The Mind Lad is AMAZING!

On Tuesday, GRi11 went to The Mind Lab in Petone.

We were put in groups and we went around doing all the different activities and rotations. First for my group was scribble bots. Ayah and I made a successful bot from some scrap art materials. But instead of scribbling, it was more like an automatic compass - it drew perfect circles!

Even my dad was getting into it! You ROCK, dad!

Then we did stop-motion animation. You can get toys moving, without your hand in the video!

Our Animation is another post called Where is it?

Then there was Makey Makey. You could do drawings or use metal stuff/moist stuff/things wrapped in tinfoil to play games!

Then we made little cars out of cardboard and foam. Mine didn't work though and I didn't have enough time to fix it. Oh well!

Last we did 3-D printing! You make your model on the computer then it gets printed out. In 3-D form! I made a little 3-D plaque saying SPONGEBOB!
