Maker Space starts to take shape!

Last week Mr Spicer, Mrs Hayes and I took a group of students to Diamond Age in Auckland to build a 3D printer for the school.  Visiting a truly innovative New Zealand business was an awesome experience and the students enjoyed learning about the ideas behind the construction.  With only fine tuning required to complete the printer we then took off to visit Taupaki School where their Maker Space had been operating for some time.  We were able to speak to the students, teachers and even see a robotics session in action.

At Stanley Avenue our Maker Space is now ready for action.  The 3D printer will join our radio and TV stations with our robotics programme and really give students a chance to create and innovate!
