The Smart Way To Learn: Using ChatGPT Welcome! In this blog, we'll explore five valuable ways ChatGPT can assist you in your education, ensuring a safe and effective learning experience: Tip 1: Understand Complex Concepts Struggling to grasp a difficult concept? ChatGPT can be your helpful tutor! If you need help with understanding complex concepts, simply ask ChatGPT to explain it in a more accessible way. However, always remember to cross-reference the explanations with reliable sources like lecture slides and textbooks to validate the accuracy of the information. Tip 2: Seek Practical Examples Sometimes, theoretical knowledge can feel abstract without real-world applications. When researching a topic, don't hesitate to ask ChatGPT for practical examples. These examples can bridge the gap between theory and practice, making the subject more relatable and understandable. Tip 3: Generate Additional Practice Questions Have you already done all the practice questions provided for a particular topic? Well, ChatGPT can help you by generating more similar questions based on the ones you already have. By tackling these additional questions, you can reinforce your understanding and improve your skills. You can then ask for the answer once you have completed the list of questions that ChatGPT has given you. Tip 4: Create Custom Mock Papers Preparing for an exam or test? You can use GPT-4 to your advantage! Provide the content you want to be tested on, and GPT-4 can generate a whole mock paper for you. This personalised practice can be an excellent way to assess your knowledge and identify areas that need further attention. Note: You will need to pay some money to use GPT-4, but if it feels like it’s worth it then by all means purchase it Tip 5: Collaborate on Learning Projects Education is often more engaging and effective when shared with others. ChatGPT can facilitate collaborative learning by helping you brainstorm ideas, refine projects, or even simulate discussions with virtual peers. With these 5 top tips you can make your learning experience a lot easier no matter what degree you do! Until next time :) Useful Links: ChatGPT: https://chat.openai.com/auth/login Write your own blog: https://www.kcltech.co.uk/addBlog.php

Event Recap: KCL Tech & UCL Engineering Society 3D Printing Workshop On November 15th, KCL Tech partnered with the UCL Engineering Society to host a collaborative 3D printing workshop aimed at bringing together students from both KCL and UCL. The workshop kicked off with an introduction to the world of 3D printing, showcasing a range of FDM 3D printers available in the lab: the Flsun QQS, Ender 3 neo, Anet A8, and the Wasp. Students received a hands-on tutorial on the basics of handling these printers. Following the introduction, attendees delved into Thingiverse, a platform abundant with diverse 3D models. With 10 minutes to explore, students selected models spanning from adorable animals to intricate jewellery and characters from their favourite shows! The focus then shifted to a tutorial on Ultimaker Cura, a slicing software crucial for translating 3D models into printer instructions. Attendees were guided through the software's interface, learning to integrate new printers and optimise vital settings such as infill, support addition, and build plate adhesion. Once the models were sliced and ready, the printing began! Students eagerly observed their creations materialising layer by layer, sharing the experience and conversations as they gathered around the printers. As prints completed, attention turned to the careful removal of prints from the build plate. Attendees were guided through post-print processes, including support removal and refining prints for a polished finish. The workshop didn’t just impart technical know-how; it served as a social catalyst, fostering collaboration, shared experiences, and creativity among UCL and KCL students. It was an opportunity for diverse individuals to collaborate, learn, and depart with not just newfound 3D printing skills but also their personalised 3D printed models. Overall, this was an incredible event! We hope to see more of you next time! Head of Engineering Specialism, Ra'ad Kawasme
