6/5 students have been getting creative and designing their own circuits using LEDs and copper tape to round off their unit on electrical circuits and switches.
Solving problems with STEAM PUNKS
This week year 6/5 boys were put to the test to solve the problem of how to successfully power a LEGO car. Students used Innobits to create a circuit, which then drove their creation. The boys also created a basic warning system using a slider module and a LED module. Well done boys!

Scratch Jr: Be Safe
Students in 2C decided to code a story about being safe, one of ICSS’s school rules.
Firstly, they used Popplet, 
a mindmapping app, to brainstorm ideas about the story line, characters, setting and scenes.
After finalising their ideas, they created each scene in Scratch Jr 
One of the students from 2C then presented a combined version of their movie at assembly. Students had lots of fun developing their Digital Technology skills this term.
Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies
Electronics and Problem Solving
Students have been experimenting with Innobits and LEGO in STEAM PUNKS. This week’s challenge was to create a robot with LED eyes. Students created the robot, then threaded long LEDs using LEGO Technics bricks. As an extension, students created a movable appendage.
