A Very Busy Day!
The 'Whakarongo Figure-it-outers' and the 'Whakarongo Slingshots' tried their hand with the Brainbox electronics kits today. They created alarms, music boxes and even an fm radio. The teams are feeling good and are excited about competing next week at the Epro8 Challenge at Monrad Intermediate.
Quote of the Day: "A Capacitor is for storing energy - it is like a bucket of water with a hole in it. You can use it to store up energy and it will hold it for a little bit longer after you turn (the switch) off." - Flynn

The Haepapa and Tautoko students met with me to begin their Teach-a-skill project. We looked at some successful tutorials to get an idea of what we would like to produce as good communicators. Here are the students thinking hard about the goals they wish to set themselves!
Mason knew that good communicators need fluency and expression!
Wairangi spotted that our Youtube tutors were enthusiastic and knew what they were talking about. They were confident in their material.
And then, our hard working Epro8 teams from Kahurangi, gave up their lunchtime to explore pulleys and gears - STEM is well underway for the year!
