Engineers Week 2021 took place from Saturday, 27th February – Friday, 5th March 2021.
Engineers Week is an opportunity to demonstrate the importance of engineering in our lives.
The aims of the week include:
- Encouraging young people, their teachers and parents to explore the fun world of Engineering.
- Generating interest and enthusiasm for Engineering in their everyday lives.
- Inspiring young people to explore Engineering career paths.
- Highlighting the diverse opportunities Engineering offers.
We had an Engineer’s Challenge competition – the children worked hard at home to create marble runs and parachutes. Here are some our winners from Junior & Senior Infants as well as First & Second class.
Stay tuned next week for our 3rd & 4th Class winners!
Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day
Last week, 4 girls from Múinteoir Ian’s class took part in Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day.
‘Girl Day’ helps focus a growing movement to inspire girls’ futures so they learn they have a place in engineering a better world.
A big thank you to Hajer, one of our parents, who works with Raytheon Technologies who hosted the event, and to Múinteoir Eoin, who co-ordinated our attendees and who also attended the virtual event!
Maith thú! 🏗 🔭 👷🏽♀️
