2.4 Field Activity¶
Special Guest Bartholomew Ting from Singapore Lab¶
Participates in Makers Faires Uses cardobard to make larger versions of things. Some schools are doing celebrations and are looking for something that is visually eye catching. Other ideas - art activities, robots, etc Bartholowmew TIng made a well known whale built in Bhutan Bhutan Whale

My Field Activity/Lesson Plan¶
Curriculum Standards - Massachusetts CCSS Geometry 2.G A. Reason with shapes and their attributes. Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces.12 Identify triangles, squares, rectangles, rhombuses, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. Geometry 3.G A. Reason with shapes and their attributes. Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Compare and classify shapes by their sides and angles (right angle/non-right angle). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, squares, and trapezoids as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
Oulu’s Lab¶
This mobile fablab is temporarily located in a bunker at Oulu University
The Tools - Traveling Fablab¶
These containers hold equiptment that is brought to schools around the city of Oulu
The Process¶
I designed and designed and designed and after many attempts resulting in floating numbers off the grid and reversed plans I met Ivan! I learned a few important techniques to drop objects onto the ‘workplane,’ how to align and reduce the size of projects to allow for shorter print time. Additionally, putting a surface under your object and the material can make a difference in the outcome.
