Sentinus STEM Experience Day

Many congratulations to our 4 Year 7 pupils who travelled to South Lakes Leisure Centre, Craigavon for the 'straight to the final' Sentinus STEM Experience Day. 

 

Pupils took part in two separate challenges.  In the Primary STEM Challenge Rory and Daire had to design and build a air balloon powered vehicle capable of travelling a certain distance.  In the K'Nex Construction Challenge Ronan and Senán had to use K'Nex pieces to design and build a draw bridge with a specified span.  Their drawn plans from both challenges were very impressive and their models met all the requirements set.  After the challenge the children had an opportunity to participate in a workshop about the magic of science led by Mark the Science Guy.  The children were indeed a credit to their school and had a very enjoyable day out!

 

It's looking like we definitely have future engineers and scientists in the making!
