The day started when we all got on the bus and rode off to Motat. When we arrived, we went to our meeting space and our instructor Nik, told us what the day was going to be like and the rules while Mrs Jensen told us our group's.
My group's first area was exploration. We got to explore Motat and we even went to go see Leonardo Da Vinci machines that he created and used for himself. We went to a convention area as well and it had some rooms that had different as-specks. There was even one room with a giant eye ball! It wasn't THAT creepy. There was even a room where you could watch someone game on a large screen. It was awesome! Plus, we got to see 3D creations that the instructor had created. They were creative and cool. There was also a upstairs area with tech stuff which wasn't that interesting.
Our second lesson would be in the classroom. Nik talked about items that improved and why people invent stuff. Like someone founded that white flies were attracted to his yellow t-shirt so he invented a yellow fly catcher that flies are attracted to. We got to look at the improvements of the telephone and moblies and even cameras. We got to try a typewriter, write with a quill and also write on a sleet board. The only down side to a typewriter is that if you make a mistake, you need to restart the whole thing or either choose to use a ink correcter.
After we had lunch while the other group went to their lesson.
Lastly, we went exploring again and we saw different conventions and even a crystal ball that if you put your hand near it, it looks like you are conducting eletricly. We just walked around and we even saw the old steam room. My favourite working item was this caged chair where you pulled a rope and them let go and you would go down. There were two different kind. One that went down really slowly and the other fast.
So that was our Motat trip. It was so much fun and a big thank you to Nik and the learning coaches who made this possible. This trip was incredible!! There is much more I could talk about but I don't want to make this blog too long so bye for now!
