Tech Space visit

On this Tuesday the 24th of may Lake Brunner School went for a visit to tech space. We used all sorts of high tech equipment such as 3 dimensional printers, Infrared sensors, A touchscreen TV and lots more. It is a really good place to learn tech tips here and there. In the future i think we should incorporate the use of the 3 D printer. Here are some photos of our day.

Niko and Jaymin are using a device that you don't need to use the keyboard with.

Our class made a  3 D print of our class name

In this video Eric shows us how to use a cool infrared sensor that detects you hand and pops up on the screen

                               

This little device that Bridget is holding can recognize how fast, what angle, how many steps and much more while connected to Bluetooth. you see the statistics on the ipad.

A kiwi is a flightless bird that lives in only New Zealand. They are in the emu, moa and the ostrich family. There are 5 main types of kiwi. One of these is the great spotted kiwi which is based on the west coast of the South Island. The great spotted kiwi has quirky characteristics, lives in the mountains and bush with many predators and prey.

The great spotted kiwi lives in the bushy and a mountainous habitat.it generally lives in burrows made under old trees or under the roots of a big tree. Each burrow is 3 metres long with a sleeping room for the kiwi at the end. It can be found in these 3 natural locations. These are:north west Nelson, the Paparoa range and Arthur's pass. The great spotted kiwi lives in a habitat with lots of bush and many predators and prey.

The great spotted kiwi has many predators and prey. Its predators are stoats, ferrets, weasels, pigs, brush possums, cats and dogs, which can even kill adult kiwi. In places that kiwi predators are controlled kiwi hatching increases 50-60%. The maximum penalty for killing a kiwi can be up to 1 year in jail of a hefty $100’000 fine.

Kiwi are endangered and protected and we need to save them.
