💻Waikowhai Student Led Toolkits💻


Kia ora bloggers

Last week on Friday the middles and seniors at my school did our own student led toolkits. The reason being that it was STEM week last week. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and lastly Mathematics. In the toolkits there were two awesome presenters out of 24 and you could choose out of 12 different toolkits. A toolkit is where you are either an attendee or presenter. I was a presenter so I could only choose one other one. The things you could choose were. Music lab (which I was presenting), Spheros, Webcam toy, Google maps, Book creator, Word art, Drones, Makey Makey, Brain box, Piskel, Incredibox and slide animation. 

Toolkit 1: Piskel

First of all do you know what Piskel is?  If you don't you should try it out it is really fun. Piskel is basically doing pixel art on an app that you can find on google. In the website you can change the colour of the pen that you use to fill in the different pixels on the screen. You can make a thing that is kind of like an animation and it moves or you can just make a normal picture. I went with my friends and we had fun on piskel. Here is the link: http://piskelapp.com/

Amount of people supposed to be there: 13

Here are some photos







It moves


Toolkit 2: Music Lab (My one and my buddy Paityn's one)

Amount of people:18

First we introduced ourselves and then we told them all about it. Then we taught them how to use it. Talked to them about some of the different types of things to use to make music. Here is the link to Music lab: https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Experiments

Some of the things you can do are shared piano where you send a link to somebody from the music lab site and play piano with your friends.

Toolkit 3: Music Lab (again)

I think that the first one was better because I think it was pure luck but it wasn't to bad. It was basically the same as the first one. 

Amount of people:17

I think that if we got to do it another time I would choose to be an attendee instead of a presenter. It was kind of funny to see all the senior and middles running around in the seniors. It was a fun and interesting way to learn about different things on your chromebook. 

Blog ya later.
