DigiCREST

The year 7/8 DigiCREST team, comprised of Nicolas Neilson, Caleb Woisin and Zachary Doyle are in week 2 of their challenge.  their brief is to "Identify a problem in your school or community and use digital technologies to solve it."  The boys have been brainstorming a range of ideas and today settled on one. They noticed that it can be hard for students to focus on their work at times so they have decided to investigate the creation of an educational incentive website.  Their initial ideas involve students recording their in-class work to earn points that they can spend on creating avatars.  They began to trouble-shoot their audience and the site creation and finished their session with a survey of ten students from each of the Aroha, Tautoko and Haepapa pods.  We are now awaiting contact with our industry mentor - its exciting stuff!
