会成为今天的怪胎，从那时起，这就是一见钟情。 如果您认为您的孩子正处在能够理解大型设备去向，正确电源管理应该做和不应该做的关键点，那么建造一台实际的计算机可能是一次有趣的冒险之旅，成为对真正的游戏台式机胆量保持真正好奇心的工程师。
Obviously of all the options here, going this route will set you back the furthest depending on how tricked-out you think their eventual PC should be. But, even though prices to build a desktop from scratch can cost anywhere from the sub-$400 range all the way up to a few thousand at checkout, of this selection they’re by far the most future-proof investment you can make to get your kid, teenager, or soon-to-be MIT graduate excited about the potential that careers in computing and technology can have.
显然，在这里所有的选择中，走这条路线会使您回到最远的位置，这取决于您认为他们最终的PC应该如何被欺骗。 但是，即使从头开始构建台式机的价格可能从400美元以下到结帐时的几千美元不等，但在这些选择中，它们是迄今为止您可以进行的最具前瞻性的投资您的孩子，少年或即将毕业的MIT毕业生对计算机和技术职业所具有的潜力感到兴奋。
Of course, these are just a few of the many different independent projects out there that give any kid (or kid at heart) the tools and knowledge they’ll need to understand the basics of today’s technology. And though most of these DIY computers may just look like a means to a Minecraftian end for your kids and their friends, they’re all still innovative tools that you can pull out in a pinch to spark your children’s interest in engineering, programming, or general computing for their road ahead.
当然，这些只是众多独立项目中的少数几个，这些独立项目可以为任何一个孩子(或一个真正的孩子)提供了解当今技术基础所需的工具和知识。 尽管大多数此类DIY电脑看起来像是Minecraftian为您的孩子和他们的朋友们制作游戏的一种手段，但它们仍然都是创新工具，您可以紧紧抓住这些机会，激发孩子们对工程，编程或编程的兴趣。面向未来的通用计算。
