Trip to the museum!

For the past two days the extension group and some other people got to go to the Auckland Museum! On Monday and Tuesday we had a fantastic experience. We were so excited! When we got to he Museum we got into our groups and did a little activity with our Museum instructors. Their names were Wendy and Gabriel. We pulled out pieces of paper out of a container and saw if it went in the deep sea or in the rocky shore. Then we split in half and half of us explored the Museum and the other half started to learn more about coding the robots and controlling the VR World.


After that we had lunch and they provided lunch for us, it was quite yum. Then we did the same thing as the other group, in other words we rotated. My group of four did VR first, we just started looking around the island and then we got to make our own! It was just a small one though. Then after that we went to the robot section and coded the robot to walk around a course that we made. It was so fun and we even had some challenges along the way. When we finished with the robots we went and sat down on chairs and started to make a character that we could put on a screen and make it look like it was in the real world. When we finished that we said our good byes and went back to school.                                                            

   

The next day we went to the museum again and it was really fun because we got to make our own VR World! First we planned then we started to see where the pieces of our land would go. Bye the way we chose to do the Rocky  Shore. After doing that we built our land and it looked so cool. When we finished that we had to film it with the tool on our controller. After filming it we had to fill out a survey. Then we said good bye again and headed back to school.

Thank you so much Auckland Museum for giving us this great opportunity. Hope to see you next year.
