Eg.
-Execution of SOW
-Resources Self-Created/provided
-Student Learning Outcome(Did the student learned as intended?)
-Workshop Environment/Tools]]> 2021-11-02 02:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860366104 Simon:Plus - Students are keen in making the night lamp. Most enjoy the soldering process https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860368589 2021-11-02 02:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860368589 Simon:Minus - A bit rushing. Need to cater for another hour. Using hot glue is too messy. https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860369561 JK: we will prepare opaque light colour acrylic to hide the mess. Will have to teach students to use hot glue neatly]]> 2021-11-02 02:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860369561 Cynthia M -Project timeline abit tight. Needed to conduct extra lessons in order to finish the prototype on time. (3-4hrs depending on each class that miss,recorded by JT) https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860370162 2021-11-02 02:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860370162 Eric - Soldering Mr_Eric_Lee https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860371294 Finds it challenging to assess this component other than it is working or not. Perhaps can consider not assessing the soldering component of the project. (JT: we will continue to assess the prototype as a whole, instead of just looking at the PCB)]]> 2021-11-02 02:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860371294 Simon: I - They have a choice to make it 3D .. another layer of acrylic. They can also make a stand https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860372113 2021-11-02 02:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860372113 Cynthia P-interesting project, students enjoy the making of the prototype https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860372585 2021-11-02 02:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860372585 Eric - Wiring Mr_Eric_Lee https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860378112 Using black tape to insulate the wires is not feasible. Would propose to use the heat shrink tape for better insulation. This would mean that the soldering of the LED and the LDR would require the students to solder properly. (JT: will advice the instructors to use heat shrink insulation if needed, not insulation tape)]]> 2021-11-02 02:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860378112 TH:Manageable and interesting. The use of iPad has made collection of scripts less tedious. Given more time, we can allow students to be more creative. E.g adding a stand, hung on the wall, etc. young_tsui_hwa https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860383201 2021-11-02 02:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860383201 Eric - Improvement Mr_Eric_Lee https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860384479 How the LEDs and LDR is secured right now using Hot glue does not look good. Exposed wires running behind the acrylic can be messy. Currently no solution to this issue.]]> 2021-11-02 02:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860384479 Cynthia M- Not enough tools in workshops at times and students preferred to wait till machine is available. https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860390229 2021-11-02 02:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860390229 Eric - Journal Work Mr_Eric_Lee https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860397960 I: Can include more guided opportunities for students to sketch especially in the area of ideation and development.]]> 2021-11-02 02:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860397960 Eric - Prototype Mr_Eric_Lee https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860409200 Cutting curves of insects can be challenging to some students. Could have existing templates to help students who are unable to come up with their own design.
Can have pre-cut pieces like small circles etc for students to use as legs of the insect etc.
Work towards the idea of a well-finished prototype that students are proud of.]]> 2021-11-02 02:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1860409200 Simon: Plus - students enjoyed getting their hands dirty https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883077404 2021-11-11 02:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883077404 Simon: Minus - Nil https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883078814 2021-11-11 02:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883078814 Simon: Plus - good to reinforce the designing https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883079736 2021-11-11 02:58:49 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883079736 Simon: Plus - students enjoyed making the metal workpiece https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883081085 2021-11-11 02:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883081085 Eric Mr_Eric_Lee https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883083547 Plus: Good intro to D&T. Simple and basic processes for students to get engaged.

Minus: The wooden dowels tend to be quite challenging for students to get it to the correct length and rounding the end.

Interesting: Some students want to do it in landscape mode and they went ahead to make it work by modifying the stand and the position of the wooden dowels.]]> 2021-11-11 03:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883083547 Simon: Minus - the students are afraid of using the scroll saw. Some minor injuries occured. The scroll saw guides always slide down despite EWI's efforts https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883083673 2021-11-11 03:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883083673 Simon Minus: NIL https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883087264 2021-11-11 03:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883087264 https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883089741 Cynthia - Good basic project to get students started in familiarise with basic tools. ]]> 2021-11-11 03:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883089741 Eric Mr_Eric_Lee https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883094449 Plus: Good to implement the design on a mock-up 

Minus: Work completed is in the form of a mock-up foam board. Might have to link how the model leads up to a final prototype. Foam board mock-up is of low quality and students don't have the "feel good completion" feel.

Interesting: Students may use the 2 foam boards in their own ways other than just joining them together to form a thicker board.]]> 2021-11-11 03:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883094449 https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883094759 Cynthia - minus- limited hand tools like try squares and marking knives (only 10 or less sets). students wasted precious time ]]> 2021-11-11 03:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883094759 Tsui Hwa Plus - A good starting project to acclimatise them to the use of tools and machines young_tsui_hwa https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883096342 2021-11-11 03:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883096342 https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883103703 Cynthia- good start to intro modelling to students
Minus - need to look into how to create nice hole on the foam board and  some pen knives are rusty.]]> 2021-11-11 03:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883103703 Tsui Hwa : Plus - Good project for mock-up.

Minus: Some students have ambitious designs and are not able to realise them. Curves can be difficult to achieve. A lot of vibration on scroll saws when cutting Al sheet and the scroll saw guide is not working. Have got to change the blades quite often as the teeth wears out fast.

Interesting: Simple and easy bends to achieve the required functions of a phone / tablet stand.]]> 2021-11-11 03:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883116115 Tsui Hwa: Plus - Students get to see how cams work and sketch out the design. The straight lines make it a good project to start learning to sketch. young_tsui_hwa https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883339067 2021-11-11 05:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/koh_joon_teck1/9h0n277pyf167xo/wish/1883339067 Plus - The resources are helpful in guiding the students to do the journal.

Minus : Some guiding resources to scaffold the learning of the students will be helpful.
