The Lego Project
Third class participates in the lego project each year. This is a project organised annually by the Galway Education Centre. Each year there is a different theme with past themes including ‘Boom Town Build’. The project gives children an opportunity to work as engineers, to think about the function, strength and beauty of the structures around them and of those they build themselves.
Great emphasis is placed on teamwork and on fun! Among other skills the children learn to code as technology is part of the building process. Using a programme on the iPads children can create structures that move, for example elevators or cranes.
