STEM

Welcome to Term 4 for STEM - lots of exciting things happening in our STEM classes this term. The senior students have been using our brand new micro:bits, a teeny tiny computer that they have been programming to do lots of different things. We've seen students who have programmed animated animals, flashing hearts and lots and lots of noises. For the rest of the term, our senior students will be working on some longer projects where they will be designing and creating using the Maker's Empire program that the 3/4s used earlier this year, culminating in some 3D printing. The junior students continue to blow me away with how quickly they are able to pick up basic coding skills, writing instructions for the wolf to find the Three Little Pigs and then instructions to follow a pattern of blocks.
