Guide/Special Projects

This is a summary of the work that is going on during the year with our 'Dolls House' project. During this project we are wanting to have the students completely rebuild and furnish a Dolls House that was scheduled to be thrown out. The process is documented in this slideshow:

   

 This is a summary of ideas and work from this site involving the use of #Tinkercad to create a project that might not require the final product to be 3D Printed. We will be updating this slideshow as additional ideas and information are looked at

Virtual Pinball Machines: 

These machines have been built at school and featured the school and staff in various versions.  In the initial versions students and staff featured as part of the game, digitising their voices and making media that were part of the game process.  

Following this process we looked at hosting some kind of E-Sports event involving the machines.  This culminated in our first virtual pinball competition which was held in 2018.   This involved having three seperate cameras set up to record the competition and then was commentated on.   We followed this format again in 2019 with a second competition with a new table.  This table was based on a movie that featured students from around our school in acting roles.    The table tie in worked well and was repeated again in 2020.   This was the final year of our 'studio' broadcasts of the competition, when the competition was recorded and then produced and details added following the competition.   We had by this point some sixty or seventy students entering the competition from across our school.  We followed this up with a series of livestream competitions featuring the students which you can view by clicking on this link here.

This detailed video from our Schools Jason Bloor, shows the entire process of the making of the Step Master Machine.  

The videos above show some of the examples of our students interacting and working with the Step Master Machine (which is also known as a Dance, Dance Revoultion Arcade Machine).  We are continuing to hold competitions and events for this machine which we are live streaming such as the competition shown below.
