Initial consideration on designing a system to support science communication and continuous programming learning

Since computers are used everywhere in the current society, it is important that science communication is implemented actively. In addition, it is also important that people actively participate in this and deepen their understanding of science. However, few studies have been done to deeply explore the mechanism of the secondary and tertiary derivation of science communication. Furthermore, programming education has attracted attention as a means of learning computational thinking for every child living in an information society. However, even though children are interested in programming and computer science, the continuous framework of programming education is insufficient. And there is room for consideration about mechanisms and systems that encourage the derivation of science communication in computer science and support continuous learning. In this research, in order to solve the above problems, we have designed and evaluated a cloud-based system that is a place of science communication and support programming learning, exceeding distance and temporal constraints. As the result of research, the proposed system in this paper intended the potentials of promoting the derivation of science communication and supporting continuous programming learning. However, there is room for improvement of the system design and the verification in detail.
