Students participated in workshops which included 3D printing, Sphero Winter Olympics, Scratch & Makey-Makey, e-Textiles, music to my ears using GarageBand, App Creator, Stop-Motion Movie Making and Coding with BBC Microbit. It was fantastic to see the level of engagement and motivation shown by all students and was a fantastic opportunity to work alongside other students within our Kahui Ako.

For Techfest I did "Stop Motion". We got to make a movie about whatever we wanted. My movie was about a lego character who fell into the snow face forward. We watched a video on how to make a Stop-Motion video and then made our own. I found it easy.  Scarlett

For Techfest I did "e-Textiles".  We had to stitch our own toy and add a glowing eye with a light. We also made a bookmark with conductive tape. I found it challenging as I kept on making mistakes but now I can do it.  Leah

For Techfest I did "Music to my ears - GarageBand". I learned lots of good skills on GarageBand and new styles of music. I created a sound track based on the movie 'Tron'.  It was really fun.  Tom

For Techfest I did "App Creator". I did a tutorial to learn how to do it. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.  I made a book.  George

Thank you to Orry for your support and leadership with the Scratch & Makey Makey workshop.
