Maori/Technology

On June the 25th, studio 14 did Maori/Technology (let's just call it MT) and like all other times, enjoyed it. For MT, we had a situation, which was that we caught flounder, and crayfish, and also fish, but had now way of carrying it all. Or do we... We had to put together an object that would hold all the fish to take home. But there were no elements to use. Or were there... We used 4 little skewers, 3 sheets of newspaper, 2 rubber bands, and one roll of yellow sellotape. Now some people made baskets, and some platforms. We also had 11 minutes to make the basket or platform. So when time down to 15 seconds, everyone was screaming. Then we had to walk across the room without it breaking. 2 failed, but 3 made the cut. In the end those 3 also tied first place with a huge amount of ten school dictionaries, 2 encyclopedias, and Miss Tames drink bottle. She put it on because if the bottle fell they are out. We learnt about the strength of material that platforms are better than baskets and to share our ideas. The best part in MT was basically all of it!
