This week the Year 5's and 6's were treated to an extremely special trip thanks to Emirates Team New Zealand, Genesis Energy and Spark!
We visited the ASB Waterfront Theatre where we raced Sphero Bolts around an America’s Cup course. It was a challenging navigating but also racing through with speed! We had a great time learning how to drive the spheros and are super excited because we can take this learning back to school and teach our Year 4 peers.
We also got to test some innovative 5G technology at the Spark 5G Race Zone. We learnt about the different factors that can impact on the boat. We also got to design our own boat and then race it using a simulator.
Special thanks to Spark and Genesis Energy for offering us this amazing opportunity. This has definitely been a highlight for us in 2020.
The great news is that the Spark 5G Race Zone is also open to the public so you can check it out too!
