The year 8 students have also been using their creativity in other classes. Below are student reflections and photos of their work in STEAM, demonstrating 8C’s creativity.
In Year 8 STEAM we have been learning about wearable technology, by creating our very own garments with LED’s sewed inside. So far, we have learnt how to thread circuits and create imaginative designs from cowboy inspired outfits with bandanas to royal inspired dresses with elegant white gloves.
In Year 8 STEAM, we have been looking at and learning about circuits and incorporating LED lights into fashion, our task is to sew LED lights into the garments, we must learn how to make circuits and work out how the LED lights are powered into garments, then sew these into the garment. Each group has a theme for their pieces such as royalty, sea life, and others.
