Term 1 builds: propeller cars to wall-climbing robots

Twelve classes, twelve projects. Here is what Maskido learners are building in partner schools this term, from Primary 1 to SS 3.

Every class in our partner schools works towards one project each term. Here is this term's line-up, stage by stage.

Starter (Primary 1 – 3)

  • Digital Discovery Lab (Primary 1): instructions, order and sequence
  • 3D Game Modelling (Primary 2): building a 3D world with its own rules
  • Input–Output Command Station (Primary 3): switches, lights and simple circuits

Tinker (Primary 4 – 6)

  • Propeller Car (Primary 4): motors, propellers and assembly
  • DIY Vacuum Cleaner (Primary 5): suction and airflow
  • Mechanical Geared Fan (Primary 6): gears and how motion is passed on

Inventor (JSS 1 – 3)

  • Arduino Engineering Lab (JSS 1): programming a microcontroller
  • Smart House (JSS 2): controlling a house by radio
  • OTTO DIY Walking Robot (JSS 3): servos and robot movement

Explorer and Entrepreneur (SS 1 – 3)

  • Drone Technology (SS 1): thrust, balance and flight
  • CNC Plotter (SS 2): coordinates, G-code and stepper motors
  • Gravity-Defying Wall Robot (SS 3): airflow, gravity and traction

We will share photos of the finished builds at the end of term. See every stage's projects on the Pathways page.
