STEM Workshops for our 1st yearsSentinus is a not for profit educational charity which works with schools and colleges throughout Northern Ireland to deliver programmes which promote engagement in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Their programmes are designed to support the teaching and learning of these subjects particularly within a real world context.
Mr. Gerard Hughes came to St Farnan's on the 12th October and worked with our 1st year students throughout the day. They engaged in various teamwork challenges where they had to build handheld generators, make small cars and build rockets.
Here are some of the students' thoughts on how the day went -
"I thought the workshop was a lot of fun. We built cars and they were racing..."
"I enjoyed the workshop because we got to make things and got to enjoy something other than class work".
"I thought the workshop was really interesting and cool. I thought it was cool to see how machines work".
"I enjoyed the workshop. You had to listen and if you didn't you couldn't do it". |
