Google also developed a narrow AI computer program, Alpha Go, to compete with human professional Go player including Ke Jie, the recognized world’s best Chinese Go player. This not only shows that Go is a popular game, but also indicates the competition between human minds and artificial intelligence. Go is an abstract strategy board game that is very complex and possesses numberless possibilities. Go can help children to strengthen their strategic planning skills as well as logical thinking.

Computer or mobile apps has been a great helper to solve our daily problems. It is always a good idea for children to get involved in computer coding classes so that they would be able to understand what coding is and ultimately solve problems themselves. Problem solving requires high ability in logic reasoning and analysis. Children can not only cultivate logical thinking, but also boost their creativity. Computer coding classes give children the great opportunity to express their creativity. With the knowledge of coding, for example, children who enjoy watching robotic cartoons will be able to control Arduino robot. It sounds impossible to “create a robot ourselves”, but in fact, we are able to do so with technical skills. The usage of electronic products has become part of our lives. We should make good use of the electronic products to stimuli children’s creativity.

Children are taught to be polite, to think from other’s perspective, and to understand the meaning of “thank you” and “sorry”. Table manners is another popular type of etiquette courses that teach the rules while eating. Children would then be able to behave professional on different occasions.
