SUMMARY:School Holidays Workshops - Fall 2024
DESCRIPTION:Detailed outlines for the workshop \nMorning Session (Coding\,3D Modelling) \n\nStarting with Tinkercad\nRecap on basic modeling techniques and to refresh memory\nKahoot for a refresher of the beginner course\nNew subject: 1:1 scale modeling (more realistic size)\nExplaining the measurement & units system\n1st task: Finger casing\n\n1:1 measurements of finger and casing\nDrawing hand on a piece of paper to measure perimeters\n\n\nScratch recap/Kahoot\nStudents need to make any game within 10 mins to see what they remember\nFirst task: Clicker game (following class)\n\nUsing variables & math nodes\nCostume changes\, control and events\n\n\n\nAfternoon (robotics) \n\nIntro slides to sphero robots\n\nExplaining how they move\nExplaining and showing how to code\nDemonstration on how to ‘aim’ the robot\n\n\nRunning the code\n1st exercise square (challenge cards) – 2 robots\n\nCoding the robot to move in a square\n\n\nIntroduction to micro bits\n\nExplaining what micro bits are\nShowing students the inner workings of a computer\nInput and outputs\, what they are and how they work\ncomponents of a micro bit board\nGround rules for micro bits\n\n\nGoing to the micro bit website and working on the projects at their own pace\n\nDay 1 \n\n\nIntro to tinkercad 3D modeling \n\n\nLearning how to use the software \n\n\nExploring different models and shapes in tinkercad \n\n\nFirst assignment: designing your own avatar while only using the basic shapes category \n\n\nScratch coding website\, registration \n\n\nIntro to drag and drop coding \n\n\nWarm-up exercise\, explaining how to code your character to move \n\n\nCreate your own maze game (following what the teacher is doing on the board) \n\n\nDay 2 \n\n\nRecap from yesterday\, to refresh minds and recall basic modeling concepts \n\n\nNew assignment for today: designing your own car. \n\n\nTeacher shows example model & model from past students \n\n\nScratch continues from yesterday \n\n\nAdding extra levels to the maze game \n\n\nAdding collectibles and possible timer \n\n\nDay 3 \n\n\nRecap on basic modeling techniques in tinkercad \n\n\nExample model on board for display \n\n\nNew task: designing your dream house \n\n\nExample model from past students \n\n\nBest designed model\, reward \n\n\nFinishing off the maze game\, if not already \n\n\nStarting new game design: asteroid invasion \n\n\nCore variable concepts involved \n\n\nTimer and gradually ringing speed code \n\n\nGame design and professional-looking game art \n\n\nDay 4 \n\n\nNo memory refresh\, students should have learnt all basic skills \n\n\nNew task: building a city \n\n\nExample model on board \n\n\nFinishing off the asteroid invasion game if not already \n\n\nPresenting best game designs of students\, possible rewards \n\n\nNew game designing: shoot’em up game \n\n\nConcepts of variable positioning & character coordination \n\n\nCross interactions with different entities of the game \n\n\nDay 5 \n\n\nKahoot\, to start off with to test student’s memories \n\n\nChallenge task: designing a renewable airport \n\n\nExample displayed on board \n\n\nAdding final touches to all games developed \n\n\nAdding ‘life’ systems to games \n\n\nPolishing final game designs \n\n\nPresenting the best-developed student game \n\n\nAnnouncing student successes and which students get accelerated to blender \n\n\nKahoot to finish off \n\n\nFor registration – https://forms.gle/3ZoNjupZE1dTKekM6 \n  \n
