Raining today so thought I'd try this wee project by @BrownDogGadgets .Using mini motors, maker tape and coin cell batteries to make a spinning pinwheel. Pretty cool indeed π .#STEMEducation .#circuits .@CuriousMindSTEM

Used my old skills as an adventure instructor to lay out an orienteering course for some local schools.@coilltenews had a map for Ards Forest but some posts were missing so I put some new markers out. It was great to see the children using map reading and teamwork skills π³

Thoroughly enjoyed working with St Fhionains NS on our sustainable city project. We incorporated @makeymakey recycle bins, electric cars, LED houses, cress head growth and @microbit_edu step carbon counters. Thanks to @Education_Ire for funding under the ESD programme

Such fun doing a rocket workshop with Ballymore after school club. We made straw rockets, tested stomp rockets, created our own rockets for stomping and then blew it out with effervescent rockets.@OidePrimarySTEM π

As part of our #sustainable city project we need to look at how people can grow their own food. I found the cress head activity and decided to give it a go. This is one weeks growth in cotton wool. I love it π.#growyourown.#sustainable .@CuriousMindSTEM

Made a wee demo solar car for my Sustainable city Ss. See how quickly it stops when it hits the shade! Hopefully we'll have some sun tomorrow so they can see it in action π.#sustainablecity.#cleanenergy.#solarpower.#STEM.@CuriousMindSTEM .@esbscienceblast .@OidePrimarySTEM

Our new youth club Space project blasted off yesterday π We looked at how pneumatics were used in Space, from rocket launch to providing O2 to astronauts. Then it was time to get busy with building our own pneumatic claw π.#STEMEducation.@nycinews .@Foroige
