Date of Workshop: 7th August 2010 (Saturday)
Deadline for Registration: 25 July 2010
Venue: TJC
Open to: JC1, TA1 and TA2.
SimTech would like to organise 1-day Arduino Microcontroller Workshop in the College on the 7th August 2010. (Saturday).
The workshop is free and lunch will be provided.
The aim of the workshop is to create awareness and generating interest for students in the field of robotics.
During the workshop, students would mainly be interacting directly with the microcontroller in groups of two or three. They will have the chance to run some demo programs on the microcontroller through the computer, students would also be able to interact with sensors, LEDs and motors. Students will then be able to see the capabilities of the microcontroller.
The workshop will be free and lunch will be provided. However we hope to get a minimum number of students (abt 25) who are interested to participate before the workshop can be held.
Interested students pls provide your name, class, email and contact number to Mr Iskandar by email: muhammad_iskandar_hairodin@moe.edu.sg before the deadline of 25th July 2010.
Further information on Arduino Microcontroller can be found at www.arduino.cc There are also other interesthing videos about the Arduino Microcontroller on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMV2isNm8JU&NR=1&feature=fvwp
Submission Deadline: 26 Jul

The theme for this year’s YDSP Science and Technology Camp would be Naval Technology. For the first time, the students would need to fulfil a series of water theme challenges!
The camp will be held concurrently from 31 May to 4 Jun 2010. Over the 5 days, the students will get a chance to attend DSTA engineers’ sharing session, visit interesting projects, attend workshops and take part in competitions.
In this competition, students would construct water borne vessel. Electronic kits comprising electronic circuit boards, DC motors, servo motors, radio control functions etc would be used by the students in building the vessel. The vessel would be capable of full operator control and be required to fulfil a series of challenges.
We are looking for four TA1 students for each camp. If additional placements are available due to the non-take up by other invitees, YDSP would open up the placements on a first come first serve basis.
To sign up, email Mr Tan Seng Kwang (tan_seng_kwang@tjc.edu.sg) your name and CG.
