The main goal of the project, based on its motivation, was to create a set of educational videos that clearly explain CNC technology in woodworking, from data preparation to production. Another goal was to establish an international team of experts to develop teaching methods for modern technologies in wood processing and product manufacturing. Additionally, it was important for teachers to better engage with students and effectively impart CNC technology knowledge, thereby popularizing this technical field and making it accessible to the wider public.
The main motivation for this project was the status of education in modern CNC technologies within wood processing. Student interest in this field is declining, largely due to inadequate educational conditions. Although vocational schools have largely acquired CNC equipment through significant investments in Central Europe, the main issue remains a lack of study materials and teaching methods. Many teachers do not fully understand CNC technologies and are seeking effective teaching strategies. These technologies are complex, requiring comprehensive approaches and direct machine demonstrations. The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted these fields as students couldn't attend in-person classes. Well-focused videos can mitigate the negative effects of such disruptions, applicable in situations like military conflicts or student disabilities. Videos, being the language of the current generation, can quickly and effectively clarify complex topics. The video format is popular for enhancing the field's attractiveness. To ensure its future, teaching methods must be unified, allowing technical fields to offer more international exchange opportunities with recognized education levels.
