On Friday 6 May our Year 7 & 8 Enrichment Class met Micah our visiting neighbourhood engineer. Micah works near the airport for Hadyn and Rollet and is currently the site engineer for the Sistema Factory build in Mangere.
Micah started by introducing himself and explaining what a site engineer does
Our students asked lots of questions-
Do you have to be accurate?, How do you know your building will be built in time? what happens if your time estimation is wrong?
Other questions were asked- Why do you put metal in concrete?
What happens if you miss out something?
Then we toured the school to look for a suitable space for our project-
an outdoor learning space for the school!
Micah gave the students some homework-Write a brief- what are we doing? What do we want?, How many people do we want to use the space? What is the purpose of the space?
Our students chose the space between the junior and senior school- they chose it because it is easy to get to for the whole school- the slope can be sat on, it is used to watch sports and events- issues Micah asked the team to think about were the posts and the trees
Thanks Micah- our students are looking forward to your next visit-
but we need to do our homework first!
