Kulethwe ngu
Okwaqala ngo-2008 njengombono wowesifazane oyedwa wokusebenzisa imiklamo yokwakha nokwakha ukuze kuguqulwe imiphakathi futhi kuthuthukiswe imfundo ye-K-12 manje kushintsha izimpilo zabafundi abasebasha kakhulu njalo ngonyaka.
Iphrojekthi H, eyasungulwa umklami nomakhi ophenduke uthisha u-Emily Pilloton, izinikele ekudaluleni intsha - ikakhulukazi amantombazane amancane - emhlabeni kanye namathuba okuklama, ubunjiniyela kanye nezakhiwo. Inhlangano engenzi nzuzo ifundisa ukuklama iteration, ukuthinta, ubuciko obusetshenziswayo nesayensi, namakhono okwakha amakhono. Futhi, okubaluleke kakhulu, ikhombisa kubafundi bayo ukuthi bangadala kanjani ushintsho olukhulu noluzinzile emiphakathini yabo nasemhlabeni.
Eminyakeni yakamuva, abafundi be-Project H basebenze futhi baphothula amaphrojekthi amaningi aphawulekayo - okuhlanganisa imakethe yabalimi engamamitha angu-2,000, umtapo wezincwadi wesikole, ikilasi elingaphandle, ikhaya elincane kanye namabhodi abo okushwiba. Abafundi baguqula imibono yabo ibe ngokoqobo besebenzisa inhlanganisela yamathuluzi e-analog, izindawo zokusebenza ezichwepheshile kanye nezinhlelo zokusebenza ze-ISV ukuze baguqule imidwebo yabo ibe amamodeli edijithali namamodeli abo edijithali ayenze izinto ezingokoqobo ngokuphrinta kwe-3D.
Kuleli hlobo elidlule, inhlangano engenzi nzuzo ibe nemisebenzi eminingi ukuze inikeze onjiniyela bayo abancane nabaklami. Ukuqala, i-Project H iqale iseshini yayo elandelayo ye-Girls Garage, ikamu layo elimatasa lamantombazane amancane, laqala ngo-2013.
Phakathi naso sonke isikhathi sekamu, amantombazane athatha amaphrojekthi ayinselele eSikhungo Sabesifazane Sosuku Lwasemini, uzakwethu wase-Camp H ohlinzeka ngosizo lokwelulekwa, ukufakwa kwemisebenzi kanye nezindlu kwabesifazane abangenamakhaya nabahlukunyeziwe kanye nezingane zabo. Abakhi abasebasha be-Project H abanesibindi basebenze ndawonye ukuze baphumelele amakhono abo ngesikwele sesivinini, i-tape measure, i-chop saw, i-drill, umshayeli, i-sander kanye nebala lokuqeda ukuze banikeze i-WDDC ishalofu elisha lezincwadi, isistimu yebhokisi leposi kanye neyunithi yedeski eyakhelwe ngaphakathi. Abakhambi baphinde babamba iqhaza ohambweni oluhlukene lwenkundla nezinkundla zokucobelelana ngolwazi - okuhlanganisa nohambo lokuya kumadizayini wamazwe ngamazwe kanye nefemu yokubonisana i-Ideo, lapho bavale khona isonto beklama ojosaka babalingani babo.
Ubumnandi basehlobo buqhubekile nomcimbi ka-Project H othi “Women in Engineering”, uchungechunge lwezinsuku eziningi lapho amantombazane esikole esiphakathi abe nethuba lokulalela izindaba zabanye besifazane abakhuthaza kakhulu emkhakheni wobunjiniyela abanezizinda zobuchwepheshe nezomklamo. Lo mcimbi wawunezethulo ezivela kwabesifazane abahlukahlukene, kanye nohambo oluya emabhizinisini anobunjiniyela njengengxenye enkulu yokuhamba komsebenzi wabo - njenge-Autodesk.
“Njengomklami nomakhi, indawo ibaluleke kakhulu kimina ngoba isho ubunikazi,” kusho uPilloton. “Sithola ukwenza indawo eyethu. Ngicabanga ukuthi ukwazi ukuthi emantombazaneni ethu, ‘Lena indawo yenu hhayi eyomunye umuntu,’ kuyinto enamandla kakhulu.”
