E290AP Digital Maker 1

Welcome to Digital Maker 1 course!

Synopsis

In this course, you will learn to create new projects with various digital tools, including digital animation, 3D design, and coding and algorithms.

Technical objective: You will first learn how to animate your own 2D drawings and create 3D models. You will then learn basic mathematical and programming concepts and apply them to game development, hardware/software control, and machine learning. Such skills will expand the toolbox you possess and help you utilise the cross-domain knowledge to find creative solutions.

Life skills objective: The projects in this course will expose you to the maker culture in which one is not just a consumer of things, but also a creator. They will also empower you to create and tinker with devices, and perform any task with the help of technology.

Prerequisite

This course is suitable for Upper Primary and Lower Secondary learners with a basic command of English and computer skills.

You will require a computer (Windows or Mac) with a mouse and a pair of headphones. You will also require an Arduino Starter Kit.

Structure

To earn a completion badge for this course, you will need to present 1 showcase project during an open day. 

You can complete the course at your own pace. There are 20 lessons in the course. Each lesson is about 1 hour.
