The Mind Lab

Yesterday the 22.09.15 Tuesday Gri11 went to The Mind Lab and we did heaps of activities.

  This activity we had to make cars that we were going to race. For this you had a one piece of card board that had cut up straws on the end of each side. Then you had a 4 CD disc's that you used for the tiers and pieces of foam to hold the tiers on, and then you also had a small motor, some wires with batteries that you had to put together and a little fan to put on the end of the motor. Last of all was tape to stick it all together.

 This is the stop motion animation and here we had a computer and a camera that connected up with the computer and the we had a scene and some toys that we could put there. For this to work you had to just slightly move the characters or else it wont look real. Did you know the Box Trolls movie was done like this.

 Next making music with wires and a computer game this was a cool thing to do. you needed some wires and a little plate with arrows from a computer on it like up, down, left, right and space. this way you could play a computer came with wires.

   This is 3D printing and we all got to design what ever we wanted on the computer and the the printed it out. Some of use got it on the day but the rest of us will het it in term 4.

This is the last one and we also need a motor and some wires with batteries in it for this one too.

these are called scribble bots and we used pens, motors, wires, a plastic cup and some tape.

my group failed a couple of times but the we got it to work it was amazing.

We all had so much fun at The Mind Lab and we are so proud of our selfs that we fund raised for it.
