Finally after all the hard work making our products for our businesses we had enough money to go to The Mind Lab! Yesterday 21.9.15 we made our way by bus and car to Petone, Wellington.
Just under 50 kids in one bus for 2 hours had got us determined to get to The Mind Lab quick so when we arrived we couldn't have been more happy.
Yesterday was a great day and we had so much fun and learnt so much more things.
The activities we did were; 3D printing, Animation, Robotics and Technoligy and Art.
Here are some photos of what we got up to there:
#selfie Nothing better to do in a bus than taking selfies with friends!
This is Melcom he and another person was taking us and helping us with all activities.
This Melcom and the lady, Benedict, that was helping him take us.
First we went to the 3D printing this is Melcom telling us how it works.
We had to design the print the way we want it to come out.
This is my design. I added a donut because they are yummy.
Next we made cardboard cars with CD wheels a battery powered mother so it moves, 2 straws, 2 squers and so colorful pipe cleaners. Our one failed so we couldn't race it😔😏.
We also did animation. Mine was about a blob that melted and another one of mine was about acid rain in the kitchen they also failed like the car did. In this room we also used paper tin foil and wire to control Mario from the game Mario on the computer instead of using the keyboard it was very cool.
And last of all people made Swiggle Bots that are made from plastic cups, colored pens, rubber bands and a motor.
Sadly it was time to say goodbye the best time for the last photo!!
