Makers Space for D&T

The Makerspace gives room and materials for physical learning. Because these spaces can easily be cross-disciplinary, students in many fields can use them, often finding technical help for work they are undertaking in their areas. At the same time, those in engineering and technology will find their work enriched by contributions from those in other fields. Makerspaces allow students to take control of their own learning as they take ownership of projects they have not just designed but defined. At the same time, students often appreciate the hands-on use of emerging technologies and a comfortable acquaintance with the kind of experimentation that leads to a completed project.

Electronics Lab using TINA Cloud

TINACloud is the cloud based multi-language online version of the popular TINA circuit simulation software now running in browsers without any installation and anywhere in the world. With this powerful, industrial strength, yet affordable circuit simulation tool teachers and students can study, analyze & design analog, digital, HDL, MCU, and mixed electronic circuits including also SMPS, RF, communication, and optoelectronic circuits and test microcontroller applications in a mixed circuit environment.  TINACloud also has unique features for the training environment and distance education, including training and examination. TINACloud runs on most OSs and computers, including PCs, Macs, thin clients, iPads, and other tablets - even on most smart phones, smart TVs and e-book readers. TINACloud works in the office, classroom, at home, and, in fact, anywhere in the world that has Internet access. In the workshop we will present the most exciting features of TINACloud in the frame of a live demonstration.

16:00 – 17:00 3D Printing for your Class Room

Does 3D printing in education make sense only for technical schools where teachers and students are familiar with 3D modeling and technology? 
We believe the opposite is true. To prove it, we decided to develop a special workshop concept that would:  

  • rely heavily on use of 3D printers
  • minimize the need for technical skills such as 3D modelling or manual processing of 3D files
  • solve several different, real life problems
  • utilize a simple workflow
  • use technology to keep students motivated and interested
