Distinctions and Highly Commended Awards in S.T.E.M. Competiton!

Posted on June 29, 2019 by mourne

If you were an engineer

This year, our pupils had the opportunity to enter a S.T.E.M. Competition.  The remit was to design an invention as a solution to any problem they identified in the world around them.  Pupils had to produce detailed, labelled diagrams of their inventions and then compose persuasive letters to try to persuade the engineers to make their inventions.

As part of the competition, pupils had to compile questions about engineering and, subsequently, interview an Engineer.  We were thankful to have the visit of Mr Stephen Kyle, an Engineer, PhD student and S.T.E.M. ambassador.  He ignited further interest in engineering in the pupils through his enthusiastic, informative responses to their interview questions and his engaging coding activities.

We are delighted to announce 3 pupils achieved a Distinction for their inventions!  Their work will be displayed at this year’s inaugural Primary Leaders Award Public Exhibition, hosted at the Ulster University on 20th June 2019.  Furthermore, 2 pupils‘ entries were awarded with a ‘Judges’ Highly Commended‘.

We offer HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to all of our aspiring engineers for their innovative projects!
