Session intent (what to expect)

• Share with us what you hope your participants will take away from this session (Participants will learn ...)
• Share with us if there are any prerequisites to make the most of this session (Participants will require knowledge of ...)
• italicise the specific skills/ takeaways that are quantifiable to help us create a concept map of the sessions we are offering for our incoming Freshmores

Session details

Let us know the number of participants you can handle and where you intend to hold it. (if you need a venue, do let us know what sort of venue would be ideal to book). If you have any constraints on the timing or any other matters, do specify as well

Speakers/Workshop facilitators

Share with us the background of your facilitators to provide some context for your participants.

Logistical details

Help us with the overall resourcing our events. This will give us cue as to how to budget for the event and if there are further constraints we must consider.
Please provide us with your club e-mail address so we can notify you once your event has been scheduled.

Session intent (what to expect)

Participants will first gain confidence in doing electronics project by assembling components according to schematics, then proceed to learn about soldering.

It will be a very self-directed learning, where the schematics is shown on the screen and the participants will assemble the project by themselves. Facilitators will be present to look out for safety and answer the participants

We offer 2 level of difficulties will be offered - Basic for people who have no confidence in electronics and Advanced for people who wish to challenge themselves to soldering.

Level 1: Basic assembly of the components using quick release terminal block
Level 2: Soldering of the components onto prefboard

No prerequisite or prior knowledge is required

Session details

Max 18 participants per session
Venue: Cohort classroom 14
Timing: 7pm to 10pm
Involves soldering

Require booking of venue on the 27th May and 3rd June
Soldering may be required

@Fishbiscuit to advise on venue

@baijialong I think you should hold it at fab lab, would that be possible? soldering in a CC will make it hard for us to book it

[baijialong]

In that case, if they forbid soldering in cohort classroom, then we will remove the soldering component of the workshop.

In previous experience (feb 2019), EHS requires us to have a protective cover over the table when conducting workshop involving soldering. Not sure if they have updated their policy again.

We would prefer the workshop to be held in the classroom.
