Tamaki College Tech

This week at Tech for graphic design's we continue to try and finish our layout of our game so we can soon use the 3D Printer to print out what we need for the game. After that we got to make a moon on tinkerpad.com which is the website you use to print out your games. But we used it to practice and learn how to use it. So first when we started making the moon we had a shape of a cylinder we made the width larger and the height taller so we can copy the shape and then group them together then it should get rid of half of the shape then it will make it look like a moon. Then we started by making two circles that are the same height and width then in the middle of both of them would be a square but the same size as well. If you group them then it would make it look like a pill then we would copy it and make it a little smaller then group them then there should be a hole in the middle. Then we added the first letter of our first names and last names. Then we got to make our teacher it was fun cause we were starting on the website so it might look bad like mine, Now we are used to using the website cause of the practice we had also our teacher said whoever has the best looking one gets there one printed. Tech was actually fun and educational.

This week at tech the year 7 group were working on choosing a game we can play on paper and turning it into a 3D game but before that we got into groups of 3 people or 2. So we had to think of how we can turn it into a 3D game. The game we started to focus on was hangman my group decided just to use Lego blocks to build the structure and so it was easy to build it. Our first idea was to to curve out a wooden person and wooden hook and us strings to pull the person up but we thought that it might be to complex. We also had two games but we would be working on the other game next week.

This week for tech I was up to sawing my wood plank. So our teacher Mr Grundy had a white board list when we don't know what to do then we write our name on the board and he will call your name and come to you and help you. Without the process I wouldn't understand what to do. So I was suppose to make a joint and I am almost finish doing it I just need to clear a hole that my plank can fit in. After that we got to play a game it include small sticks and the last person with the last stick is out. If we win against Mr Grundy we win a handful of M&Ms.
