Hands On Technology 2024 - San Clemente High School

Registration

• Introduction to Onshape – $460.00
  This is a course introducing educators to Onshape. “Onshape is a professional-grade, cloud-native CAD platform that students and educators can access for FREE on any device, anywhere, anytime.” It is cloud-based platform that works on both Mac and PC. Design complex solid and surface models using top-down or bottom-up methodologies. Create highly structured and detailed assemblies with built-in standard hardware and parts linked from other Documents. Create fully detailed drawings of parts and assemblies with dimensions, and import and export of DWG, DWT and DXF file formats. Participants will leave the course able to model and draw products suitable for high school technology and engineering subjects. They will be able to manage Onshape in a school environment and access and develop resources for use in the classroom.
• Introduction to Textiles as a whole – $500.00
  Immerse yourself in a world of textile projects suitable for Stages 4-5. During the weekend, we will delve into multiple smaller projects to show you an array of options that can be delivered to any stage 4-5 Textiles class, especially if you have staff unable to use sewing machines. We will look into needle felting and how this can be implemented in any classroom, weaving - created from laser cut looms and wool, small machine sewing projects such as tote bags/cushions, whilst playing around with the Cricut machine and how it can be used to enhance your projects.
• Mechatronics 7–10 Computing Technology – $100.00
  Martin Levins & Shane Byrne are both lecturers in Digital Technologies in education at University of New England and Australian Catholic University respectively.
  Both are experienced K-12 teachers and worked together in the 4 year Digital Technologies in focus project with ACARA where we worked with 160 disadvantaged schools throughout Australia, helping teachers deploy the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies Curriculum.
  
  Outline
  The weekend session will focus on the mechatronics component of 7–10 Computing Technology as either a stand alone or introductory course for stage 6 work.
  Our introduction will cover the requirements of the syllabus and will lead into work with microcontrollers with both sensors and actuators, and the transition from block based computing to General Purpose Programming Languages that will affect many in Stage 4. This transition will be revisited throughout the weekend, reflecting the diversity of students who may come to Stage 4 with no coding experience or are fairly proficient.
  We will move from there to the incorporation of microcontrollers with Maqueen robots, using ultrasonic sensors to aid navigation, then using servos to load and shift materials.
  Following this, we will experiment with artificial intelligence built into cameras and code the robots to carry out various missions
  We will then pick up a different form of robot with several degrees of freedom to simulate pickers or parts assembly.
  Some time will then be given to reflect on what has been achieved and possibly revisiting earlier activities, followed by a revisit of syllabus requirements to look at where these activities might best fit, and a how they could inform unit development in stage 6.
  A personal laptop will be required, with application install privileges as we will experiment with a few different coding platforms.

• River pour: Playing with Recycled Timber and More – $700.00
  Have you always wanted to know the Tips & Tricks of doing River Pours? How to get rid of those pesky air bubbles in pour on finishes? Or how to achieve great finishes using recycled timber? What products and requirements can be used for internal and external conditions? This workshop will give you all the tips and tricks and correct products to do River Pours and more. By doing your own projects you will be loaded up with techniques for working with recycled and new timber for making unique woodwork projects. You will gain tips & tricks on how to take very ordinary pieces of timber from fence palings to slab timber and turn them into one off masterpieces. The plan is for you to bring manageable pieces of 2nd hand timber with you to play with over the two days. We will do the pouring / Epoxy coating on Saturday and finishing on Sunday. We will provide you with a list of goodies (Do not sweat if you do not have timber – we can supply) and tools you will need to bring once advised you have selected our knowledgeable workshop.
