Congratulations to the three TY SciFest@College groups who won 6 prizes between them for their coding projects on Wednesday, 4th May in TU Dublin Blanchardstown. A phenomenal achievement!
For the first time ever the whole TY class went to participate and cheer on the TY groups who were entered into the competition. This was the first SciFest@College competition that we've been at in person since May 2019 - so it was really exciting to be back in TU Dublin Blanchardstown.
Phoenix, Praise, Sam - created a 'Cosmos Crash' game for children to learn about space using Scratch
Hugo, Josh, Brendan - created a 'Wii-like' fitness game for children using Scratch and a web-cam
Joan, Charlie, Luke - created 'Teacher Tower' - a gamification of revising for the Junior Cycle using Scratch
Well done to you all - all your hard work since September paid off!

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.
