student toolkits

HELLO BLOGGING world!!!

Yesterday 24 students from Waikowhai and all the other schools from Ako Hiko went to new Windsor school with thier chrome books for a thing called student tool kits.When all the schools arrived in the auditorium we got a warm welcome from the New Windsor Schools principal and Gerard. Then we had a little competition 2 people from each school would come  down on to the basket ball court then those 2 people from the 8 schools got a Ipad and a Sphero.  A Sphero is a robot shaped as a sphere that you code to move around our two people were Max and Lily. Here is a video of them practising

after the competition we had morning tea out side in the play ground.After morning tea we went to our first work shop.My one was tinker cad  in Room 13 the internet was really slow at first so I only got a little bit to actually tinker . here are 2 photos of me and some of my other friends tinkering

after work shop 1 every one went to work shop 2. In work shop 2 I was teaching some students with Bruno and Oscar. We were teaching people how to make a google slide animation. here are some pictures of me Oscar and Bruno teaching.

Then after the work shop we all went back to the auditorium to have lunch then play for a bit.Now time for challenge number 2. Problem solving  we had 4 people from each school to do the challenge our 4 were Anuk, Izzy, Joyce and Dora.The aim was to make a tower at least 10 cm tall and it had to be able to hold a 100 gram weight. the materials you could use is straws, tape, 1 m of string and scissors.Here are some photos