Uhlelo lokuqala, olwethulwe ngoSepthemba, lwalunezikhathi ezinikelwe ekusebenzeni kwensimbi okuyinkimbinkimbi; ukuphrinta isikrini ukwenza izikibha, amaphosta nezikhwama; umsebenzi wezinkuni; nokubaza. Inhlangano iphinde yethula izinhlelo ezengeziwe kulokhu kukwindla, okuhlanganisa ikilasi Lokuklama/Lokwakha Komphakathi elivumele amantombazane ukuthi axhumane nekhasimende lomhlaba wangempela ukuze adizayine futhi akhe okuthile okudingwa yiklayenti.
Ukuqinisa uthando lwabo, ithimba leProjekthi H lithembele ochungechungeni lwezindawo zokusebenza zeLenovo Thinkstation P - njenge CabangaStation P500 nge-NVIDIA Quadro K2200 kanye ne-P300 ene-NVIDIA Quadro K620 - kanye ne- I-ThinkPad P50, esebenzisa okwakamuva Amaprosesa we-Intel Xeon. Igunyazwe ukusebenzisa izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-ISV ezivela ku-Autodesk ne-Adobe, iziteshi zokusebenzela ze-Lenovo zisiza abafundi be-Project H ekwenzeni amaphupho abo okuklama aphile ngokunikeza isikhathi sokuklama esisheshayo esingu-80% kanye nokwenyuka okungu-70% kwenani eliphelele leminikelo yekilasi. Phezu kwalokhu, iziteshi zokusebenzela zeLenovo zivumela inani eliphindwe kabili lomkhiqizo wephrojekthi, okunikeza i-Project H ithuba lokusingatha amakilasi ayisishiyagalombili engeziwe asekelwe kubuchwepheshe ngonyaka.
"Sisebenza nezingane, futhi izingane zingacekela phansi izinto," kusho uPilloton. "Izinhlelo zeLenovo beziqinile futhi zithembekile, zimelana nabafundi bethu nsuku zonke."
U-Pilloton nabafundi bakhe bayazi ukuthi iziteshi zokusebenzela ze-Lenovo zizonika amandla ngempumelelo i-laser etcher yazo, i-vinyl cutter nephrinta ye-laser ukuze zithathe imibono yazo yokuklama ukusuka ekukhulelweni kuye ekupheleni. Futhi uma kuziwa kusofthiwe yamaphrojekthi awo akamuva, amantombazane ahlanganyele ne-Adobe illustrator yamaphrojekthi ezinkuni e-laser, i-Autodesk 123D, i-Fusion 360 ne-SketchUp yendalo ye-3D nokuningi.
I-Project H iyaqhubeka nokuthinta izimpilo zabafundi abancane abaningi. Selokhu lwasungulwa lolu hlelo selubhalise abafundi abangaphezu kuka-800, u-92% wabo abafunde emakolishi aneminyaka emibili noma emine. Amantombazane aqede amaphrojekthi omphakathi angama-24 okuklama nezakhiwo, kanti u-95% walabo ababambe iqhaza bathi bazizwa beqiniseka ngokwengeziwe ezenzweni zabo zomuntu siqu, benobuhlakani ngokwengeziwe futhi beqiniseka ngokwengeziwe emsebenzini wabo esikoleni.
Njengoba iqhubeka nokuba nomthelela kubantu abangaphezu kuka-90,000 e-US nasemhlabeni jikelele, inhlangano engenzi nzuzo ilwela ukunikeza abafundi abasebasha amathuba okwenza izinto ezimangalisayo, ikhulise ukuzethemba kwabo namasethi wamakhono ukuze ibasize besabe kancane, bakhe okwengeziwe futhi babe onjiniyela abaphumelele futhi abaklami bakusasa.
Ukuze uthole okwengeziwe ngalawa maphrojekthi nokuthi yini ezayo, yiya ku Ikhasi lephrojekthi H bese uhlola Lenovo ikhasi kanye.
I-Project H ibambisene ne-Lenovo ukuze ibe yingxenye yohlelo lwabo lokubandakanya amakhasimende lwe-“ThinkRevolution”, olubungaza abasebenzisi bendawo yokusebenza ye-Lenovo abasebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-Lenovo ukuze baguqule izimboni zabo futhi benze umthelela omkhulu emiphakathini yabo nasemhlabeni. U-Lenovo uzobe esebenza no-Project H kanye nezinye i-“ThinkRevolutionists” emhlabeni wonke nezimboni eziningi ezihlanganisa lo moya - ukuzisiza ukuthi zabelane ngezinto ezizifezile ezihlukile futhi zikhuthaze imisebenzi yazo ebalulekile yokudala umthelela omkhulu nakakhulu.
