FOCUS OF THE WORKSHOP
The main focuses are Computational Thinking and Product Design. More specifically, algorithmic thinking, creative thinking, 3-D design, 3D printing, and user-centered design topics will be the focuses.
BENEFITS FOR Students
- Some activities (such as Task 4) can be counted for CAS activities.
- Follow up training such as Project Management.
- Experience of process and product design life cycle in a real life project with support of mentors.
BENEFITS & OUTPUTS FOR BLIS COMMUNITY
- A possible start of an ACM Student Chapter
- Having a technology lab and platform for multidisciplinary technology studies.
Workshop Structure
The first workshop will be a whole day activity starting at 9:00 am. Later there will be other follow up activities.
Before lunch time students will attend to different training sessions.
After lunch, students who attended to user centered design and creative thinking sessions will join to the other groups.
In this half of the day, each team will work together on the challenges or project topics as described below.
Expected output is to have written solutions/suggestions including the tentative implementation plans for each team.
Team Work
Other than the design challenge subject, it is important to have multiple perspectives in each team. Project based learning and collaborative work are the key points.

Task 2
Probot/Beebot Challenge Design + Accessories Design
Training: Introduction to algorithms using Pro-bots
Challenge-1: Design of tasks to be used in an event as a Pro-bot challenge.
Challenge-2: Design of accessories to be used with Probot's and BeeBots.
Task 3
3D Printing and Design
Training: Introduction to 3D Printers and Design
Challenge: How can we make 3D-printed chess sets and in which contexts?
Challenge: Generation and plan of 3D design challenges?
Task 4
IMPACT Environment (Design it Yourself)
Task 4.a: Building IMPACT Community
Training: User Centered Interior Design, Creative Thinking.
Challenge: How can we build an IMPACT community including different grade levels? How can we start an ACM-Student Chapter in BLIS?
Task 4.b: Building IMPACT Technology Laboratory
Training: User Centered Interior Design, Creative Thinking.
Challenge -1: How should the IMPACT Lab be designed?
Challenge -2: Plans for the arrangements of the physical assets of the IMPACT Lab.
We have a learning space waiting to be designed to make a Technology IMPACT.
But keep in mind that how we get organised can be more important for long term.
