NJ Maker’s Day 2019
March 28, 2019
On March 21 & 21, Mrs. Weiss hosted Maker’s Day in the media center. There were 8 different stations that students could visit, on their own, or with friends throughout the school day. A few activities included: speeding superhero robots, 3D design, introduction to circuits, and optics/lights. Here’s what a few students had to say about their experiences at Maker’s Day:
6th Grader Bobby Liput: “The VR was fun and scary. I got to go through doors and Pennywise jumped out and scared me! There was also a rollercoaster game that was the six flags ride Superman. It felt so real”
7th Grader James Sun:“I made a Viking on the 3D printer. I used the software on Tinkercad and designed using the shapes on the program. It took about 3 hours to print.”
6th Grader Sarah Rodrigues:“I played with a hula hoop to study momentum. It was fun”
7th Grader Alex Puentes: “The robot sphero was awesome. There was a terrain park set up and we used a joystick on an iPad
to play bowling and sharks and minnows.
