DAY 5: CREATIVITY +
Activity 1: Ministry of Inspiration [4 points]
So you might have heard of the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Health, right? They are groups of people who give advice to the government. But have you heard of the Ministry of Inspiration? It sounds like fun, doesn’t it?! Well, this is a real organisation based in Nelson, New Zealand. Their aim is to get kids thinking creatively in the areas of science, technology, engineering, arts, maths and society (STEAMS).
The Ministry of Inspiration hosts many cool activities and events, including an Aquabot competition. Aquabots are underwater robots. Have you ever heard of them?
For this activity please watch this video about the Pasifika Aquabots competition that was held in Nelson. The students had to navigate their Aquabots around a swimming pool, collecting things and visiting different ‘islands.’
On your blog, tell us whether you would like to join an Underwater Robotics team at your school. Why or why not?

ReplyDeleteKia Ora Lukas,
ReplyDeleteYou have done an awesome job creating an interesting DLO explaining your opinion on Aquabots. I think they look awesome! I would want to run a Robotics Club at my school so students would have the chance to compete. If you were really interested in creating an Aquabot you should ask a teacher to see if they would be interested in running a robotics club! Maybe you have a digital technology, coding or technology teacher who would love to get involved.
Blog ya later,
Dani
