Embarking on the journey of creating an automated bubble tea dispensing machine from scratch proved to be an enriching and multifaceted learning experience for our group. Throughout the project, we delved into the intricacies of the design process, honing our skills in conceptualizing, prototyping, and refining ideas. The integration of 3D printing not only allowed us to translate our designs into tangible components but also instilled a profound appreciation for the intersection of digital and physical realms. Tackling the electronic circuitry introduced us to the complexities of hardware integration, fostering a deeper understanding of electrical systems and troubleshooting. Coding with Arduino served as the backbone, enabling seamless communication between the various components of the machine. As a team, we learned the art of collaboration, effective communication, and task delegation, essential skills for navigating complex engineering projects. Ultimately, the project provided a holistic learning experience, amalgamating theoretical knowledge with practical application, and leaving us with a profound sense of accomplishment and a repertoire of skills that extend beyond the realm of our initial aspirations.
We express sincere gratitude for the chance to undertake this remarkable journey under the wing of the CN Yang Programme, without which, such a unique and enriching experience would not have been accessible to us. Not forgetting the wonderful staff who have helped us every step of the way, Tony, Prof Ho, and Hanyang. Thank you for this amazing experience!
With love,
