Sakon Grow - Tech Camp

Creative Playground

STEAM-Based Play Project gives students in rural areas the opportunity to explore STEAM-based learning through fun and creative activities. With the guidance of CIS team, students transformed their playground into the Tao Ngoi Complex. Using materials like agricultural waste, school items, and leftover materials from home, they built creative shop concepts and decorated their playground.

Through this activity, the children practiced teamwork, storytelling, and basic English vocabulary. They confidently presented their shops, showcasing incredible imagination and energy. It’s inspiring to see them so eager to learn and create!

BioBot Battle

BioBot Battle aimed at empowering students in rural areas with STEAM-based learning opportunities. Organized in collaboration with FabLab Bangkok, this camp encourages curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning.

Recently held at Ban Kuan Bun School, Sakon Nakhon, the event was a vibrant blend of play and education. Under the guidance of FabLab Bangkok, students transformed simple electronic toys into imaginative creations. Specially designed learning tools by FabLab Bangkok’s design team, the activities introduced students to concepts sparking their interest in how motors work and creating a love for exploration.

Throughout the day, students practiced teamwork, making skills, and basic engineering concepts. Watching their excitement as they brought their moving creations to life was nothing short of inspiring. The confidence they gained from these experiences will surely fuel their learning journey!

Seedling House

Over the past five months, CIS collaborated with DIPS students, horticulture scientists and the local community of Na Ngoi village, Sakon Nakhon, under the guidance of Prof. Michiko Takagaki and CIS KMUTT. They combined horticultural knowledge with design skills to create innovative solutions and a business model based on agricultural activities. The seeding house prototype aims to inspire younger generations in the village to design and manage their own agriculture-based businesses. It introduces a new archetype of seeding houses with improved space management that supports both online and live activities for social media promotion.

This initiative equips younger generations with essential skills to generate income and enhance their quality of life. With positive community feedback, the project has secured further funding to integrate smart systems and online business models.

Motor to Move
This activity was part of the research project on “Identifying Suitable Characteristics of Community Spaces and Environments for Cultural, Social, and Economic Development.

The workshop invited local children to explore creativity by crafting toys from everyday materials and learning basic motor-powered circuitry. English language elements were also integrated into the session to encourage playful and practical learning.

Bamboo Racing

This workshop invited children from Ban Na Ngoi community to create electric toys using natural materials and simple motors and digital fabrication. Blending fun with learning, the activity introduced basic circuitry and hands-on making—while also weaving in English language learning. It’s part of our mission to empower communities through creativity, education, and inclusive innovation.
