Preparation for the Roboshow

We are getting ready for the Roboshow in St. Pats in Drumcondra on Tuesday 13th of May next. Here are some of the models we have made for our Airport theme. In this photo you can see the Airport we have built, some of the aeroplanes that are taxiing on the runway and our Control Tower. The top of the Tower rotates and lights up. We will be posting more about our models soon!!

We found this piece on the Digital Schools Website: www.digitalschools.ie. (We are the only Digital School in County Tipperary.)

10th Annual RoboShow
Come and meet Ireland’s future designers, engineers and programmers at the 10th Annual Empowering Minds RoboShow.
This event takes place on Tuesday 13th May 2008 in the main Auditorium in St Patrick’s College Drumcondra and is open to the public from 11 am to 1pm.
The RoboShow is the premier showcase for the Empowering Minds community and allows children (aged 7 – 13 years) and their teachers share the innovative projects they have been constructing over the course of the school year. The children engage in multi-disciplinary cross-curricular learning and make extensive use of a range of digital technologies to build these exciting and imaginative projects.
The project started in 1998 with 4 schools initially and has grown to include schools in Dublin, Kildare, Sligo, Laois, Tipperary, Louth, Kilkenny, Cork and Roscommon. It is anticipated that schools from other regions will soon become part of the ever expanding Empowering Minds community.
