Elita from MEGA15 November 2022 (by admin) |
This afternoon primary 5 were delighted to welcome Elita from MEGA to Kingsisland for a STEM session on STEM day. Our design brief was to create a boat which could float and bear significant weight (up to 100 coins).
This was an absolutely marvellous experience for all the children whose design skills, creativity, ingenuity and perseverance to succeed were all evident. Mid Ulster is one of the most important areas for engineering globally and products from our community are shipped all over the world. Almost 1 in 2 adults in our locality work in engineering so it’s important to foster and develop an interest in the key skills needed for this vital industry. Today primary 5 did exactly that and we are indebted to Elita, and Emma from Terex, for their guidance and enthusiasm. It truly was a MEGA day!
