    1. Kia ora Tennessee,
      Thank you for your comment. I thought it was important to list all the materials. The lights are awesome but they wouldn't work without trusty things like PVA glue and masking tape!

    Thanks you for your comment. That was one of my favourite photos. We turned the lights off in the room so we could see the light glow next to our hands!

  4. Hi,my name is Deakyn I am from Awahono School. How long did it take you to make the kites and to get the materials for the kites? I really liked how you made LED Light glowing kites for your class and school. It made me think of the seven sisters and the kites of Matariki. Maybe next time you could add an ending that says THANKS FOR WATCHING!

    1. Kia ora Deakyn,
      Thank you for your comment! Classes spend an hour class every two weeks in the Maker Space so It took us about four or five hours over the term to make the kites.
      I'm very glad it reminded you of Matariki because that was our goal.
      Thanks for your feedback for the ending. I will add some more slides of the kites flying and add your suggestion.

  6. Kia ora Sam,
    Thank you for your comment, we were so excited when the lights started to work. We turned the lights off in the Maker Space so we could see them glow better.
    Have a look at our new video to see how they fly- in the dark!
    I love your question about the idea for the kites. Miss King from Room 13 gave me a challenge. She asked , " Can you attach LED lights on to kites in the Maker Space?"
    I answered "We will try!"
    I love being given challenges, they give me the chance to try, try, try and ask lots of questions while I am learning. Everyone in team 3 has learned so much and had so much fun since she gave us that task.
