Successful Completion of Electronic Circuit Prototyping AEM (First Run) for Marsiling Secondary School

Our Secondary 3 Design and Technology students have successfully completed the Electronic Circuit Prototyping Advance Elective Module from Republic Polytechnic. The 40 hours module was held in RP from 1st June 2009 to 5th June 2009 and  The module was delivered smoothly and we have received many positive feedbacks from student participants.

This module aims to facilitate our students to further develop their understanding and skills in the following areas:

Identification and usage of common electronic components and test equipment

Reading and interpretation of electronic circuit schematics

Application of different circuit prototyping techniques to construct and test electronic projects

Analysis of common electronic circuit

.

 2008 Games Design & Programming

Ever played a poorly designed game with frustrating game mechanics before and thought confidently to yourself that you could do better? Now’s the chance to unleash your creativity by taking a peek into the behind the scenes of games design and programming.

This module aims to allow our students to unleash their creativity in games design and programming using Python. Students will be exposed to the fundamentals of games design while participating hands-on through problem solving. Each problem is well crafted to guide the student through the learning process, eventually leading him to create his very own game.

At the end of the module, students will be able to:

  • Understand the fundamental principles and life cycle of game design and development.
  • Apply problem solving and logical thinking skills in programming.
  • Design and develop their own game
  • Apply creativity and intellectual curiosity to explore beyond content knowledge in order to respond to scenarios in problem triggers

The course is designed to guide the uninitiated students by exposing them to the fundamentals of games design. We avoid the technical complexity of C++ and focus more on the logic and creativity ideas by using the easy-to-learn Python language. Our students are exposed to the various concepts through interactions with a virtual robot during the course. With this foundation built up, students go on to explore the various elements in building up a full fledged game from scratch, from adding in the graphics, sounds to working out a sound game design.

The course nurtures a competent game designer and programmer, through a series of well crafted exercises. It injects the fun into game design and programming, just like playing the game should be.
