Today, our two year 5/6 teams from Kahurangi pod - the 'Whakarongo Technology Terrors' and the 'Whakarongo Brainboxes', explored our new school "Brainbox" kits. These fantastic kits allowed the students to work with sophisticated components, using a simple doming system that allows them to explore.
The teams were able to follow circuit diagrams to create switch and magnetically activated lights, create alarms, music boxes and simple motorised fans. While the equipment the teams will work with in the Epro8 Challenge is purpose designed, today allowed the students to investigate the materials they would need to complete similar projects at next weeks competition.
