Exploring useful skills for our evolving world.

This term, eight of our Year Eight students were lucky enough to be able to attend a two-day technology conference called Techfest, run by the Aupaki Kāhui Ako. This is an exciting day, where teachers from different schools came together at Sumner Primary School to run workshops on a range of different technologies. 

Our students were selected to participate in a variety of workshops, such as 3D printing, where students were making their own 3D keepsakes, Appcreator, where students had the chance to create their own app and E- Textiles, where students utilised traditional sewing as well as learning how to sew in a range of gadgets. We also had students working on coding and programming and creating music. 

 All in all, the students had an exciting two days of learning outside of the classroom environment and learned some very useful skills for our technologically evolving world.
