Magnetic caddy for the pillar drill. Ready to test in class after the midterm break! #3DPrinting #Engineering
Trailing giving each student one A4 copy of this sheet to encourage responsibility and time management skills. The idea is to tick off each task/process as it's completed. Feedback/ideas welcome! #JCKeySkills #JCEngineering #ModelForklift

Working on a project that uses @tinkercad, @microbit_edu and #3Dprinting to create low-cost bluetooth switch access devices. Excited to explore various forms, materials, tactile graphics, mounting options, as well as different input and outputs in @MSMakeCode #AssistiveTechnology

2nd year #Engineering Planes coming together for the end of the year! Past HL project modified so students designed the wing in #solidworks and then laser cut.
Loving the creativity in this cheese themed bubblebar design from the final TY #Engineering rotation.
Side panels processed using hand tools and then laser cut the holes to the desired effect.

Post-primary students!
We still have a few spaces left on our Leaving Cert Computer Science (LCCS) Hybrid Revision session on April 27th.
Scan the QR code to register. Looking forward to seeing you there!
#CSWeek #LCCS #leavingcert #CSeducation
Last #TY rotation of #CompSci students getting a short intro to HTML and CSS today building their own websites using @w3schoolsonline .
More customisation to be done now they know some of the basics!
Example wiring for #Engineering JC project.
Resource allows students to complete wiring more independently without needing as much 👨🏫 support.
Can easily lift and move for a better view.
Components and wires clearly labelled/colour-coded, showing where it connects to.
#TY #CompSci students Woking on the @MSMakeCode Arcade platform today. Extension activity for each game was to add in an element to make it more difficult for the player. This student coded an enemy to chase the player and game over if caught.
TY #CompSci students building basic pedometers using @microbit_edu and then doing some user testing of the count accuracy. @CodeWeekIRL
