The boys in Ms Ryan's junior infants really enjoyed building bridges using lots of different shapes and sizes. They tested how strong their bridges were. They built very, very strong bridges!

The future of engineering in Ireland is bright with all the wonderful work these boys have been doing.

We were delighted to welcome UCD Masters student, Ruth Crowe in to speak with the fifth and sixth class boys about studying engineering in university. Ruth showed the boys some of the projects she has worked on during her studies of electronic and computer engineering. The boys were fascinated by all she showed them. Thank you, Ruth!

The boys in Ms O'Neill's class really enjoyed some experiments during Engineers Week. Here are some pictures of the boys learning about the pH scale and investigating acids and bases. 

They also tested the Bee Bots and Sphero Indi cars. They made tracks by putting their coding skills to great use.
