Waikowhai Primary Toolkits

Toolkits At School

 Kia ora everyone, this is another blog post about the toolkits we had at school. The toolkits that we had at school was based on S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math's) week. We had two presenter in each of the twelve toolkits. Before we had the toolkits, we had a Google form to fill in on our chrome books. the google form we filled was about what we wanted to do for stem week on Friday. I wanted to have a go at the spheros, Webcam toy, and Drones,but unfortunately we had to pick something else because someone banged one of the drones into a wall and the all of a sudden,  the rest of them turned off, so I picked Incredibox. 

1. Spheros

My first stop was at the hall where the Spheros were waiting for me. We were introduced by Caleb and Morgan (they were the presenters of this toolkit). After the introduction, we were told to get into groups of four. After we got into groups of four we then got one of our chrome books, went on the bar down below, then clicked on one of the icons that had blue in the background with a white ball that is going fast. We had to use one of the new chrome books because the old chrome books does not have the icon. We got to play with the spheros and we tried to make it jump.

2. Webcam Toy

After Morning Tea, my second stop was still in the hall, but doing Webcam Toy with my two friends presenting, Daiki and Dustine. After the presentation, we got alot of time to have a play on the site where we could take photos with different types of grids. I had so much fun playing on Webcam Toy, I didn't even realize we had finished.

3. Incredibox

For Incredibox, the Toolkit was presented by Lily and Kiani. After the presentation, we also got to have a go at making our own music by clicking and dragging the icons to one of the humans, which makes the human make a beat.

That day felt so relaxing that I wish it could never end.
