19 June 2015

Its now 4 weeks since we blogged and its been a very busy time.
Our 2 weeks of sewn circuits have gone to 4 weeks as we wanted the children to finish the project and be satisfied with the outcome.
We under estimated the time involved and thought maybe 3 weeks at the most. Some of the children still haven't finished after 4 weeks but not many.
On the positive side they look absolutely fantastic with lots of varied and different projects being completed. The variety of size, colour and ideas is great to see and as they were making them they were continually updating their ideas and adapting plans. The hardest thing for everyone was putting that practical wiring knowledge into practice. They had to create their own design then make a wiring diagram to fit into the space and then make it work.
Giving them more time to complete the project allowed the glitches and re wiring to be fixed so they had a finished product. So if you are contemplating doing this then allow heaps of time !
We have put in some pictures and a video to show you how we went.
