Where do we start ?
We have been going hard out designing, drawing and printing so all three printers have been working overtime. We are continually amazed at the diversity and creativity of our children.

2015 - "We can make a difference"
We have a new topic this term and it is "We can make a difference"
In Tech we have decided that 4 weeks is a very short time to "make a difference" globally so we have decided to do just that but scale it to suit our time frame.
So this is what we are going to do.....
We will design, plan, measure, draw, and construct an item on the 3D printer that will make a difference to someone at home.
Remember it is the small things that count !
If you go to the 3D printing folder you can see what we plan to do...

3D Printing
This term out topic is "Making a difference"
So we decided to use the 3D printers to "make a difference"
They are only little things but they are the ones that sometimes make a big difference to some people !
The Seniors have decided on a project, made drawings and discussed the solution, once it has been approved they have made a set of plans and drawings with very specific measurements.
They transfer that to Tinkercad and then prepared the 3D drawing for the printer....
We have lots of different projects on the go at the moment with Week Three being the time for the completed drawings ready for Tinkercad and then the 3D Printer files
Lots of work to do before it goes to print !!
And then there is our big project all the classes are doing !!!
MORE ON THAT LATER

Marina View Tech Blog
27 August 2014
We do such cool Tech here at school and with us working in all classes from Year 3 to year 8 we decided to blog about it.
We are currently working on rock carving, robotics and 3D printing across the school so theres lots to talk about and lots to share with you.
Year 7 & 8 are carving 3D sculptures out of Hebel and they look fantastic - considering they only started this term... lots of patience and creativity are being displayed this term, its a shame we couldn't have had them finished for the Art Exhibition this week, look at the photos !
We are running a Year 3 and a Year 4 GATE ROBOTICS group twice a week as well and they are learning how to programme the robots to run a Gaunlet Challenge.
we are also playing Minecraft and are looking into learning more coding next term as well, its proving to be very popular at lunchtimes in the MVTV studio.
