Abstract
This report is a continuation of the previous one. The present report describes a programming education for junior high school students in both application software and embedded systems. Themes of the software and hardware programming were"game" ,"Web-camera" and "robot", respectively. We adopted a beginner’s programming environment Scratch as a common education support tool of software and hardware. The "Web-camera" programming was done using the "video motion sensor" function, an extension of Scratch. Furthermore, educational robot mbot, programmable by the Scratch, is employed for the hardware programming. First, students enjoyed programming their games with the Scratch. In this part, original games by kosen students were presented. Then, they studied how to manipulate and program the web camera and robot easily with the same environment.The results of questionnaire showed that most of the students are satisfied with our education.
