Introduction

On the right is the slideshow presented in the 7th International Conference of Teacher Education (ICTE), Taiwan, 2019.

The STEM integration is explained using a tetrahedron. For easy navigation, activities below will still located in individual disciplines.

Learning activities

Here we collect/develop learning activities that are ready for use in classrooms. We start from STEM related activities, and gradually will include all disciplines. Disciplines are only used for indexing activities. Most activities could be related to more than one discipline and all will involve computational thinking, digital fabrication, and problem-solving and learning skills.

  • 3DP Cart setup

3DP (3D Printer) Cart is a mobile setup for 3D printers. It can be good if you need to move your 3D printers around from classroom to classroom in schools for example. Currently, this Maker Club has no dedicated space so our three 3D printers are on wheels in different classrooms. Below are some details to set up your own 3DP cart.
