YOUNG ICT EXPLORERSOn 7 th August, eight of our Year 10 Mechatronics students were invited to present their projects at the University of Queenslandas part of the Young ICT Explorers competition. The event was an opportunity for students in primary and secondaryschool to display their creativity and innovation in using ICTs. Over 60 projects were presented by students from more than20 schools and the prizes consisted of the latest Apple electronic gizmos. The students were judged on three criteria: creativityand innovation, quality and completeness, and communication and presentation. Here is a list of our students’ projects:Emma Anderson & Evelyn ClarkLuis FarebrotherNisala HerathCaillan HooleBrian KimChris PangLoic RobillotSome of the projects created by students from other schools included iPhone applications, interactive websites, computergames, visual special effects and flash animations.Congratulations to Caillan Hoole for placing 3 rd in the Year 10-12 Category.Library book shelving deviceElectronic noticeboard “Noticia”Portable scannerRubbish pickerupperaObject scannerAutomatic binAutomatic binIt is the first year the competition has been held and we look forward to participating in the event again next year.Nisala Herath and the“Portable Scanner”.Emma Anderson(centre) and EvelynClark (right) capturethe judges’ attentionwith the “LibraryBook Shelving Robot”.Luis Farebrother demonstrating“Noticia” to the judges.Caillan Hoole withhis “RubbishPickeruppera” robotPlease visit http://www.youngictexplorers.net.au/ for details of students’ winning designs.Robocup Junior QueenslandWhile Australia was deciding on the fate of the government on Saturday 21 August, our Robocup teams’ fate rested in thehands of the revered robo-god “Robotusarfailin”. But seriously, the cliché “technology doesn’t work when you want it towork” really summed up the weekend of the Robocup Junior competition for our participating teams. This year, our schoolentered only two teams: Dance (Year 8 – Billie Hamilton-Carswell and Siobhan Doig) and Rescue (Year 9 – Carl Foster).The students were new to the competition and in particular, it was the Year 8s first time at building and programming a robot.Their routine consisted of a Scooby theme and they spent numerous hours on perfectingthe routine right up to the day of the competition. In the Rescue category, Carl managed toconquer two challenges – Gridlock and Bridge – that previous teams from our school havetried hard to overcome. Despite the challenges, the students did manage to gain a positiveexperience from the event and it has motivated them to improve their entries for next year’scompetition.Sincere appreciation must go to the parents for supporting the teams during the day and specialthanks to the students for their participation and hard work in designing their entries.David LauMechatronics Teacher16
