6th Class attended the 1st ever SciFest STEM Fair in Ballinamore on February 29th . Their project was entitled ‘Embracing the Future in Mullahoran GAA Park’ Our project showcased a number of potential future designs, including:
- Exploring technology and engineering in line with Global Goals 11 and 15
- Making the lights more energy efficient with neopixel lights on the pitch
- Installed a water harvesting system under the pitch that will be filtered and turned into drinking water for players at the pitch
- Revise the scoreboard so it only needs electricity to change what is on it (Inky:bit)
- Provide an interactive first-person virtual 3D camera tour, activating the use of virtual umpires
We will also be attending Dream Space showcase at Microsoft in June with an updated version of this STEM project, which we are presently working on. Watch this space.
