NZ GEG Student Summit

NZ Geg.

On Friday 11th of August some students at our school went to the Google Geg at Ormiston Primary school. This Google Geg shows us different ways of how technology is useful and also different ways of how to use technology. There were little workshops held in different places of the school/s. Mrs Fepuleai drove a minibus and Miss Kyla and Miss Ashley took their cars.

We got to Ormiston Primary/College and walked inside the school. IT WAS MASSIVE. It looked difficult to get around but we got use to it. We first registered and had the first keynote. We got to meet Riley and her dad. They are young ocean explorers and the dad films under water. It was really cool to meet them.

We got into buddies and my group wanted to go to create a maze game and the rest went to robotics. My group was with Mrs Fepuleai. We walked up to the first floor but when we got there it was full. The max was 25 people but we were too late. So we went to our first breakout session which was held at Ormiston primary and was run by Panmure Bridge. They taught us about Awesome animations. In this workshop I learnt that your presentation doesn't always have to be in words it can be explained in whatever way you want and making your slideshow animated is one of them. After learning how to make it we started to play around and then we left.

Our second breakout session was create your own complex character. This workshop was held in Ormiston college by a school that I do not know of. It didn't involve technology but it did involve your imagination. You had to think of what your characters gonna look like and what's the backstory of your character. We then had to draw it out which was quite challenging but I still tried.

Our last breakout session was one that we really wanted to attend. It was create your own robotic car. It was full by the time we got there so we figured why not go to build a story with legos. This was held in Ormiston primary and was run by Ormiston Primary. In this workshop I learnt that if you put your mind to it your create something very interesting and that's why I did, I turned a race track into a family trip! We played around with the legos for a bit and then packed up. We walked to Ormiston College for the ending keynote.

At the last keynote we met Suan Yeo from Google in Australia. He showed us that when you're stuck ask questions, solve your problems, and think outside of the box. I had a great time at the conference and hopefully we can go again next year.
