The remaining 6th classes took part in virtual STEM sessions with the DreamSpace team today. It was a fantastic experience for all the children. They learned lots about the world of STEM, mixed reality, artificial intelligence and also coded with MicroBits. Lots of complicated code was written and tested!
Thanks to Niamh and Michael of Microsoft DreamSpace for facilitating the sessions today. We look forward to hopefully making an actual visit some day soon.
A big well done to Vincent from 5th class who took home three paralympic medals at the weekend, for javelin, shot put and discus!
Vincent’s Mum kindly agreed for us to share his picture below. What a fantastic achievement!
Two of our 6th classes took part in virtual coding and STEM sessions with Corey from the DreamSpace team today. It was an amazing experience for all the children and they learned so much about the world of STEM, coded with microbits and even designed a rock, paper, scissors game themselves!
Thanks to the DreamSpace Team for facilitating us and hopefully we will get to visit at some stage in the future.
The other two 6th classes have their sessions to look forward to next week.
The children in Ms. O’Halloran’s 3rd class held a raffle recently in aid of Coolmine Rehab Centre. They raised an amazing total of €485! Well done all!
