Creating Independent Thinkers

On Tuesday we had another great example of students following their passions and interests. Pippa and Libby are passionate about sports and were also very interested in how our 3D printer works. They decided to organise a touch tournament for the 3 senior classes and to make the prizes for the winners on our 3D printer. 
They planned the whole event, which included getting permission from teachers, making teams, creating the draw, organising refs and game times as well as thinking about captains and how the whole thing would flow.
They then learned how to use the printer and the printing programme (Tinkercad) and created 3D balls for prizes for the fairest players and 3D whistles for the refs.
They both managed to execute a great afternoon of sports and learned a lot along the way around organising events, being leaders and how to use a 3D printer.
