Anyone can buy something, but figuring out how things work and solving challenges makes it much more interesting. When you build your droid, it truly is yours and is infused with your personality. PARTY ANIMAL: Everyone loves R2-D2 and can’t resist taking a picture with him. Here’s my wife, Maricel, and her friends — the usual scene at my house when friends come to visit!

You might be wondering how builders get the dome, which is painted, to look even more like milled aluminum. You want Rub and Buff, a wax paste with metal in it. You can find it at your local craft shop. A little dab can do a whole dome. It’s like a shoe polish. Once you use it though, you cannot paint over it. I opted not to use it yet. But you can add it anytime. Just search YouTube for techniques to apply it. It takes a lot of elbow grease, but it’s worth it. Issue 76– Left Front Body Panel, Shoulder Seal, Heat Exhaust Shell/Grille, Front Plate/Grille, Allen ScrewsIt is argued that technology in education is only beneficial if it enhances the experiences of educators or learners in some way. However, it is not intended to replace what can be accomplished [ 26]. Mehmood et al. [ 27] proposed that tR2D2 model is inefficient in terms of data collection methods. It does, however, exhibit strong learning impacts in terms of vocabulary pronunciation, acquisition, note-taking, and student presentations. Initially, online learning in China was fraught with difficulties: teachers struggle to adapt, and learners, particularly adult learners, feel overwhelmed by the amount of material they must study. 4.5. R2D2 for Diverse Learners When you browse the club’s documentation and discussions, you’ll notice three references that are important:

Naturally, there are a number of unresolved concerns and questions that must be considered with this paradigm, as well as a number of constraints. In terms of restrictions, it is clear that several concepts overlap many phases of the model. At the same time, this contributes to the model’s utility because some learning activities cater to more than one type of learner; the model also provides a method to make sense of the complexity and opportunities that exist between online teaching and learning. 6. Conclusion Once the kit is built, mount the logic lights to your logic frames. The PSI mounts are a homebrew solution from the club using 1½” PVC pipe fittings from the local home superstore. Teeces lights in their frames, ready for mounting into the dome. A few parts from the hardware store make a nice mount for R2’s PSIs. Wiring up the Dome Motivator with the Pololu motor controller. Wiring up the slip-ring connector. Using R2’s doors to access the electronics helps avoid having to take is dome off to make adjustments. Make sure you use paints of the same chemical family. Most problems occur when builders mix enamel with acrylics without realizing it. Let everything cure as directed and don’t rush.

That wasn’t bad at all, was it?! What do most builders do when they complete their droid? Start a second one. In the meantime there’s plenty of opportunity to show off your R2 at Maker Faire, attend charity events with the 501st Legion, take him to libraries, and brighten up people’s day. You’ll inspire other makers, and maybe make some new Makers too. Within the framework of these results, this paper sheds light on studies that should be conducted on course design or the online educational environment not only in higher education but at all levels of learning. To explore this further, it is necessary to design learning activities with some features that attract most learners. Diverse distance learning activities are also needed to keep students interested and to motivate them to learn on their own. Training the teachers in how to use R2D2 is also necessary for the success of this approach. Finally, further research should explore the evaluation tools used to assess the model to ensure strong higher education outcomes. Data Availability Issue 82– Right Tool Compartment/Door, Centre Tool Compartment/Door, Front Housing/Grilles, Ultrasonic Sensors/Housing, Hinges Landing on Tatooine, the droids were captured by Jawas and sold to Owen Lars, a moisture farmer; Lars charged his nephew, Luke Skywalker, with care of the droids -- but Artoo proved difficult to control. He left the homestead on his own, claiming he was on a mission to deliver a message to Obi-Wan Kenobi. It turned out to be true: the Princess had recorded a distress message for Obi-Wan, detailing what to do with the stolen plans kept inside the astromech. Meanwhile, the Empire began a massive hunt for the droids, leading stormtroopers to kill Lars and his wife, Beru. Luke, Obi-Wan, new companions Han Solo and Chewbacca, and Artoo and Threepio left to help the Princess.

Ismail and Gary [ 34] recommend the R2D2 model of [ 6] for autonomous learning because it outlines a variety of learning activities for various individual learners. Another study by Pinchot et al. [ 32, 35, 36] led to the conclusion that the model proposed in the booklet of activities was effective in integrating ICTs into the second-language learning process while also innovating with the approaches utilised to incorporate pedagogic techniques in this sort of class.

Project Steps

You will build your own R2-D2 from components engineered to look just like the original Star Wars props – plus state-of-the-art modern electronic components. Taking inspiration from the remote-controlled film prop, your fully functioning half-scale model R2-D2 is engineered in the same way, and has been authentically detailed based on the droid seen on screen. The R2 Builders Club was started by Dave Everett in 1999 as a Yahoo Group to share information for “those interested in building a replica R2.” Today the club has grown to thousands of members around the world, with a Builders Council to moderate the forums and oversee the club’s official R2 specifications and part suppliers. Anyone is welcome to join, it’s free, and it should be the first step on your journey to building your very own droid. R2-D2 built by Paul Gentile.

Photo courtesy of Jennifer Micheletti from Roadside Morning Glory The R2 Builder’s Path In distance and online learning, the R2D2 model has been used to make the learning process more dynamic. The findings of this study reveal that R2D2 provides numerous types of teaching activities that could be carried out at the same time in different educational phases. It also improves learning engagement by providing a human voice and, as a result, a stronger virtual connection. It also promotes communication and assists in the resolution of communication issues. Learners’ achievement and contentment are aided by the model’s flexibility and learners assuming responsibility for their own actions, which leads to better learning outcomes. This study, like others, supports the use of R2D2 in the learning process because of its educational effectiveness. 6.1. Practical Implications

Oliver [ 24] shows that learners’ responses revealed that using the R2D2 model creatively in combination with engaged teaching and constructive use of online technologies, as well as stimulating course content, might indeed change some attitudes and behaviours. Learners were encouraged to behave as both learners and teachers who think critically about their place in society and the role they may have in promoting change and passing on their knowledge and skills to others. A number of encouraging gestures were recorded, as well as a few ecumenical collaboration efforts. In their study, Pinchot and Paullet [ 32] mention that R2D2 entails having students use what they’ve learned in a hands-on situation by building or experimenting with their new knowledge. Finally, R2D2 was thought to be useful by the academic librarians who collaborated on the project designed by Lavoie [ 7].

Applying the R2D2 teaching model in online courses would benefit the learning process. First, using R2D2 would give teachers and learners opportunities to develop their own learning styles (as described in Kolb, 1984) [ 37]. Second, the application of the R2D2 teaching model enhances information retention, improves interpersonal skills, and may lead to higher achievement. On the other hand, due to the diversity of learning styles, not all of the activities suit all students. Thus, the learning activities must be designed carefully and must be labelled to encourage learners to explore the information deeply and correctly. This emphasises the application of assessment and performance evaluations. Thus, the academic gains should be confirmed by qualitative and quantitative evaluations of student accomplishments. 6.2.

R2-D2, however, requires a true dome that’s not easy to duplicate. In the past we would have to wait for a “run” of domes to be built by a club supplier, and that wait could be a year or more. Outside of a run, members used BBQ grills, squirrel baffles for bird feeders, and lampshades that closely matched R2’s geometry.
