Activity 1: Nanogirl [4 points] - Presentation

Michelle Dickinson, AKA “Nanogirl”, is a nanotechnologist. That is an engineer or scientist who works with very small items called “molecules.” Michelle is famous for creating cool shows about science which she performs in schools around New Zealand. When she isn’t performing, she is

working as a scientist in her own lab in Auckland. Over the years she has written two books and won many awards including the New Zealand Women of Influence in Innovation and Science Award and The New Zealand Order of Merit for her innovative work.

Like Michelle, many people in New Zealand like to create nano-sized (tiny) things. Some people even like to build tiny houses. For this activity, please visit the ‘Build Tiny New Zealand’ website and scroll to the bottom of the page where you will find a series of Video Tours of tiny houses. Watch any three videos on the site. On your blog, tell us whether, or not, you would like to live in a tiny house one day. Please be sure to tell us why you feel the way that you do.

Activity 2: Printing Prosthetic's [4 points] - Writing

In 1983 a man named Chuck Hull invented the first 3D printer. A 3D printer follows a design that has been created on a computer. The printer simply ‘prints out’ the design in layers, often using a material like plastic. 3D printing has changed the way we are designing and manufacturing (creating) all sorts of things. It is possible to 3D print parts for machines, buildings and even humans!

If you have ever broken an arm and needed a plaster cast you will know that they’re not much fun to wear - especially in summer! Here in New Zealand, a man named Jake Evill has designed a lighter 3D printed plaster cast that is strong, recyclable, waterproof, and ventilated (let’s air in). Check out his design here.For this activity, we would like you to learn more about 3D printed prosthetics (artificial body parts, like hands or arms). Please watch this video about 3D printed prosthetics (artificial body parts, like hands or arms).

On your blog, tell your readers: One thing that you learned from watching this video and One thing that surprised you when watching this video *Please check out the Eye-Catching Blog Posts page for ideas!

One thing that surprised me - 1 Thing that surprised me was the whole video because I didn't know until now that 3-D-Printed Prosthetic Hands were existed but now I do and its such a good programme that helps kids and adults who has lost there hand
One thing that I learnt - I had learnt that you can be able to change the world and kids and adults lives if you think creatively and carefully and put the work in. I also Learnt that everyone should be thankful and grateful to have not losted there hand unlike this unfortunate beautiful kids and adults with big hearts and also it shows you can make anything with anything in this world for sure!!

Task Description : This task was based on learning and finding out what the world has been doing to help us humans. This really got me , and it inspired me that I can do anything with anything but also having a privilege to still have my two hands and 10 fingers with me. This task shows me how thankful I should be and am thanks SLJ!!

Activity 3: Need for Speed [6 points] - Poster

We have had many inventors here in New Zealand who have created things that have changed the world. Two of these inventors were Bill Hamilton (1899-1978) and John Britten (1950-1995).

Bill Hamilton grew up on a farm in the South Island of New Zealand. One of his first inventions was a tow rope to pull skiers up a ski field. His most famous invention, however, is the development of the modern jet boat engine. It allows boats, like the Huka Falls Jet, to travel at lightning speed along rivers. Bill Hamilton invented the jet boat to solve a problem.

John Britten, on the other hand, loved to rebuild vehicles, including motorbikes. He set up the Britten Motorcycle Company from his garage in Christchurch, New Zealand. One of his bikes, the V1000, won a number of international races and set a world speed record for going 304km per hour! Wow! Now that is fast…!

Speaking of fast, for this activity we would like you to design your own fast vehicle. It can be anything! Please draw your super-fast vehicle on paper or use an app to help you. If it was me, I would make my super-fast vehicle something that I could use to get to school and home again each day!

On your blog, post a picture of your speedy vehicle along with a written description of how it works. Tell your readers what your vehicle is made of, any special features, how fast it goes, and who might use your vehicle. *Please check out the Eye-Catching Blog Posts page for ideas!

Activity 3: Need for Speed [6 points]

Task Description : For this task was designing our own cars and telling everything about our designed cars and what it does. The design/car I have choosen was pretty simple but cool and faster than other cars , plus I really like it and it fits me well!
