This week we learned how to make circuits with pistons using redstone. I took a photo; a ‘selfie with friends’ as it has been described by Nick (year 10 student) who facilitates the jam.
I also recorded part of the session when Nathan (son of one of the teachers, Kate) was demonstrating his canon.
Here is a video recorded by Vivienne (a teacher) showing us building the redstone circuits under the instruction of Nathan.

I’m currently looking into gaming and game design and how these could be integrated into teaching and learning in Science. My focus at the moment has been in the use of Kodu Game Lab and Minecraft. Early days as I’m just trying to develop some basic skills in how they work. Over time I’ll also been experimenting with quests.
