Part 1 - Introduction to 3Doodler 

Participants are introduced to the basic concept of 3D printing. They will also learn about the basic parts and functions of the 3Doodler.

Participants will be able to understand and identify the features and functions of the 3Doodler. Following this, they will learn how to insert and extrude filaments out. They will then reverse the filament out of the 3Doodler and trim the melted end to prepare it for reuse.

Part 2 - Demonstration

Following this activity, participants will be able to identify proper materials and surfaces to 3Doodle on, how to use the 3Doodler to trace a stencil, and weld the pieces together to transform a two-dimensional piece into a three-dimensional model. Participants will also use the 3Doodler to create a three-dimensional model using the freehand technique by starting on paper and drawing up into the air to create a free-standing structure.

Part 3 - Imagine, Design, Doodle

Participants will be able to create and explore the concepts and techniques that have been taught while creating their very own 3D Model!

Build and Battle using Arduino and Scratch 2.0

Coding has been identified as one of the basic skills for anyone besides Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. It has become increasingly important for even non-technically proficient people - when computers, embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) finally touch all walks of life. Making is also becoming a very important skill. Just working in the virtual world of coding is quickly becoming insufficient.

The ability to build physical objects - by combining software, hardware and artwork, stretches one's imagination to invent.

This workshop focuses on graphical programming, and participants will experience and appreciate the behavior of robot sensors and autonomy. By learning through mBot, mBlock and Scratch - participants will have a very fun session of building, programming and enhancing.

The mBot brain is based on an open platform Arduino processor board. This workshop will be concluded with a fun balloon battle game!

The workshop is designed to let participants observe the phenomena of the project outcome. Explore and learn the principles behind the phenomena. Finally experimenting through hands-on how to apply the principles to alter the outcome.

This course is a good prerequisite to the 4-part Competition Prep.
