What is 3D Printing? 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process that creates three-dimensional objects by building them layer by layer from digital designs. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods that remove material (subtractive manufacturing), 3D printing adds material only where needed, making it efficient and versatile for creating complex geometries. How 3D Printing Works The basic process involves three main steps: Design: Create a digital 3D model using computer-aided design (CAD) software Slice: Convert the 3D model into layers using slicing software, which generates instructions for the printer Print: The 3D printer follows these instructions to build the object layer by layer using materials like plastic, resin, or […]
Minecraft isn’t just a game—it’s a powerful educational tool that’s revolutionizing how children learn programming. At Coding Lab Japan, we’ve discovered that Minecraft coding classes offer the perfect blend of fun and learning, making complex programming concepts accessible and exciting for young minds. What Makes Minecraft Perfect for Learning Code? Visual and Interactive Learning Unlike traditional coding environments with intimidating text editors, Minecraft provides an immediate visual representation of code. When students write a program to build a castle, they see their creation appear block by block in the 3D world. This instant feedback keeps children engaged and motivated to continue learning. Familiar Environment Most children are already familiar with […]

W211 – Drone Programming Future-Ready Skills Development Drone technology is rapidly expanding across industries including agriculture, construction, emergency services, and entertainment. Learning to program drones prepares children for future career opportunities in these growing fields. STEM Integration Drone programming naturally combines multiple STEM disciplines – coding (Computer Science), flight physics (Science), drone design (Engineering), and calculations for flight paths (Mathematics) – providing practical real-world application of these concepts. Spatial Thinking and Problem-Solving Programming drones requires thinking in three-dimensional space and solving complex problems (like obstacle avoidance or efficient path planning), developing crucial cognitive abilities that transfer to many other areas.
