Young Engineers Award Project Groupings

Third and Fourth Class have been working very hard the past few months on their Young Engineers Award Project. The class have been split up into groups, they had to name give their groupings a creative name and they have been working on an engineering project that would benefit the community. The groups are as follows;

  1. Electricity Experts - Katie, Aidan, Amelia, Molly, Mark and Grace.
  2. The Game Changers - Sarah, Nicole, Sean, Ellie - Mai, Kyle and Olivia.
  3. The Problem Solvers - Daniel, Declan, Emma and Lauren.
  4. The Mind Blowers - Eddie, Ailbhe, Macy, Noah and Isla.
  5. The Brain Blasters - Éabha, Róisín, Orán, Harry, Miley and Amelie.
  6. The Robos - Odhran, Sophie, Millie - Mai and Tomas.
  7. The Brainstormers - Mia, Cathal, Blaithín, Luke, Sadhbh, Agostino.

Engineering Projects

At this stage of the project the children have brainstormed three different engineering projects that would benefit their community, they have chosen one of these as their main engineering project, designed what the finished project should look like, labelled their drawing and done out a list of all the equipment they will need to construct their engineering project. Each group also has an Engineering Booklet to fill out and they have been making their way through this booklet, as a group, the last few months. This is a list of the engineering projects that each group has agreed upon for their entry to the Young Engineers Award;

  1. The Robos - A bigger car park for Kilbride National School.
  2. The Brain Blasters - Cycle Lane for Kilbride.
  3. The Mind Blowers - The Sewage Mover.
  4. The Problem Solvers - Glow in the Dark Traffic Lights.
  5. The Game Changers - River Rescue.
  6. Electricity Experts - Hydroenergy
  7.  The Brainstormers - Pressure Plate Traffic Lights.

Construction Time

Since returning to school Third and Fourth Class have been working very hard at their STEPS Young Engineering Projects. They have been planning and discussing these projects and filling in their projects booklets up until today! Today they started constructing their projects for the competition and there was great teaching, learning, group work and excitement in the class today. They are working so hard. These are the projects the children are working on:

The Robos – A bigger car park for Kilbride National School.
The Brain Blasters – Cycle Lane for Kilbride.
The Mind Blowers – The Sewage Mover.
The Problem Solvers – Glow in the Dark Traffic Lights.
The Game Changers – River Rescue.
Electricity Experts – Hydroenergy
The Brainstormers – Pressure Plate Traffic Lights.

We can’t wait to see the finished projects. Here are a few pictures of Third and Fourth Class hard at work today 🎉🎉👏👏[vc_row][vc_column][us_gallery ids="8235,8236,8237,8238,8239,8240,8241,8242,8243,8244,8245" columns="5" indents="1"][/vc_column][/vc_row]To say I, Mrs Crosby, am so proud of my Third and Fourth Class children is an understatement. They are amazing and our engineering projects are ready to be submitted to STEPS Young Engineering Competition.

STEPS Young Engineer Projects

A huge congratulations to Third and Fourth Class. Their STEPS Engineering projects were emailed off this week and they have been entered into the STEPS Young Engineering Competition. They are going to present their projects to each other next week. They worked so hard at these projects. They should be so proud of themselves. We wish Third and Fourth Class the best luck in the next stage of the competition.

STEPS Engineering Zoom Party - Tuesday, 14th December 2021

Third and Fourth Class enjoyed their STEPS Engineering Zoom Party today with STEPS Engineering Ireland and "The Science Guy" Mark Langtry. Such a great way to finish off all their hard work for the engineering competition. Well done Third and Fourth Class!
