Genius Hour

Posted on by

Last Friday we had a fantastic Genius Hour session. We had quite a bit of variety in the creations that were made and everyone was highly organised, which helped our session be really successful.

Some of the activities that the students did were:

  • baking different goodies
  • book making
  • 3D Model designs using Maker’s Empire
  • cardboard model making
  • cardboard arcade games
  • teddy bear sewing
  • and Super Pad song making.

Everyone had a great session because they were organised, knew the order of the steps to complete their projects, had all of the materials they needed and worked well with a partner.

What was your favourite part of Genius Hour last week?

3D Printer

Posted on by

This term Craigburn Primary School has won 2 3D printers as a part of the Maker’s Empire project in schools in South Australia. We have the smaller printer in our classroom and the printer for larger projects is in our school Library.

The first challenge for our class was to create a design that reflected our class and our values.

Here is our very first print job – Jesse’s 3D design. He made a very detailed design and we all loved seeing it. We can’t wait to see the other designs that our class members come up with.

What would you like to design next for printing?
