Year 3 - Earthquake Alarms, programmers in action!

News

27th November 2020

As part of our work on Kiwis and Quakes, Year Three designed, made, programmed and tested earthquake alarms using sensors from Lego Wedo.
 
We programmed tilt sensors to act as the alarms and then tested them using model shake tables which we made out of Lego and got moving using motors. We worked collaboratively and were able to bring our own creativity to our programs and designs.
 
We had fun solving problems together and seeing our alarms work. Wow! Great work Year 3!
