Educate Nigeria is excited to announce its two-week digital summer school program designed for primary school students in Lagos. This program aims to provide educational solutions through the use of technology, empowering students with essential digital skills while offering engaging and fun activities. The summer school will take place in Kuramo Primary School and Lagos Mainland Local Government School Ijero, allowing students to immerse themselves in a variety of enriching experiences.
Activities
Digital Skills:
- Coding
In the coding course, students will receive a basic introduction to computers, coding, and computational thinking. They will learn programming concepts and coding terms through interactive in-class activities. The program will utilize Tinkercad code blocks to enhance the learning experience.
Student Activity: Students will be given a template to create a program for a one-way traffic light system. Using the Tinkercad code block, they will have the opportunity to apply their coding knowledge and create a functioning program.
- 3D Printing
The 3D printing course will introduce students to the fascinating world of 3D printing and its applications. Students will learn how 3D printers work and how to design 3D models using templates. They will also gain hands-on experience in preparing print-ready files.
Student Activity: As a practical exercise, students will create a 3D model for a traffic light system. They will then use the 3D printer to bring their designs to life by printing the necessary parts.
- Robotics
The robotics section of the program will introduce students to the exciting field of robotics and microcontrollers. They will gain an understanding of how microcontrollers function and their role in powering robotic systems.
Student Activity: Students will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge by creating a virtual circuit for traffic lights using Tinkercad Circuits. They will then translate their virtual circuit into a physical circuit on a breadboard, assemble the final traffic light system, and present its functionality.
Fun Activities
- Art and Crafts
In the art and crafts segment, students will explore their creativity while learning about recycling and repurposing materials. They will engage in various arts and crafts projects using discarded materials such as plastics and cardboard.
Student Activity: Students will be encouraged to create artwork using recycled materials, fostering their imagination and environmental consciousness.
- Physical Activity
To promote physical well-being and discipline, students will have the opportunity to participate in martial arts training. This activity will focus on martial arts techniques and sensitivity training.
Student Activity: Under the guidance of the trainer, students will engage in martial arts exercises and learn valuable self-defense techniques, promoting physical fitness and mental discipline.
