Camping outside PRISM room in protest.

This is Sundhar reporting from outside the PRISM room. Leo, me, Annie and KGB are here to check out if DR.MC was in da house but to our dissapointment she was not so we are here outside hoping that she is just in the bathroom or the teacher room or something like that. Ok, the camping trip has ended and I have to GO TO THE CAFETERIA!!

Extra Information:

We will be making projects for the fourth graders. We will be working together as a group to make a rover, as well as work in small groups to make small individual projects. The projects will be added to the packet of projects, and there will also be some sort of presentation (powerpoint, video, etc.) as well as an activity to help them learn. You will also have to register online to continue with the program. The link is: http://goo.gl/R0qZIC. Registrations are due next Wednesday, 1/21. This Friday, the task platform we will be using will be rolled out to streamline productivity. Through the survey for rover features, the features of the rover we are building will also be announced. The work for the projects will also start on that day. 

4th Grade maker presentation

Hello Fellow Makers!

As you all know we are going to teach some fourth graders about making. This is what I think we need to do to prep.

1. Make a rover
2. Make the packet of projects for the 4th graders (https://docs.google.com/a/wwprsd.org/document/d/1C5-BPLvtr9gC0U44oAMUQhv4mNMaF4B1XURBWu2GRqQ/edit?usp=sharing)
3. A slideshow or some other form of a presentation.

A Selfie with Propaganda

Hey everyone! KGB again, this time with a propaganda selfie. Try to identify what persuasive techniques are being used, and feel free to post your own!

My Covert Operations

I pretended to be a normal student walking through the halls, but in reality, I was on a mission.  This is just a tiny fraction of all the propaganda we are exposed to daily.  I could only catch what was in the halls, and I got some shots inside the cafeteria, though I probably looked quite ridiculous, repeatedly photographing the walls using a laptop, but yeah... here they are!

OK I am not going to perfectly position all of these :)
