On Thursday, 12th May, Ms Finnegan brought the TY class to the Science Gallery and to Makeshop to make LED torches.

"Cool" was the response from TY students about what it was like to make LED torches when they visited Makeshop at Trinity College's Lincoln Gate. While one half of the class made the LED torches, the other half were able to wander through the Science Gallery. They then swapped over so that everyone could experience the same activities. Thanks to Ms Finnegan for bringing the TY students to the Science Gallery which was part of the Computer Studies class activities.
