April 27th 3D printing experience activities 3D打印体验活动

Our Junior Club organized 3D printing experience activities for children. This event was organized in conjunction with Oslo Metropolitan University Oslomet, and was taught in Norwegian by two university teachers. According to the teacher’s suggestion, we are divided into three groups according to age groups, and they are arranged at 11:00-12:45 (fourth and fifth grade), 13:00-14:45 (sixth and seventh grade), 15:00- 16:45 (middle and high school) these three periods.

On the day of the event, teachers and laboratory assistants took the children to visit the laboratory of Oslomet Makerspace. The children showed a strong interest in 3D printing and gathered around the printing equipment to ask many good questions. The teacher also displayed a variety of 3D printed works, and the children couldn’t put it down with the 3D printed small objects. Then the children sat down and listened to the teacher explain what 3D printing is and what slicing is. Next, under the guidance of the teacher, the children used Tinkercad to conduct basic 3D modeling and designed their first work. In the second half of the course, the teacher demonstrated in simple terms how to import the designed 3D model into UltiMaker Cura, set the system parameters, and finally operate the 3D printer and print out his own 3D printing works. After the event, we received a lot of feedback from children and parents. The children said they liked this kind of activity very much. They learned new knowledge and had works to take home. Parents also hope that we organize more similar activities.

4月27日我们Junior Club给孩子们组织了3D打印体验活动。此次活动和奥斯陆城市大学Oslomet各作,由两位大学老师挪威语授课。根据老师的建议,我们按年龄段分了三个组每,分别安排在了11:00-12:45(四五年级)、13:00-14:45(六七年级)、15:00-16:45(初高中)这三个时段。

活动当天老师和实验室助理带着小朋友们参观了Oslomet Makerspace的实验室,孩子们对3D打印表现出浓厚的兴趣,围在打印设备前问了很多好问题。老师也展示了各式各样3D打印的作品,小朋友们对3D打印的小物件爱不释手。然后小朋友们坐下来听老师讲解了什么是3D打印、什么是切片处理。接下来孩子们在老师的指导下用Tinkercad进行了基础的3D建模,设计出了自己的第一个作品。课程的后半段里老师深入浅出地演示了如何把设计好的3D模型导入UltiMaker Cura,设置系统参数,最终实操3D打印机并且打印出自己的3D打印作品。活动结束以后,我们收到很多孩子和家长们的反馈。孩子们表示很喜欢这样的活动,又学到了新知识还能有作品带回家。同家长们也希望我们多组织类似的活动。
