Engineers Week 2022
We marked ‘Engineers Week’ from Monday 7th of March to Friday 11th March this year.
Engineering Week activities this year included the following activities: Lego challenges, STEM challenges through the use of our STEM Box, a school-wide engineering quiz, and learning about different types of engineering.
Also during Engineers Week, all children from 3rd to 6th class had a really enjoyable visit from climate ambassador and engineer Niamh Ryan who gave an insight into sustainable development and engineering. Thank you, Niamh for a very interesting and fun visit.
