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? *Please check out the Eye-Catching Blog Posts page for ideas!

Activity 1: Ministry of Inspiration [4 points]
To be honest I really don't know because one side of me wouldn't join the aquabots team for my school , because its not my type of thing that I would do or join . But the other side of me is like YEAH join because its always a first time for everything right? But even tho if I joined it would I wouldn't know what to do but looking at the video it seems fun but seems difficult since there are a lot of parts connected to one bot that goes underwater and since there;s a lot of parts there will be a lot of buttons controlling it right? But overall I would say I really truly don't know!!
Task Description : For this task I had to answer if I had the chance to join my schools team the Aquabots mainly robots made for under water team or not. Unfortunately I didn't get a answer because my mind wouldn't made its self up my sorry....

Activity 2: Caine’s Arcade [4 points]
Caine Monroy is a 17 year old boy who lives in Los Angeles (L.A.), California. When he was younger, he spent his summer holidays at his dad’s work - an auto parts store in downtown L.A. While his dad was working, he decided to build himself something that he had always wanted - an arcade! He built an arcade all by himself out of cardboard boxes and things that he found lying around the shop.
One day a man came into the store to buy a handle for his car and he met Caine. Caine showed him what he had made and the man was so impressed with the arcade game that he made a movie about Caine and invited all the people in L.A. to come and play the games in Caine’s Arcade!
For this activity we would like to know about your favourite game. It can be a board game, a card game, a game that you play outside with friends (e.g., rugby) or a quiet game that you play by yourself.
On your blog, tell us about your favourite game. What is it called? How do you play it?
