Transform - Social Media - SNAPCAT!

SNAPCAT!!

In Transform (Social Media) A group of students decided that they wanted to learn about social media. Ms Jackson was running it (Of course) and after a bit of planning and comparing, we had chosen a social media to work on. Me and Lily were buddies, and we chose Snapchat as our social media to work on. We then chose a problem Snapchat has. This was rude content, such as inappropriate photos, rude and cruel text messages and a filter for swear words. 

About our app
Our app is called SnapCat. Lily wanted (Of course) Elephants (SnapPhant didn't work) and I wanted (100%) Bunnies. But Lily didn't agree on SnapBun. Eventually, SnapCat made sense. We both loved cats. We also made a video on how SnapCat is going to work. HERE IT IS:

Our only problem:
We don't know how to filter out pictures! We are really confused on how to filter out inappropriate images. Words is one thing, but images?

Our logo process

1. Brainstorm social media
2. Create a chart - advantages and disadvantages of social media
3. Watch a Ted Talk on a 12 yr old app developer
4. Choose an issue with Snapchat
5. Brainstorm your app name (SnapCat)
6. Create a padlet mood board and put logos you like on it and write a caption ("I like the font", "the pattern is cool")
7. Draw 20 + different logos
8. Expand your favourite 3 so there are 9 logos you like
9. Choose your favourite logo and draw it 4x bigger in your book with colour
10. Open Canva and create 4 similar logos based from your book
11. Choose the one you like best!

😛 The Hungi 😍

Before the Hungi

Everyone will eat the Hungi. It's a tradition. Hungi means
"Oven in the ground" and it is filled with potatoes,
Cabbage, Chicken, Carrots and Kumra!

At one point we got to visit the Hungi. Some people
thought it smelled, but I didn't notice a thing.

The only downside to visiting the Hungi is that it was
SUPER muddy, as people had been trekking around there
Since 4:00! I almost wish I saw the fire being lit...
Actually, I'd prefer to be in my bed - Normally I'm not
even conscious at that time!

This is what It looks like now. It takes
3 hours to cook and can reach
Temperatures of 500 - 700 degrees!

  

After the Hungi 

The Hungi tasted REALLY good. It was quite a smokey taste, which earned a few dislikes. I really loved it though. The only thing I didn't like was that the people who served the food kept nagging you to take what they were serving. Overall, as my last Hungi at Oratia, I think it was my favourite and hope to share another one soon.
