Q & A
1. Why should I choose DoDoLayer’s courses to learn STEM through 3D Printing and Robotics?
1. 為什麼選擇層層學 的 3D 打印與機械模型 STEM 課程？
Nowadays, many schools in Hong Kong have started introducing 3D printing and robotics technology into the classrooms, as they recognise these technologies as important trends for the future. However, schools often only offer one to two computer technology lessons per week, and in large class settings, students rarely gain individual guidance. As a result, opportunities for hands-on 3D printing and robotics experience are still limited.
This is exactly where DoDoLayer stands out. We are equipped with advanced facilities, sufficient equipment, and professional expertise. Through our small-group teaching approach, students can enjoy a more in-depth and practical learning experience, by engaging in real hands-on operation, design, and creation, students are able to fully experience the excitement and creativity of technology innovation.
現今香港不少學校已開始將 3D 打印與機械模型技術引入課堂，因為他們都明白這些科技將會是未來的重要趨勢。然而，學校往往每周只有一至兩節電腦科技課，在大班教學下，學生亦難以得到個別指導，實際的3D打印與機械人體驗並不多。
這正正是層層學的優勢所在，我們具備先進設施，充足器材和專業知識。我們提供小班教學，能作更深入、更具實踐性的學習體驗，讓學生能夠透過真實操作、設計和製作，體驗科技創作的樂趣。
2. What makes DoDoLayer’s 3D Printing & Robotics courses different from traditional STEM courses?
2. 層層學的 3D 打印與機械模型課程，與傳統 STEM 課程有什麼不同？
One of the biggest advantages of 3D printing is that students are no longer limited to learning through a fixed set of tools (Example: Lego). Instead, they can start from scratch, develop their own ideas, and bring their creations to life from the ground up.
Another key difference is that students can take home the tangible creations they make during the courses at DoDoLayer. This is important because it gives students a strong sense of achievement and connection to their learning experience.
3D 打印其中一個最大的優勢，是學生不再需要依賴固定工具 (例如Lego) 來學習 STEM。相反，他們可以從零開始，發揮創意，親手將自己的想法一步一步製作出來。
另一個重要分別，是學生在完成層層學的課程後，可以把自己親手製作的實體作品帶回家。這對提升他們對學習成功感和投入感尤其重要。
3. What are the benefits of learning 3D printing and robotics?
3. 學習 3D 打印與機械模型有什麼好處？
Learning 3D printing and robotics helps students develop both knowledge and soft skills.
In terms of knowledge, students gain practical knowledge and application in mathematics, computer, electronics, design, and craftsmanship. At the same time, they also develop valuable soft skills such as problem-solving, project-based learning, resilience, creativity, and critical thinking, these are essential skills that will benefit students in both their academic journey and future careers.
學習 3D 打印與機械模型，能夠同時培養學生的智識與技能。
在智識能方面，學生可以學習數學應用、電腦運用、電子知識、設計能力以及工藝製作技巧。同時，他們亦能培養解難能力、專題研習能力、抗逆能力、創造力及批判性思維等重要技能。這些能力不但有助於學業發展，更對未來升學及職業發展帶來長遠優勢。
4. Which DoDoLayer course should I choose for my child?
4. 我的孩子應該選擇層層學哪一個課程?
Our teachers and staff will recommend the most suitable course based on each student’s age, academic background, and prior experience.
For students with little or no prior knowledge, we highly recommend starting with the Fundamental Stage, where they will learn the basics of 3D printing and CAD design. After building a solid foundation, students can then progress to more advanced robotics courses.
If needed, students are also welcome to take an assessment so that we can better determine the most appropriate course for their learning level and interests.
層層學的老師及團隊會根據學生的年齡、學習背景及過往經驗，推薦最適合的課程。
如果學生沒有相關知識或經驗，我們建議先由基礎階段開始，先學習 3D 打印及 CAD 設計的基本概念，建立穩固基礎後，再逐步升讀更高階的機械人課程。
如有需要，學生亦歡迎參加能力評估，讓我們更準確地為學生安排最合適的課程。
