Additional Info

• Period of implementation: 80-120 Hours
• Country where the practice was developed : Finland
• Provider of the practice : Salpaus Further Education - Lathi
• Targetg group: EQF level 5
• How to implement the practice :

  At first every student plan their own 3D models using TinkerCad or SolidWorks and print the parts using 3D printers and PLA filament. At next every student plan their own PCB:s using Eagle Layout Editor, make PCB and solder the components (HALL-sensor etc) to PCB.
  At last everys student program Arduino to show wind speed and direction via LCD/OLED/SerialMonitor.

• Prerequisite knowledge:

  Some 3D modelling program, 3D printing, PCB planning and electronic basis

• Main learning outcomes from the practice :
  • - 3D modelling and printing
  • - PCB planning and manufacturing
  • - Electronics
  • - HALL-sensor
  • - Magnetism
• Needed/Suggested digital tools:
  • - Arduino cc
  • - 3D modelling program (TinkerCad)
  • - PCB Layout Editor (Eagle)
• The practice was carried: : Hybrid online/classroom
• Critical points to shift towards STEM learning and solutions:

  Ensuring access to the boxes, tools and parts to be used.

• Positive aspects of participatory learning :

  Motivated students can make their best and more

• Negative aspects of participatory learning:

  Unmotivated students...

• Included green education (if any):
  • - Solar energy
