Presenting what you learn is a crucial phase in the cycle of learning. It's not the easiest nor the most pleasurable for anyone. To be vulnerable and open to feedback and comments makes it even more difficult. However, the key takeaways and learnings are very enriching.
We interviewed some of our team members to find out what do they think about Arus. Read on the Question and Answer session below to know more about it!
"Arus simply can be said as one of my most favorite places that I would spend my whole day at, without feeling boring." Subashini (Maker Academy batch 2015 alumni) enjoy learning how technology is integrated in our daily life.
Throughout human history, we are always influenced by our friends, our family and the cultures around. Much of those we took to be our inner most desires and expected selves actually comes externally - how social upbringing shapes us. Girls might grow up to be a house wife because that role is seemed to be the destined position and that is how others define success for a girl.
If you were given the seating layout of an airplane and had to decide the seating arrangement of passengers who are going onboard, how would you arrange them knowing that a few of them have recently traveled to countries that had just experience a deadly outbreak? What if some of them were showing mild to extreme symptoms but you’re not in the position to diagnose, just to arrange the seating? How would you place them knowing there are children, elderly people and pregnant women on the plane and that seats are limited? Give your reasoning.*
When we were looking ways to integrate STEM and Arts, theatre comes very naturally to our minds. It involves a lot of making.
Last week concludes a 4-month long journey to incorporate our Maker Academy programme with 20 Pusat Internet under the purview of Digi. The new programme is called Digi Academy.
Saturday wraps up a programme we have been doing in SMJK Jit Sin II since the beginning of 2018. It's the Young Engineers for Society programme, modelled from the Arduino component of our Maker Academy programme.
Since our Maker Academy's inception, we have been using the microcontroller CT UNO. CT UNO is designed based on the Arduino UNO form factor by Cytron Technologies. There are a few reasons to choosing Arduino, or rather CT UNO as our microcontroller platform. It was one of the easiest beginner microcontroller to learn, and we want to support a home-grown product.
It’s the last Friday of 2017 and what a year it has been for all of us at Arus!
