“To think like a designer requires dreaming up wild ideas,taking time to tinker and test, and being willing to fail early and often."
-IDEO
Design isn’t just about creation; it’s about harnessing creativity to solve real world problems and improve people's lives- through the use of innovation. Our program takes students on an exciting journey of solving real world problems through hands-on exploration & product development. To think like a designer requires dreaming up wild ideas, taking time to tinker and test, and being willing to fail early and often.
Invention, however, requires more than just curiosity and creativity – it requires the KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS to carry a design to fruition. TechLabs teachers help students gain the knowledge to facilitate THEIR ideas, THEIR invention, and THEIR vision and to show them how to implement it with new technologies.
The specific project theme for this course changes throughout the year so participants alway experience something exciting and new. See the individual offer for current project theme.
Examples of past themes:
From automated vacuum cleaners, to Mars rovers, to deep-sea exploration, robots are everywhere. But a new kind of robot has arrived. They are small, cheap, & simple but they have a special skill: they work as a team! Inspired by nature, these robots work together to achieve tasks that even a more sophisticated and expensive robot can’t achieve alone. Similar to the sophisticated beehives bees are able to build together or the huge complexity of ant colonies.
In this class, you will:
Design & test Build Oil Spill Cleaning Boats
Experimenting with an Auto Farming Device
Interactive Installation SDG Goal 14: Life Below Water
Interactive Light Installation
Build and program Light Painting Robots
Join us for a fun-filled week where you will not only program your own video game but also design your very own Game Controller thanks to 3D-Printing! This is not your average controller; the TechLabs controller will let you control your game using motion, image, and voice recognition thanks to AI.
Take your design and fabrication skills to the next level with advanced training
New for Tuesdays and Thursdays in 2024/25 school year: Participants will be introduced to the Vex V5 Robotics Competition and have the opportunity to work as a team to build a robot and compete in regional competitions.www.vexrobotics.com/v5/competition/vrc-current-gameBlender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and, formerly, video games. In this introductory course students will learn to:
