DSIL & Stanford Joint Workshop at DSIL, Aug 31- Sep 4, 2015
Day 2- 5 : ….-> Prototype -> Build -> Test -> Ideate -> ….
Could not really grab the idea of what it had been going on these days because I missed most of the key sessions on these days.
(For Data-Driven learning Workshop ) Stanford team introduced a tool for (big) data processing on Thu,
Tableau (http://www.tableau.com)
- A tool for (Big) data presentation : nice visual graphic and easy to use with large data
Disadvantage - Expensive (about 1000 USD for individual use) with only short trial period ( around 7 days )
??? What is the use of that ??? Who would be able to get a hand on and make use of such expensive program ???
Basic Fabrication Workshop
Project : Practicing tool for music learner - Beat counting
Day 3 Prototyping
Day 4-5 Building + Testing
Project : Powered file drawer cabinet
Prototyping
Building + Testing
Project : Automatic plant watering system
Prototyping ….
Missed this part. Truly sorry, P’Jae.
Building + Testing
Version 1
Version 2
Missed this one - Add another sprinkler
Version 3
Used the longer wire connecting humidity sensor and the Gogoboard
Lessons learned : Humidity sensor sensed very quickly and shut off the watering system as soon as it touched slightly damp soil.
- Location of sensor is a key to ensure equally damp area with limited amount of sensors
Version 4
Increase the water pressure to obtain smaller drops of water coming out of sprinkler - Try to get a better coverage of water on this area
Lessons learned : Too much pressure will cause leaking in the piping system
Version 5
try to reduce the leaking by using a good pipe to make a system
Version 6 …..
Missing again !!!
Note : While working on the construction of the systems, P’Jae showed strong interest and passion in building and trying to make the system work better. In comparison with the time he worked on the coding and circuit board wiring, he expressed quite obvious his preference in the type of work.
Nevertheless, when coming to the life skills, he proved many times that his life skills are second to none in this school. This fact proves one thing that everyone is a genius in our own way. No one should claim that he/she is better than others.
Interestingly. Look at the rice stalks on the right. They are smaller than those on the left because in certain of the day, this part will be in the shade.
This tells that rice needs to receive a good sun light to grow well. It shows clearly how sun light affects the growth of rice
Project : Smart cloth drying rack
The cloth drying stand which could move to the shade when raining to protect the hanged clothes from getting wet
Prototyping
???? Observer missing
Building + Testing
Day 4
Day 5
Data-Driven learning Workshop
Project : Device to measure the students’ behaviours and frequencies in using stairs to go up and down the building
Prototyping
Building + Testing
