1/5 Why I’m proud of South Africa 🇿🇦 #respect a beautiful speech by one of our G7s

The perfect day for a swimming gala! #stpetersboys

When you find that special book, reading can happen anywhere! #read

G6 boys felt mascots are well underway. They have cut out their patterns, stuck on details and are now starting the blanket stitch to join the two pieces together. They are very excited to deliver them to their G2 buddies! @peter_prep #makered #stem

The Innovation & Design Centre @peter_prep is almost exactly how I imagined it last year when I designed the space on paper! It took a whole year to get here but it was well worth it! #makered #stem

Very impressed with some of the G3 instruments. They showed lots creative thinking with their material choice and ideas. While giving them choice in instrument design and material choice was Boys best practice, it was hard to ensure all 26 boys were making effectively. #makered

One of the 5 final projects for grade 7s was to build a @MSMakeCode arcade game around a theme. These boys chose climate change. Can’t wait to see where how this develops in@future iterations. #makered #stem #arcade #GlobalGoals

Amazing work done by a G3 boy who chose to create a marimba for his exploration of inventions in music! #makered #stem

So happy with how these turned out. G4s explore movement, hydrodynamics and potential energy with elastic powered boats. #makered #stem @peter_prep

The I&D Arcade is ready for action. It’s completely made out of cardboard and a @Raspberry_Pi Zero. A G5 has already coded his own game for it &The G7s are building climate change RPGs. Thanks @stulowe80 for the inspiration! #makered #stem @peter_prep

A project at School Maker Faire Shenzhen

Ok ok you twisted my rubber arm, I give in...here is my Cranky Rick #crankycontraption @robives #stem #makered

The G7s completed their community service project. They upcycled old desks from our outreach school into coat hangers. We are so proud of how hard they worked and the hangers look great! I wonder what we should do with them now... #makered #stem

3 great things happened today! 1stly, G7s were curious about inside of a lock,so naturally we cut it in half! 2ndly, 2 G6s used the lab to repair a broken iPad that IT said was irreparable! 3rdly,G6s persevered through a challenging turbine car& finally succeeded! #makered #stem

@teachcreamer The grade 5 boys loving their innovation and design journey!

Grade 5s exploring movement and force through elastic powered cars! This groups car travelled 5 metres!!! #makered #stem @peter_prep

Grade 3s are exploring inventions through sounds by creating kazoos. They experimented with a variety of materials to make different sounds. #makered #stem

@teachcreamer Our grade 6s thinking & making for their year long ‘real life’ game. #makered #stem

All throughout Grade 6, the pupils get jobs, earn money, pay rates & taxes, tender for building projects and elect mayors all for their ‘Game of life’ board. This is a hotel with a working lift. It’s great that they can use the I&D Center to build&extend their in class projects!

@nicrichteach @SteenhoffC @margotlong @trishcislak @BoysSchools Congratulations!

So thrilled @SteenhoffC & my #IBSCAC Research Report has been selected as one of the top 10! What an amazing way to end 2 years of the most amazing PD. Thank you @margotlong @trishcislak @peter_prep @BoysSchools

Grade 3s built marble runs. How cool is that stepped section!? #makered #stem #cardboard
