This was our final presentation day after three glorious rotations using a variety of tech tools. Personally, I was enamored by the creativity, thought, design plans, and inventiveness that these design teams produced. Enjoy a sample of their hard work:
LittleBits Dog Park by Ari and Pressley
Boxicopter and Helipad by Daniel, Jake, and Bradley
Clown Robot by Jake and Logan
Sphero Macros by Vivian and Jack
Google Cardboard by Nessa and Grace
Scratch Animation by Emily and Avery
Soccer with Lego Robotics by Jack and Emily
This blog is written for students by students. Our weekly blogger is responsible for the blog posts, which are then edited by our proof reader. We hope you enjoy reading about our experiences in 4th grade Technology!
Ideas by Grace
This is our last day before my class presents their projects! Everyone is working on the finishing touches. Some are even working on presenting. My group is using Google Cardboard, which is a virtual reality project. I am working on figuring out the technology behind it.
A Dog Park with Little Bits by Ari
In tech class we are all doing different projects and having so much fun. We all are working very hard on are tech projects. We all love tech class and having a great time. Specifically, my design team is working with LittleBits and we are working so hard to figure out the technology. We are building a little dog park with carboard and LittleBits. We are going to make lights with LittleBits so that they shine all over the dog park. There will also be a spinning fan made out of LittleBits propellers to keep the dogs cool!
Presentation Day, Round 2!
After completing our second round of rotations within our design teams, we now have some new projects to show off. To see our hard work, please watch our videos at the links below:

Nature Rocks by Jake Mi.
Nature influences technology in many different ways and I am about to tell you why. First, trees help us because it supplies paper so we can put structure on our creations to hold it up in place. Next, if you don't want to use fabric and be super creative then the soft pedals of a flower are similar and are pretty and add a little special touch to the thing that you made. Lastly, if you want to glue some rocks together as the border and a lot of legos inside it then it would look like the rocks are moving by itself. Nature is definitely an amazing way to influence technology!
Inspiration is Everywhere by Ellite
I feel that nature influences technology by inspiring others. Sometimes when others look at nature they are inspired and creative ideas start to grow inside of them. For instance, when I look at a flower, I see beauty. Maybe I can incorporate that beauty into something amazing in technology. Nature is a huge part of the world and we can use it for many things, including inspiration. Maybe the prettiness of nature can make you want to show the beauty of it by putting it into action. Examples of this include capturing the times when flowers blossom or how trees grow, or maybe how the fruit on trees grow. People can take those things and make videos capturing those exact moments. Nature is beautiful and we can use it in many ways to inspire technology.
Where Nature and Technolgy Combine By Daniel
In the virtual reality video that I watched today using google cardboard, I learned about nature. As the video stated, nature influences technology. For example, we got the idea of flight from birds. I think nature influences technology because when the air is thin humans have oxygen tanks so that we can breathe. The oxygen comes from trees. How do you think nature influences technology?
