| LEaRN Project Overview | | - Origin
- Goals
- Partnerships
- Timeline
|
| | Sensor Fabrication | | - STEM Students
- High School students already design their own circuit boards, do soldering, even advanced soldering
- Middle School students may be involved as well
- Robotics teams design entire system
- Can do C programming
- Students good at system integration
- This project could give their next generation of students experience
- Video production students at STEM may want to make videos to document the fabrication process
- Possibility of doing a Nepris presentation
- Timeline
- Nicolette's classes have flexibility
- Target mid-October at latest to begin fabrication
- Logistics
- Start with a few units for fabrication
- Check the work to see what needs improving
- First contact point
- Bring examples of built units
- To show students the quality expected
- Take apart, show how they go together
- Build a few with the students
- Then let students build an initial batch
- Inspect quality of work, give feedback
- ~4 hours per week of contact time, sometimes interruptions
- October to November open in their schedule
- Then let students build the rest
- Label sensors so that the students feel sense of ownership and pride in their work
- Questions
- What size soldering irons are needed?
- Types of screw drivers
- When installing sensors near the school (Willow and Teurlings) allow students to watch
|
| | Sept. 8 Update | | - Working as fast as we can to order parts
- Looks like lead time for some components will put us into mid.October
- Okay if we do initial tutorial mid. October?
- Yes
- Monday October 16
- Tutorial content (98 minutes)
- Information about the LEaRN AQ project
- What we are putting together
- Why we are putting it together this way
- How to properly put it together
- Tutorial will be document in a similar way to iFixit guide
- Can CGI send parts list to students who are working on developing an efficient manufacturing process for the project
- Do the students have availability into January if needed for fabrication?
- Nicolette would have some time in January and the first few weeks in February
- Zeke's student's schedules are more flexible
- Piecemeal assembly should be fine if need by (e.g. soldering components as they are available)
|
| | Oct. 11 Update | | - Procurement delays have forced us to shift our schedule
- Tentative schedule
- CGI will hold a tutorial for high school students on Nov. 13th 10:05-11:47am
- This will be video recorded
- CGI will also have fabrication instructions ready for Nov. 13th
- High school students will begin fabrication (soldering components onto PCBs) on Nov. 16th
- Fabrication will continue throughout Dec. and January
- Middle school students will begin assembling sensor boxes in late January, with a goal of finishing at the end of February.
