This shows the set up for the makerfaire. Station 6 was a bare area at the back of the room bounded by pool noodles for the spheroes, a table for the Mindwaves headset and another table for the augmented reality books with Aurasma triggers on the wall. The data projector was used to put up the group rotations. It was also used to encourage deeper reflection when posting on the forum, by highlighting good posts.
Still not quite happy with this station for Lego Wedo. Am seeking to improve this and have some good ideas now from Victor Bradbury from Saint Michael’s College, Caboolture, to try.
