  • Code Monkey popular among Bhutanese Kids

    Code Monkey popular among Bhutanese Kids

    In August 2021, Bhutanese students received a game-based coding platform called CodeMonkey as a Royal Soelra from His Majesty the King. The objective was to enhance their coding skills and equip them with 21st Century knowledge and skills. Following this, the Ministry of Education organized a Training of Trainers program on CodeMonkey in January 2022. The training was attended by 47 participants from 20 Dzongkhags and 4 Thromdes, with the primary goal of building teachers’ capacity in terms of ICT and specifically, in using CodeMonkey. This initiative aims to empower Bhutanese youth with digital literacy and equip them for the future workforce, contributing to the country’s development.

    Code Monkey is a fun and educational programming game designed for kids. The game introduces kids to coding concepts, such as loops, functions, and conditionals, in a simple and engaging way. It allows kids to learn coding through interactive gameplay, where they control a monkey character by writing lines of code to solve puzzles. The game is easy to use and doesn’t require any previous coding knowledge. Code Monkey helps kids to develop problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and creativity while having fun. The game is suitable for children aged 8 and up and is an excellent way to introduce them to the exciting world of programming.

    The platform is being initiated by RSSTEM (Royal Society for Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics), DITT (Department of Information Technology & Telecom ), MoE (Ministry of Education) and REC (Royal Education Council) to promote coding education in preparation of Bhutanese youth for the digitalized future.

  • DALE: A Deep Learning Architecture for Generating Photos of Bhutanese Architecture

    DALE: A Deep Learning Architecture for Generating Photos of Bhutanese Architecture

    Bhutanese architecture is renowned for its unique blend of traditional and modern design elements. From ancient temples and fortresses to contemporary residential homes, the architecture of Bhutan reflects the country’s rich cultural heritage and spiritual values. However, capturing the beauty of Bhutanese architecture can be challenging, especially for photographers who are limited by access or budget.

    To address these challenges, a deep learning architecture called DALE (Deep Architecture for Learning Bhutanese Elements) has been developed. This architecture uses a combination of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs) to generate high-quality photos of Bhutanese architecture.

    The DALE architecture consists of two main components: a generator network and a discriminator network. The generator network is responsible for creating new images based on the input data, while the discriminator network evaluates the authenticity of the generated images. The two networks work in tandem to generate realistic images that closely resemble real photos of Bhutanese architecture.

    To train the DALE architecture, a large dataset of real photos of Bhutanese architecture was used. The generator network was trained to produce images that closely resemble the real photos in the dataset, while the discriminator network was trained to distinguish between real and generated images. This process continues until the generator network produces images that are indistinguishable from real photos.

    Once the DALE architecture is trained, it can be used to generate unlimited numbers of photos of Bhutanese architecture. The generated images can be used for various purposes, including architectural visualization, interior design, and even education.

    The DALE architecture offers a new and innovative way of capturing the beauty of Bhutanese architecture. By using deep learning, it generates high-quality photos that closely resemble real photos, providing photographers, architects, and designers with a powerful tool for showcasing Bhutanese architecture.
