In the DT Committee meeting this week Candace from the Hive showed the Committee Apple’s Forger App for 3D creation. Candace says that Forger is more like moulding than Tinkercad and you use an iPad with a pen. Candace also showed us the fish that she had created as she experimented and learnt how to […]
The DT Committee were amazed by the new 3D printers from Prusa. These new printers are different because they use PLA and they don’t have sides. Toni, Amy and Chrissie worked on some 3D projects, and they looked at the settings for the calibration of the 3D printer.

In the committee meeting yesterday, I shared some really useful links about learning how to create 3D files. Here is a video that shows you the concepts – Tinkercad I recommend starting an account in Tinkercad and doing LEARN lessons Instructables I also recommend using Instructables as they have projects with step-by-step instructions. They also […]
This term the Digital Technology Committee girls decided to get involved in a range of different projects. These are some of the making, coding and 3D printing projects that they have started in the Maker Space. But now that we’re doing online learning at home, I’m wondering what technology the DT Committee members have found […]
The DT Committee was exploring new technologies in the realms of motion sensors and robotics. We have woken up the Spheros and have named them accordingly. We have also started downloading the Sphero apps on the school’s iPads for student use. However, we encountered quite a few problems along the way, and Cam from the […]
On the 6th of May, eight Wilderness students from years nine, eleven and twelve attended a CEDA (Committee for Economic Development of Australia) lunch to learn about, ‘Artificial Intelligence and Ethics: the future of work’.
