Student led toolkits

STEM TOOLKITS

GOOGLE MAPS

Friday the 11th of June (Last Friday), we did toolkits based on STEM! If you don't know what STEM stands for, it stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths. And if you don't know what toolkits are, it's a pair of presenters presenting how to use a so call app, or website. 

First the teachers picked some people to go to toolkits and present. The first toolkit I went to was Google maps. For that toolkit, I had to set a trip form Waikowhai Primary, to Wellington, to Christchurch and back. You could use any kind of transport to get to your destination, but I'm not sure about taking a plane. Next I went to Incredibox.

INCREDIBOX

If any of you bloggers know what it is, I hope you had a great time making music. Incredibox is place where you can make music, and unlock achievements. In Incredibox, you can make the right tunes, to unlock a short video that will play the sound of your creation, only a bit different. 

There are 8 different versions, but the bottom 4 is locked, so the top 4 versions, is all you can make music on. To play with Incredibox, drag the pictures on the bottom of your screen, up to the characters. Once you've done that, your character will make a sound related to the picture to the icon. The third toolkit I went to was Webcam Toy

WEBCAM TOY

In Webcam, you can take pictures with a variety of filters to choose from. You can take pictures with friends, relatives, and others. You can take funny pictures, serious pictures, maybe pictures no one can under stand. You can save and share your photos, you can print it out and put it up on the wall to commemorate a memory. 

Webcam Toy is very entertaining, you could add it to your chrome, and then it will be added to your camera! I really enjoyed my time with toolkits, I felt amazing after learning how to use the apps and websites. Blog you later!
