Designing New STEMland using 3D tool
~saranya
What did I do well?
I learnt to use 3D tool in a short time period. I was learnt to use Google sketch up and Sweet home 3D also I learnt to use x-fig which is 2D design. I was not aware of the 3D tool and I searched internet and got input from our team. Then I took all the measurements (Height, Width and Depth) for the tables, windows, doors, cupboard etc…. Now I am able to do design. It gave me a confidence to try more using the tool.
What went well?
I was able to complete do design by using 2D as well as 3D. I was able to cover all the table and boards. I was to do the design with measurements.
Where to Improve?
I was unable to finish it on time I took 3 days (8 hours) to complete the design.
Snaps are available here.
Scratch 3 documentation for Ubuntu
Vimal has completed B.E Mechanical Engineering and has experience in various profiles as executive operations, Engineering maintenance, deputy manager- management systems, quality control in a glass container company 12 years. Presently with Redshade Robotics as a mentor cum trainer for embedded systems and robotics using Arduino for 2 years. Already, he offered an Arduino robotics course for STEM land facilitators.
In the Scratch.mit.edu website release the scratch 3 desktop and Mac Os version. They didn’t release the Ubuntu version. Vimal goes through these websites like node.js, electron.js, github.com/llk/ and scratch_blocks. And he built the scratch 3_desktop Application for Ubuntu.
And also he taught his knowledge to Sandhiya and Praba. How to do the scratch 3 _desktop Application in runtime.
And We use these two websites like node.js and electron.js to develop any application.
This is the documentation: scratch-desktop
Backyard cleanup for garden
Since STEMland is moving very next to our office, We as a team decided to cleanup the area between the two buildings(AAD office and STEMland) which was full of bushes and thorns. We want to make sure that everyone using this place is safe as this place was full of insects ,termites, scorpions, snakes, etc..,
BEFORE:
We cleared all those unwanted plants/grasses and stones. We have planned to build a table at the center which we could use for meetings and the children can also use this open space for studying outside if they wish. We will be covering the whole space with green shade nets and plant some plants to make it look like a beautiful garden.
AFTER:
Note:-This work is yet to be continued once the summer is over.
STEM land New Building Plan using Card Board
~Saranya
STEM land is moving from Udavi school to near our office. Which is inside the udavi school campus. Before moving STEM land we (we refers to STEMland coordinator, Sanjeev and children) want to have basic plan. I did the plan using cardboard. It was helped me to get new inputs from Naveen and 10th grade children. I gave the cardboard planning to the children and children organised the materials at cardboard. It was helped to visualise the new STEM land building.
