This week Room 4 were treated to a Lego
education workshop provided by the
organisation Learnit.
Linking in with Engineers Week, this Lego
Education workshop allowed the students
explore Science, Technology, Engineering
and Maths (STEM) in a new, fun and
innovative way.
All students built and programmed a robot.
This was a great opportunity for the class
to think creatively, solve problems and
work as a team. Many thanks to the Leixlip
county Library and Learnit for providing
such a wonderful workshop.
Look at what we did!
