Greetings and Salutations viewers, today in this blog I will be talking about my experience during my stay at Tech Steam! So come with me on this Science and Planting journey of Steam!
In the afternoon at 12:00, we started to migrate towards Papakura Intermediate. So when we arrived, we got into our lines and my group was Steam! When our teacher Erika came, she started to greet us with an energetic smile. And so we followed Erika back to our normal tech classes. I put my bag down, and sprinted towards our plants, surprisingly, Haji had the best plant in both hydroponic and traditional soil planting. So, as a class we congratulated haji! So then we sat down and started our session.
Erika told us that we were going to build a Epo-8 construction/electric kit. And our mission was to create a cube with a trap door, to trap something inside. So we got straight to work in different groups that were decided by the random wheel of names. And so we looked at the kit on the ground and we started to grab the poles, unknowingly we didn’t know what to do with the medal poles, so we didn’t use the screws as we were meant to. So as we realized that we were supposed to use the screws 30 minutes ago, our cube was starting to look complete, until we saw that the wheels were untouched. So as my brain started to think, I screwed on the wheel with ease, and made our cube moveable.
But most of the screws, were unable to hold up the cubes weight, so one metal pole fell decisevely. And we screwed it back up again, with more durable force. But then we only had two more minutes to finish this project. And once the timer was over we put our hands up and sadly, our cube wasn’t finished, but we couldn’t blame ourselves because the time we were given wasn’t big. So we peeked over at the other teams cube, and basically was finished to the point where they even added a trap-door in the last 2 minutes. So I would say that our teamwork was spot-on during the making. In conclusion, our construction kit project, and I hope to come across this kit again and build another interesting kit like this once more.
Thank you for reading my blog and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
