The Faculty of Science and Technology at Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi (RMUTT) has launched a transformative educational camp called “Ikkyusan Camp 1: Young Innovators Create Embedded Intelligence Innovations.” This initiative, developed in collaboration with the Information Technology Foundation under the Royal Patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), aims to develop electronic skills and computer programming competencies.
Deputy Dean of Administration and Planning, Asst. Prof. Alongkot Suwannamanee, acting as Dean of Faculty of Science and Technology, stated that this project supports the continuous empowerment of technological skills. Running for over seven years, the initiative promotes sustainable development and life-long learning. This year’s camp focused on five key areas:
1. Building foundational knowledge in programming and embedding intelligence with sensors.
2. Enhancing analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
3. Promoting teamwork and effective presentation strategies.
4. Encouraging creative innovation with embedded intelligence technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things), 3D printing, and AI.
5. Strengthening project management and resource management skills.
Assistant Professor Dr. Chulaluk Wattananon, Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology at RMUTT, as a lead instructor and project team member, mentioned that the Ikkyu Camp was conducted over three days. The training sessions were attended by 158 participants, including 43 monks and novices from the Paripattidhamma School, 34 teachers and students from network schools, and 81 youth and supervising teachers from juvenile observation and protection centers.
Additionally, over 15 students from the Faculty of Science and Technology at RMUTT participated as assistant instructors. The camp featured a diverse range of activities, including foundational lectures, group-based coding workshops, game creation activities, and importantly, the development of small-scale innovation projects using Problem-Based Learning (PBL) combined with Design Thinking to foster creativity. Participants were highly engaged, showing enthusiasm and coming up with intriguing ideas.
Moreover, the camp provided broader opportunities for diverse target groups, especially youth from juvenile centers and novices, helping to reduce inequality in educational access and skill development. This initiative supports rehabilitation and opens new opportunities for a better life through technological and knowledge skills.
