Welcome to the Machining & Fabrication Workshop !!
"Hello everyone! My name is Kevin Chi (Kev-in Chee).
I’m the manager of the Computer Workshop in our Maker Space.
Today, we’re visiting the Machining Workshop—this is Mr. Hu’s domain (gesture to him). He’s the expert here!
I’ll help explain in English, but feel free to ask him (or me) questions anytime.
Let’s get started—this place is where metal meets creativity!"
(Smile, greet the group)
1. Introduction (Key Idea: Hands-on Learning)
"This is one of the Six workshops in our Red Bird Maker Space. Unlike our main classroom for group discussions, here we focus on hands-on practice. Our Red Bird Master’s program is project-based, so students often need to build prototypes. This workshop provides tools, space, and support to help them turn ideas into real machines!"
2. Materials & Equipment Overview
"We mainly work with metal, but also materials like nylon and acrylic. All our machines are industrial-grade—very precise! For example, you’ll see CNC lathes, milling machines, and more. Students can do cutting, drilling, bending, and other operations here."
3. Walking Tour (Point to Equipment as You Go)
- Workbenches (入口处):
"First, these four workbenches are for basic hands-on tasks. Each has a fully stocked tool cart—everything students need!"
- Milling Machines (铣床):
- "These two 3-axis milling machines can drill and cut with 5-micron precision—that’s as accurate as professional factories!"*
- Sheet Metal Tools (折弯机/剪板机):
"Next, these machines bend and cut metal sheets. They’re easy to use, perfect for beginners."
- CNC Lathe (数控车床):
"The CNC lathe at the back makes symmetrical parts, like these bullet heads and vases. It’s one of our most versatile tools!"
"位于后面的数控车床可以制作对称零件，比如这些弹头和花瓶。它是我们最versatile多功能的工具之一！"
4. Samples & Interaction (夹层展示区)
"Up here, you’ll see samples made by students and staff—all using our machines. Feel free to look around! If you’re curious how something was made, just ask."
"在这里，您会看到学生和工作人员制作的样品——全部使用我们的机器制作。请随意参观！如果您对某件物品的制作方式感到好奇，尽管提问。"
5. Closing (Invitation to Explore)
"This workshop is where creativity meets skill. You can build anything—from a tiny box to a robot! If you’d like to try, we welcome you to join us and learn by doing. Any questions?"
1. 开头互动 (代替直接介绍)
✅ "How many of you have ever used tools like a drill or saw before? (举手互动) Well, here you’ll get to use their bigger, cooler versions!"
（先用简单问题暖场，再引出工坊的“工业级”特点）
2. 复杂设备“一句话解释”
- CNC Lathe: "This machine spins metal super fast and carves it like a sculptor!"
- 5-micron精度: "It’s so precise, it could shave a hair vertically! (用手比划“细”)"
（用比喻/夸张让技术概念更生动）
3. 结尾鼓励参与
✅ "We update our student projects on this board (指展示墙)—maybe YOUR work will be here next time!"
（用“未来可能性”激发兴趣，比单纯邀请更具体）
4. 遇到卡顿时用的“缓冲句”
- "Let me show you what this machine can do—it’s easier to understand when you see it in action!"
（边说边走向设备，给自己时间组织语言）
- "The technical name is a bit long, so we just call it the ‘metal bender’!"
（用昵称化解术语压力）
Welcome to the Carpentry & 3D Printing Workshop!
(站在入口处，面向参观者微笑)
1. 开场介绍
"So next part ! Let me show you one of the most creative /popular spaces in our Maker Space — the Carpentry & 3D Printing Workshop."
(稍作停顿)
"this workshop is all about wood but not metal turning ideas into physical objects through hands-on work."
→ 过渡到工坊用途
"You might wonder — what exactly can students do here? Well, let me walk you through the space!"
2. 材料与安全
"First, you'll notice most projects here use wood, plastics, and other non-metal materials. These materials are safer and easier to work with, especially for beginners."
→ 过渡到玻璃房区域
"Now, follow me to the heart of woodworking — our glass-enclosed machinery area."
3. 玻璃房木工区
"Here we have all the classic woodworking tools like band saws, sanders, and planers. These are perfect for learning fundamental skills — cutting, shaping, and smoothing your creations."
"在这里我们有所有经典木工工具，如带锯、砂光机和刨床。这些工具非常适合学习基本技能——切割、塑形和打磨你的作品。"
4. 3D打印与数字制造区
"Now, let's step into the digital fabrication zone — where ideas leap from computer screens into reality!"
"现在，让我们步入数字制造区——这里是创意从电脑屏幕跃入现实的地方！"
(指向3D打印机群)
- "Our 3D printers support materials ranging from basic PLA to industrial-grade filaments. The best part? You just upload your design, press print, and come back later to find your part ready!"*
"我们的3D打印机支持从基础PLA到工业级耗材的各种材料。最棒的是什么？你只需上传你的设计，点击打印，稍后回来就能找到你的作品已经准备好了！"*
→ 过渡到激光切割
"And for flat designs, we have these laser cutters and waterjet machines — they can cut through almost any material with razor-sharp precision."
"对于平面设计，我们有这些激光切割机和水射流机器——它们能以极高的精确度切割几乎任何材料。"
5. 样品展示与互动结尾
"Before we finish, be sure to check out our project gallery here."
(走向样品区，拿起一个显眼的作品)
- "Like this (举例：gear system/architectural model) — designed and built entirely by students using both woodworking and 3D printing techniques!"*
→ 邀请式结尾
"This workshop is where tradition meets innovation. Whether you want to carve wood by hand or print complex geometries, we have the tools to support your creativity."
(停顿，微笑)
"I'd be happy to demonstrate any equipment — just let me know what interests you most!"
1. 技术操作类问题
Q1: "What’s the most beginner-friendly tool here for someone with no experience?"
✅ 回答示例:
- "The belt sander (指向砂带机) is great to start with—it’s safe and perfect for smoothing wood! For digital tools, the 3D printers are very user-friendly—just upload a file and press print."*
Q2: "How long does it take to 3D print a small object?"
✅ 回答示例:
- "It depends on size, but a smartphone-sized piece usually takes 4-6 hours. We recommend designing and printing overnight!"*
备用话术：应对突发情况
- 如果被问倒：
"Great question! Let me ask Mr. Hu/the expert here to give you a precise answer."
- 如果问题太专业：
"That’s a bit technical—I’ll show you our manual with diagrams, it’s easier to understand!"
