Flatpack Animal Challenge

As part of our Tech Intro 2014, we learnt about how flatpack technology & prefabrication is being used in China to build multi-storeyed buildings rapidly - one storey in one night.

Then we were given our own flatpack challenge........take a look at what we developed.... we had a lot of fun and certainly developed a range of creative animals.

 

Introduction to Technology 2014

'INNOVATIVE IDEAS' was our theme for our introduction to Technology.

This inspired students to look to a range of applications of innovative technology and technological thinking  ... with an eye to future possibilities. 

Exciting innovations included

• Go-Pro Camera
• Flyboard
• Tech Toys 
• iWatch
• Flat Pack Skyscrapers
• The boy who makes apps ... and
• The longest bridge in the world

Take a look at these clips to encourage innovative thinking.... perhaps you could invent a new tech toy or new app......

Welcome to HNI Technology Blog

 At HNI our Technology Department teaches an approach to Technology that involves developing products (technological outcomes) through Technological practice.

Adaptation and innovation are at the heart of technological practice and the development of quality outcomes is encouraged.

We have 5 technological environments within our department.  

• Materials Technology
• Electronics & Control Technology
• Science Technology
• Food Technology
• Film & Media Technology

All students will rotate through each of the areas in Year 7 and in Year 8.

We hope you will enjoy looking at our Technology blog as we share a glimpse of our learning and the range of outcomes that we manufacture. 

We look forward to your comments ....
