So proud of these two. Such hard working, self-driven and inspiring young ladies. What’s even more impressive, they presented their results to the school whom are taking their advice onboard and using their recommendations.
Congratulations Orlaith and Salva on receiving Highly Commended for their project titled “Investigating sensory factors to make our school more inclusive” Top 6 in a category of 55. What a fantastic achievement. Congratulations from everyone in @CastletroyC @BTYSTE

Can’t wait to see the projects displayed in person on Friday. Having watching the girls work so hard for the past few months it’s fantastic to see their smiling faces as they show off their work.
We’re so proud of all the hard work and commitment from our young scientists have. We wish them all the best this week. If you’re visiting #BTYSTE2024 be sure to check out stands 5535 and 5104. @CastletroyC

I must say I’m both heart broken and raging all at once. Announcements for more funding in stem after 100s of teachers spend hours on proposals for them not to read. No funding to any secondary school in Limerick!!!!!!

We have coding with micro bits, vex robotics, podcasting (a big win for betting girls involved in our lab). Hoping to expand and trying to figure out what what else we can do. Fashion tech? Lego? Girls only club?

It was like mixing my old life, of working in health informatics, with my new life having the the guys come today and share with the TYs.
Thank you to @BrianMckeon and his colleagues from @AmbulanceNAS for visiting our TY Computer Sciences classes and sharing with us how technology aids in the delivery of the best care possible for patients.
