Auroa School Event: Step Master Dance Competition

 

Every year at Auroa Primary School we have special events for the students, which as an Apple Distinguished School we like to consider 'special events'.   In the past we have had virtual pinball competitions and for the past two years we have held a livestream of this event.

The dance machine that was created by the students, has an amazing video produced by our wonderful AF teacher here.    The students in addition to creating the machine have also been responsible for creating music videos (originals) which are then used for the competition.   You can click on an example of one of the videos here.

We used a combination of our technology for both the creation of the machine - such as the laser cutter for the mechanical elements and the display.   Since the machines creation we have added additional features such as the display on the top which has been created as a decal using our sticker machine.

We are now allowing our students to rehearse for the competition by spending their lunch and break times to compete in competitions (against each other) which we will also use to double as qualifying.   The best students will advance to our livestream finals which we will broadcast on youtube for our community.

The two posters that are shown above in the top photograph are 2m by 4m having been printed on the massive school printer.

We will be publishing further details about the competition as it grows closer over the next few weeks.
