Experiential Learning

Make: Students will put on their creative hats and create ride prototypes with Strawbees, taking note of how ride mechanisms work.

Observe: They will observe the movement of their prototype rides and think of a solution.

Modify: Students will solve problems and work collaboratively to improve their prototype.

Students will visualize objects in a 2D to 3D perspective and learn to draw conclusions from them despite limited information.

Through understanding the building blocks such as structural design and dynamic mechanisms, students can rearrange these ideas in new and innovative ways.

Universal Studios has asked you to create a new ride for the visitors. Design a new ride fun for the whole family!

Engage students further with a hands-on approach through making and building with an element of play.

Strawbees creates fun and engaging maker experiences for learning across all age groups! Using straws and connectors, students can instantly turn their imagination into a

real, physical prototype. Learning through tinkering allow experimentation and investigation to take place, which helps to develop computational thinking and problem-solving skills.

Creativity with Strawbees

Build: Students build their ideal smart home using building materials such as cardboards or LEGO. Program: Learn to

program the relevant blocks, e.g. light blocks, sensors and button.

Explore: Explore how to improve their smart home, how they will create a system that changes or react to the environment around it.

Open ended: Teams can come together and build a smart neighbourhood.

Strategize your solution through design sketching, mapping and analysis.

Design purposeful, functional and aesthetic products from your solution criteria.

Through processes such as theory generation, experiment design and hypothesis testing, students can explore and create various solutions to a single problem.

Create step-by-step solutions to complex problems using concepts such as Deconstruction and Pattern Recognition.

Getting Started

By analysing the task given and evaluating their progress, students will achieve greater insight in creating their solutions.

Learn about different factors affecting our earth.

Conduct experiments on electrolysis and the redox reaction process using the kit and understand the part it plays in the energy conversion/generation process.

Understand the difference between voltage and amperage, and how each determines the outcome of a process.

Log, Review and Analyse data taken from experiments to gain an accurate understanding of how different factors can affect the different processes.

Horizon’s STEM Kits introduce students to the fascinating science behind renewable energy technology. They will unearth the key principles of renewable energy and

understanding the various engineering mechanisms behind it through various experiments.

Lesson idea (Customisable)

EV3 introduces real-world robotics for both students and adults. Through building and coding with this set, together with the software, it helps in developing problem solving

skills and promote teamwork in groups.

Computational & Critical Thinking Skills 21st century skills, logical thinking and problem-solving skills

Students use LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 set as a platform to break down a problem and discover solutions based on computational thinking.

Students will be guided through the Design Thinking Process and design their unique solution to the problem given. Students will first analyse the problem then design

and build a prototype solution such as a robot arm with sensors to sort goods in the warehouse.

Build an automated solution for a warehouse to improve its efficiency

Robotics & Engineering with LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3

Understand the process and functionality of the program, followed by troubleshooting the robot to work accordingly.

Logic and Building Skills

Object Oriented Programming

Advanced Programming + Smartphone control

Create projects and learn how to make use of the on-board sensors such as the accelero- meter and gyroscope.

Lesson Idea

E.g Employ coding skills to innovate solutions for automated space travel using the on-board sensors.

Analyse, design and write executable programs for each of the Learning Expectations.

E.g How do lightning detectors work? Commercial lightning detectors can be rather expensive; therefore students can work on turning Arduino into a lightning detector. The aim is to construct a simple circuit to detect lightning with an Arduino and produce meaningful results.

Allow students to investigate their interest in science and technology in a unique way.

E.g Students will use the Arduino with both analogue inputs and outputs in a sketch. Students will be able to maintain lighting levels using a Photoresistor.

Learn the basics of digital technologies that is required to control digital actuators and to read digital sensors.

E.g. Students will understand how electricity flows through a circuit and will be able to use that knowledge to light an LED using Arduino.
