Thank you for accessing my website.

My selection of the “EdTech – STEAM Workshop Design” scenario stems from my dedication to teaching young students and my curiosity about technology-based learning approaches. The development of a workshop that combines 3D printing with IoT and AI in order to create a “Future City” workshop seems purposeful and entertaining.

1.
As part of the workshop, I would permit students to make elementary 3D models such as a smart bus stop, a solar-powered street lamp, or a recycling receptacle. All these objects are easy to design and print and are using the “Future City” theme. If inspiration is needed, we can use generative AI tools like ChatGPT or DALL·E to provide ideas or sample images. This can be achieved through a request of the AI for “future city building designs” and using those ideas to help students create their own models.

2. The integration of IoT devices and AI systems enables us to develop intelligent features for the “Future City.”
We can incorporate basic sensors into 3D models that detect light levels to trigger street lamp activation at night and detect temperature changes for weather reports. Through the assistance of AI technology we gain access to information obtained from sensor networks so we can identify patterns for light usage. Through this method students gain insights into how IoT and AI technologies work together to enhance urban efficiency.

3. To begin the day I would present the idea of a “Future City” before explaining the fundamental principles of 3D printing. Students will work in groups to use AI to create models and begin the printing process after the initial brainstorming session.
I would introduce students to IoT technology and sensors during the afternoon while guiding them through the process of model enhancement with these features. Students would finish their day by completing a brief assessment task. Data processing together with AI assessment tools enables us to determine which subjects students mastered and which concepts proved challenging during the workshop.

4. AI can help students of different learning speeds by giving them assignments based on their speed. If a student works fast, for example, AI can give them more challenging questions or activities. If a student needs more time, AI can give them more practice or prompts. This way, all the students get to learn at their own pace and feel supported.

5. I believe that the company should charge the school, not parents or students. If the school is charged, then all students in the class can participate in the workshop, not just those families who can afford it. It is also more convenient for the company and the school can organize the workshop for the whole class.
