December Junior Robotics Workshop

 DECEMBER HOLIDAY JUNIOR ROBOTICS WORKSHOP  


The Junior Robotics Course is a 4-hour course that allows the participants to bring the Robotics set home after the course.

The course uses the HunaRobo "Fun & Bot (Purple)" set and each set comes with a remote control that allows up to 7 different channels (7 users controlling 7 robots at the same time).

The course aims to teach pupils to:

1) Build a robot that is attached with wheels

2) Modify a built robot to stabilise it for remote control.

3) Programme a robot to receive signals from the remote controller.

4) Build a 4-wheeled remote control car using the available parts.

5) Participate in Robo Warz in a 1vs1 or 2vs2 format on a 1.3m by 1.8m I-shaped playfield.

6) Strategise and modify their respective robot to maximise their chances of victory.

September PSLE Science Intensive Revision

PSLE SCIENCE INTENSIVE REVISION WORKSHOP IN SEPT

Course Description:

This is a 20-hour course that will help to prepare the students for the coming PSLE exams. The course will comprise of the following components:

1. Daily mock exam practice:

Students will get to sit through a full paper (Booklet A and B) and trained to manage their time and work under exam-like condition on a daily basis. Booklet A will be marked and graded immediately and detailed feedback will be provided, together with an extension set booklet. The extension booklet will comprise of follow-up questions, key concepts and notes on selected key questions from Booklet A.

Booklet B will be marked and graded by the instructor and returned on the following day. In-depth discussion will be conducted and feedback will focus on answering techniques and identification of key concepts. All notes and answering techniques highlighted during the discussions will be provided for the pupils at the end of each session.

2. HOT Talk:
Every session will begin with a component called HOT (Higher Order Thinking) Talk. This is essentially a discussion-based component where students will be exposed to selected challenging questions that requires novel application of concepts. Ability to think out of the box and tackle the challenging questions will certainly place the students a cut above the rest and enhance their chances of aceing the science paper!

Date: 5 September -- 10 September 2011 (6 sessions)
Time: 2.00 pm -- 5.30pm (3.5 hr)
Fees: $600 nett


Flexi-Workshop:

Date: 5 Sept -- 7 Sept
Time: 2.00pm -- 5.30pm
Fees: $300 nett

Date: 8 Sept -- 10 Sept
Time: 2.00pm -- 5.30pm

Registration closes on: 3 September 2011.

September Junior Robotics Workshop

FREE ROBOTICS KIT WORTH MORE THAN $100 UPON SIGNUP !


BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND !

Tinkerlab is offering a junior robotics workshop this September holidays. The junior robotics workshop fees is inclusive of a robotics kit worth more than $100!

This means that your child's learning experience with us will not end after the 2-day robotics workshop. Instead, your child will get to continue exploring the kit and experiment with constructing different robots.

Having a personal robotics kit during the workshop also means that your child will not end up wasting time and will be fully involved with hands-on construction. Your child's learning at TinkerLab will be maximised.

Date: 8 & 9 September (Thursday & Friday)
Time: 2pm -- 5pm
Fees: $200 nett (inclusive of robotics kit)

You can sign up easily through our online registration form. Yes, everything done within a few clicks!

July Robotics - Robo Soccer

Remote Control Crane

P3 tuition - Classification of Leaves

Pupils were given an appendix showing different types of leaves, After a discussion about the different types of edges the leaves have, it was hands-on time! Yes! Making leaf models using clay!
After making the clay models, pupils continued to work on a short writeup to transform their leaf models into a mini science exhibit.

Touching up on the science exhibit display
DONE ! :)

More mini exhibits coming up in subsequent lessons!
Learning biology need not always be through rote learning :)

Junior Robotics: Fun and Bot (Purple) - Prototype Crane

I spent about 45 minutes building the first prototype for this robotic crane.
This is the third prototype after I made two major changes one at a time.

The controls allow me to swivel the crane above the tower.
But for my first prototype, I've affixed the motor below the tower.
That prevented me from doing a 720-degree swivel (2 rotations) as the wire will get caught with the tower.
After I swopped the motor's position above the tower, the centre of gravity (CG) became higher.
I need a stronger base to support the torque from the motor so I built and enhanced the base as well as the position of my second motor.
I used a longer string to try out some crazy ideas.
The string gets caught in both my motor and the pulley at the front tip.
The string gets entangled at the axle of the motor.
It also slipped out of the front pulley.
These call for a modification for the pulley and the motor.
I need some sort of guard for both the motor and the pulley.
Fourth prototype completed but I've yet to post the picture.

Drop some comments in this post or the cBox if you want to see the guard for the motor and the pulley.

Stay tuned!

The crane design will be taught in the upcoming Robotics course for the juniors.
