Ready to take the first step in bringing your creative community vision to life? Our Curriculum Support Officers are here to guide you every step of the way. Should teachers or students have questions about the project, they may join the meeting link anytime between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Mondays to Fridays: meet.google.com/wiu-fcfs-wcg

The same meeting link will also be used for the weekly progress reports of each school. If your school would like to propose designs or collaborate with other schools, especially schools located near one another, to discuss your layouts or plans, please coordinate with us so we can arrange the schedule accordingly. Thank you and stay safe!

Welcome to TKCollab

An inter-school initiative where creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving come together. Throughout the year, students design and build on a piece of land using tools like Google SketchUp, guided by mentors and supported by TechnoKids. At year’s end, all schools unite to assemble a stunning model city, a living showcase of innovation and collaboration. Students gain real-world skills in design, planning, and communication while discovering new talents and career paths. For schools, it's a chance to stand out. For students, it’s an experience that lasts far beyond the classroom. Let’s build something extraordinary, together.

Build Our Future...Together

The TechnoKids Philippines Inter-School Collaborative Project is not just an event—it's an unprecedented opportunity for your students to become the planners, designers, and builders of tomorrow. Leveraging the power of Google SketchUp and 3D printing, schools will collaborate across the nation to design, print, and construct a sprawling, detailed miniature city from the ground up. This isn't just a model; it's a shared vision of urban development, a tangible masterpiece built by the hands and minds of Filipino students. Join us in creating the Philippines' largest collaborative 3D-printed city.

Welcome to TKCOLLAB

The project will consist of 9 distinct areas, each designated for development and containing a total of 121 blocks each area. These areas are planned to support a variety of functions and layouts, allowing for flexible and scalable development across the entire site.

The Project: What We're Building

Over the course of the school year, participating schools will be assigned plots of land within a massive, nine-sector or nine-area map. Each area is subdivided into 121 unique plots—a true-to-life framework for urban development. We will start with area 5.

Your school's mission: Design and populate your chosen plots with structures, homes, and community spaces using Google SketchUp. Through this process, students will master the design, spatial, and logistical puzzles that professional urban planners and real estate developers tackle every day.

The grand finale: Just before the school year concludes, we will gather all the individually printed structures from every school and assemble them onto the master board. The result will be a colossal, unified, 1:500 scale model of a thriving city—a powerful, collaborative testament to your students' skills.

The Educational Impact: Why Principals & Administrators Should Enroll
This project goes far beyond a typical classroom assignment. It's a holistic learning experience that addresses multiple 21st-Century skills and curriculum needs:
- Digital Design & Fabrication: Mastery of Google SketchUp and practical experience with 3D printing technology—skills that are critical in STEM fields.
- Urban Planning & Logistics: Students will learn about scale (1:500), road networks, zoning, and the practicalities of fitting infrastructure (like smaller roads connecting to pre-chosen main roads) into a limited space.
- Collaboration & Vision: Students will understand the need for cooperation and coordination when different groups (schools) are developing adjacent plots of land. This mirrors the complex reality of government and private sector development.
- Real-World Connection: By witnessing a huge, shared project, students will reflect on the challenges of filling all available land and tying this directly to the fundamental human dream of owning a home.
- Visibility and Achievement: Your school will gain national recognition for contributing to this pioneering, large-scale educational achievement.

Getting Started (For Coordinators & Teachers)
Enrolling is simple, the impact is immense.
1. Assigned Block(s): Determine the number of blocks your school is ready to commit to. Larger schools are welcome to take on multiple blocks across different sectors.
2. Tools & Resources: TechnoKids Philippines will provide your base board and lend your school one 3D printer for the duration of the project. We will also provide white filament for printing all structures, ensuring a uniform, professional look for the final assembly.
3. Design & Print: Guide your students as they design buildings, homes, parks, and other infrastructure using Google SketchUp.
4. Final Assembly: We will provide detailed instructions for the submission of your completed 3D-printed structures and base boards. Once received, the TechnoKids team will manage the entire final assembly of all school contributions for the grand unveiling event, where your individual work becomes part of the shared, cohesive city.

General Project FAQs
1. What is the current scope of the project?
  To ensure a focused, manageable, and high-quality first run, the project will concentrate solely on Area 5 of the master map.
  This sector is subdivided into 121 unique blocks (11×11 design units), providing ample space for creativity and collaboration among participating schools.
2. What is the scale of the project?
  The city is being built at a 1:500 scale.
  This means students must design structures that are 500 times smaller than they would be in real life, providing an excellent lesson in scale and measurement.
3. How big is the final assembled map?
  While the full master map is massive, the final assembly for this initial phase will comprise the entire Sector / Area 5.
  We will ensure the final exhibit is displayed prominently for all participants, parents, and administrators to admire.
4. What are the dimensions of one 11×11 blocks?
  In reality, the block of land represents 150m x 200m in real life.
  With the 1:500 scale, you’ll be working with 30cm x 40cm base board.
5. What happens if not all blocks are filled?
  This is a multi-year, evolving process.
  Contribute as much as you can to complete the chosen Area first.

Logistics & Technology FAQs
1. What software must the students use?
  All structural designs must be created using Google SketchUp.
  This allows for easy sharing, collaboration, and standardized file formats for 3D printing.
2. Do we need our own 3D printer?
  No. TechnoKids Philippines will lend your school one 3D printer for the project duration and provide the necessary white filament for your structures.
  This ensures accessibility for all participating schools.
3. Why must the filament be white?
  We require white filament for all structures to create a uniform, cohesive look for the final assembled city.
  This allows the structural design itself to take center stage.
4. Can we design the roads?
  Main roads have been pre-chosen as part of the master map framework.
  However, students are free to design smaller, secondary roads within their assigned plots that connect to these main roads, teaching them about internal logistics and connectivity.

School Participation FAQs
1. Which grade levels can participate?
  This project is best suited for students who are already learning Google SketchUp or are in the high school levels, where STEM and design thinking are part of the curriculum.
2. Can a school select more than one block?
  Technokids will determine the number of blocks and their corresponding land area. Requests for additional blocks will be subject to evaluation.
3. What is the deliverable for the school?
  The deliverable is the kit of materials for the assigned blocks, ready to be integrated into the final city assembly.
4. Where will the final assembly be held?
  The final assembly and unveiling event will be held in a large venue to accommodate the massive size of the complete collaborative city model.
