Engineer’s Week in Errew!

Seniors attended an online zoom workshop. beamed from Co Kerry with a team facilitating town planning, all courtesy of The National Museum.

We received a kit, and had a go planning spaces a town needs- building on our STEM workshop from earlier in the week.

Rapidly, the children plotted the necessary spaces to build a town, and then expanded their town with the necessary spaces to create a dynamic town.

We started with a church, the heart of the community, and went from there.

Here’s some work in action…

Brainstorm stage!
Rulers out!
Precision!
It’s all in the detail!
Clinical- our engineers emerge!
Plotting with co-ordinates, which we recently worked-on in mathematics
Colour to finish!
The importance of graphics
Combining forces!
