Year 8 STEM in Gateway Base

This afternoon Year 8 visited the gateway base to continue work on their STEM project. We have been discussing and evaluating a range of communication devices.

Today we looked at both Morse code and semaphore. 

Working independently, we had to build mini circuits to carry messages. 

Following this, we went outside to test out communicating by semaphore. 

Our final task was to evaluate the communication methods we trialled. Next week we will start designing our own communication devices, we look forward to sharing our designs with you.
