Our 4th classes are currently participating in the Young Engineers Award. This initiative involves the children thinking of a problem in their community that they would like to solve. They then collaboratively design and build a prototype of their idea. Engineers Ireland assign a guest engineer to visit each class. The Guest engineer inspires the next generation to enter the world of engineering. The children present their projects at this time also.
This week we had two visiting engineers.
Martin, an engineer from ESB visited one of our 4th classes on Wednesday. The students loved learning all about electrical engineering and were thrilled with the opportunity to show off their projects to a real life expert! Thank you so much to Martin for answering all our burning questions and for your positive feedback on our prototypes.
Here are some photos of the visit by Viswas from TOBIN Engineering today. He told us all about the different types of engineering, his work projects and who inspired him to go into engineering. Thank you so much Viswas for a very informative visit!
Well done to our budding engineers in 4th class!
