At Sunnyhills we have students who are keen to learn more about the technology we have available in our school and want to share their expertise with other students. These students apply to be TeXperts. This year we have a great group of year 3 to 6 students who are really keen to learn and share. We meet every week in the Exploration Station for TeXpert training.
We have started the year with a few basic skills like creating our own avatars using Google drawings where we honed our skills with shapes, images, fills and gradients as well as order within a Google Drawing. We're eventually going to use these avatars on our Digital Badging accounts.
As TeXperts we're also responsible for the Tinker and Maker equipment we have in our library. This equipment can be used during lunch time and when we visit the library with our class. We working on a timetable for each of our year 5 & 6 TeXperts to be available to other students in the library at lunchtimes. Our job is to help anyone that gets stuck and to make sure the equipment is used safely.

This week we've also started designing our own TeXpert badges and 3D Printing them. We have printed a few of our first versions and we'll be looking at how we might refine these over the coming weeks. Once we're all happy with our designs we'll mount our badges so we can wear them on our uniform and you'll be able to spot Texperts around school.
