I wanted to try something new for the Grade 5/6 Tech Club. I was hoping that Bamzooki would appeal to both boys and girls. It only works on PC (I tried on my Mac under emulation and it wasn't pretty!) and involves creating computer generated moving objects called Zooks that can then take part in various challenges( eg. races, pushing, hurdles, tag, sumo etc.). Technically it's hard to make them from scratch using the Bamzooki Zook kit; however, the easy way in is to use an online Level Zero, then modify it using the Zook kit. 23 students signed up, so there's a good interest! Here are some of the Zooks that the students created:

I've spent quite a bit of time setting up the co-curricular clubs, and I'm really quite excited about starting them. The Grade Two students can come on Monday lunchtimes to use the floor robots (4 x ProBots, 2 x Roamers, and a BeeBot)and play some control games (Road & Motion Planning) on the IT Centre computers. Grade Four students may come on Tuesday lunchtimes to produce Animoto videos. Grade Three students are continuing with 2Paint a Picture projects. Grade Five/Six students may come after school on Thursdays to work on Personized Multimedia story Creation with 2CASS.
