Mindlab

We had a fantastic time at the Mindlab this week. Our learning was vast and varied. We discovered, during our Makey Makey session, how electrical connections can activate a sound, we also tried out some programming. Stop animation was a favourite activity for many. We used our fable stories and animated our characters.  We worked on some computer programmes to achieve the animation which involved alot of new learning. I was really impressed at how quickly the class picked up all the new technological learning.

We were also lucky to see some robotics and programming, as well as play with some tablets that had Aurasma (an APP).

Lights, camera, action!

Most of the class stepped into a virtual world with the help of some google cardboard and a smart phone. Very clever indeed.

A hard working team, animating their fable story

Who is this Penguin,
and what are they doing in Mindlab?

Nearly finished.
Just looking for some background music

In Makey Makey we created instruments

Does it work? Can you make music?

Thinking hard!
Programming their Makey Makey kit.

Malcolm showed us how to
programme a robotic car

The boys have made some drums!
Great Makey Makey session

Lunchtime was a chance to chat and
explore the space

Look at the concentration.
Did it work boys?

Enjoying the challenge?

Working as a team helps our learning

Not just a high five but a connection!
