建中機研x樹林國小 STEM工程教育課程 — 指尖陀螺

Engineering course with Shulin Elementary School - Fidget Spinner

建中機研校隊致力於將工程教育帶入中小學的課堂上，秉持著探究實作的精神，希望能夠讓學生以小見大，將課堂所學實踐。
CyberpunK devotes our efforts into bringing engineering education into junior high schools and elementary schools’ courses. With the spirit of Inquiry and Practice, we hope that students can gain the ability to see further, and put the things they've learned into practice.

繼上次在莒光國小首次成功的STEM教育課程後，我們於2022年12月11日，和樹林國小合作辦理第二次的課程。延續上次「軸承」主題，依照上次授課經驗做出了一些調整。我們先是做了新動畫，以具象化方式更進一步詳細介紹軸承運作的機械原理，同時對於物理學內容能有初步的理解。再進一步改變指尖陀螺的黏合方式，改良後的指尖陀螺轉動的表現更為滑順。最後Scratch軸承模擬程式，在重新調整講授方式和程式碼後，學生能夠更快速的學會實作程式內容，有更多時間理解原理或是改良程式。

After successfully holding the Engineering course with Juguang Elemetary School, we collaborated with another teacher from Shulin Elementary School on Dec.11, 2022. Improvemnts are made after our last experience. Firstly, we made new animations for students to easily understand the concepts. Our students found another way to glue the fidget spinners to make it spun more smoothly. Lastly, we optimized our codes in Scratch lessons. Students now spend less time on coding, but had more time to explore new ideas in the project.

沒有改變的是，每個學生都依舊很享受組裝、編寫程式的過程。「謝謝你們這次的課程，如果以後還有計畫舉辦類似活動，歡迎你們下次再來樹林國小。」樹林國小的指導老師在課程結束時表達的感謝與肯定，讓建中機研的隊員們感受到分享與助人的快樂。我們在未來依舊會致力於STEM教育於國民小學的推廣，提升台灣的基礎STEM教育環境與風氣。

What didn't change is the joy of assembling fidget spinners and coding the simulation model. "Thank you for developing and teaching the kids this course. If you are willing to hold any other STEM course, Shulin Elementary School is welcome to corporate with you again!" We are both honored and excited to be appreciated by their teacher. It was a pleasure sharing our knowledge and experience with those kids. Cyberpunk will continue to help promote STEM education at elementary schools.
