Kia ora.. 8F1 and 8F2.
Welcome back to school and to a new academic year. I hope you have had a great holiday.
We are Mr Taha and Mr Lal. We are going to be your Robotics and Coding teachers during term1
In this course we are going to explore Micro:bits and how to code them to achieve different outcomes. We will start this week by learning about simple Micro:bits codes and then we learn how to connect Micro:bits to bread board circuit and electronic components. Please check through the attached guides for a start, and we will go through more detail in the class.
WALT-- Understand how technological systems employ control to allow for the transformation of inputs to outputs.
SC-
- Can use technological systems to understand and communicate using Microbit coding.
- Can work with sensors and infrared to control the mainboard output.

Kia Ora everyone
I hope you are all doing well and following the lockdown procedure and advise.
Your task for the rest of the week is to visit Google Classroom and then click on the provided links about Robots and computational thinking.
You need to watch the videos and then attempt the quizes. You can then enjoy the related games in there. BrainPop site will provide you with the useful information about many topics and subjects.

Our task this week is to start making the prototype of either the reaction time game or the Guitar touch tunes. We then can make the actual ones using Microbits, compnents and MDF wood. You need to use a speaker and transistor.
You can visit the Microbit website for the basic code and prototype:
1- Reaction time game
