Congratulations to Josh Wynne, a 2nd Year student, who with a group from his coding club came second place in a competition organised for the 'Internet of Things 4 Food' conference in UCD at the end of March.
Josh explained to Ms O'Kelly what was involved in the project:
"It took four of us about two months to prepare our project for the 'Internet of Things 4 Food' competition. The aim of the project was to integrate agriculture and technology. We made a game to raise awareness of food waste. We used Java Process to code our project. There were 32 groups in this national competition, so coming 2nd was great! We had to present our project on Thursday, 22nd March and then on the Friday we attended a lecture. For coming second we each won an Arduino kit - it's cool!"
The 1st years completed a zombie lab today where they used their scientific methods and thinking to identify patient zero from the zombie suspects. Using measuring skills, pH, observation skills and much more they successfully identified the source of the outbreak!

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
