STEAM News
Our Year 8s and 9s have been learning how to use the Green Screen setup in the STEAM room.
The Year 8s have been using the Green screens to develop scenarios for Health in relation to decision making in situations involving alcohol.
As part of their comedy unit, Year 9 girls are exploring the genre of satire. Creating their own 'fake news' shows, the girls are putting their satirical skills to great use. This seems to be a particularly pertinent topic to explore and the girls are having great fun in putting together their news segments using the green screen.
The STEAM Term 3 Thursday Lunchtime sessions are now finalised, we encourage as many students as possible to bring their lunch and attend.
See you all in Term 3 and contact us below if you have any questions regarding STEAM @ MGC.
Introducing PAO, our Humanoid Robot
PAO, our humanoid robot was generously donated by MGC’s Parent Association. PAO is a complex robot who can walk, feel, hear, speak, see and reproduce human behaviour. The students have coded PAO to participate in Swinburne’s Everyone Dance Nao completion and to meet and greet parents on information nights.

Supporters of MGC’s STEAM program
The STEAM program would like to say a huge thank-you to the Parents Association for the grant to buy 6 new Lego Mindstorms EV3 sets. These new additions mean we now have a class set of robots to use for programming, experimentation and problem solving. They will be widely used in a number of programs.
