All first year pupils at a Co Donegal secondary school are to be given free laptops after the school won a national competition.
Pupils at Loreto Community School in Milford are jumping for joy after winning the event which was sponsored by Intel.
The school won the prize after a project by fifth year student Shaun Sweeney on the smart class of the future.
All pupils joining the school this year will now receive ‘Fizz Books’ which is a mini laptop and tablet.
As well as the new laptops, the school will be visited by a PHD student from Dublin City University who will map out the school’s progress using the new computers.
The aim of the project is to partly use the computers, which will be equipped with all edco books, to eventually eliminate the need for old fashioned paper books.
An Taoiseach Enda Kenny is due to visit the school on Monday next to officially present the school with their new computers.
