Site Information

Please note - if you intend using this material or sharing the link (such as a presentation etc) can you please let us know so that we can share the feedback and ideas with those students and teachers who are responsible for the creation of this site.

We are a wonderful Apple Distinguished  School of 200 students who are very lucky to be using iPads 1:1 from South Taranaki, New Zealand.   Most of the work that is posted here is from Room Seven , Auroa School which is (in 2025) a classroom of twenty five students who are Y3/4 in New Zealand (seven and eight year olds) - although we also publish work completed by some of the older students and also some of our amazing staff (as noted in each post).  To visit our school website click on this link.

We use our iPads to work with apps such as #Tinkercad to create CAD designs which we then AR/VR and turn into designs, projects and 3D Prints.    We also use our iPads across the curriculum here in New Zealand including all aspects of our literacy, numeracy and writing.   

If you would like to get hold of the teacher the email is at the bottom of this page. (either mwebb@auroa.school.nz or myles.webb@gmail.com).  He is very happy to help with any aspect of the technology that is displayed via this blog.

August 2025: Uodate on Technology

We started using a combination of machines - the Snapmakers as listed below and in August 2025 we purchased new hardware in the form of a Bambu H2D Machine.   Prints from this point forward will have either machine tagged in the post.

If any of the projects that are not suitable or do not follow that process we have noted that in the post.  We have had requests previously for the supplying of the .STL files for our projects etc.   These are created by individual students and the intention of which is to show examples of what our students have created, if you wish to have individual files etc we can arrange this but can you please email us.

The above video depicts an event occurring at our school to give you idea of our background.  It is produced by Sonic Vision Studios.  The following link will take you to their Youtube page 

The work on this site is not the responsibility of one person.  It is the collective work of a number of students and teachers from the school.  In some cases those students and teachers (or staff) no longer work for the School.  It has been noted on most posts but if you wish to contact the person who created the particular project email me below I can in most cases put you in direct contact with the person(s) responsible where possible.
