A number of our TY students travelled to Dream Space at Microsoft Ireland last Wednesday May 17th. This was a superb experience. The students were given a guided tour of Microsoft. They learned how to code and then used their newly acquired skills on competitive Sphere Chariot Racing (Robotics).
Dream Space provides immersive research-based STEM experiences for students to enhance their STEM skills alongside crucial social-emotional skills such as empathy, creativity, ethical decision making and collaboration. This was a rare and unique experience for those who attended.
Thanks to Ms Deirdre Doyle for organising this event and to Cathy Forde and Ms Browne who accompanied the group.
