Activity 1. Ministry of Inspiration
So you might have heard of the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Health, right? They are groups of people who give advice to the government. But have you heard of the Ministry of Inspiration? It sounds like fun, doesn’t it?! Well, this is a real organization based in Nelson, New Zealand. Their aim is to get kids thinking creatively in the areas of science, technology, engineering, arts, maths and society (STEAMS). The Ministry of Inspiration hosts many cool activities and events, including an Aquabot competition. Aquabats are underwater robots. Have you ever heard of them?
I would like to join Underwater robotics because I really liked the normal robotics so I think I would like this one.
Activity 2.Caine’s Arcade
Caine Monroy is a 17-year-old boy who lives in Los Angeles (L.A.), California. When he was younger, he spent his summer holidays at his dad’s work - an auto parts store in downtown L.A. While his dad was working, he decided to build himself something that he had always wanted - an arcade! He built an arcade all by himself out of cardboard boxes and things that he found lying around the shop. One day a man came into the store to buy a handle for his car and he met Caine. Caine showed him what he had made and the man was so impressed with the arcade game that he made a movie about Caine and invited all the people in L.A. to come and play the games in Caine’s Arcade!
At school, I like to play netball or anything to do with it with my friends.

Hey Nici,
ReplyDeleteGreat work on completing another Summer Learning Journey post, you are doing great!
Wow! I really love the amount of detail you have put into this one Nici. The underwater robot’s competition would be great fun! Would you like to design robots when you are older? What else would you like to do when you grow up?
Great content on these activity's Nici. Detailed content is a greatest way for us readers to remain engaged with what we are reading, and to learn new things.
Don't forget to add pictures and text next time!
