This year’s Engineering Week was particularly vibrant, with a diverse array of activities and visits enriching the educational experience of students. Welcoming Glenswilly National School, Woodland National School, ATU Donegal and Zeus Tubing, among others, provided students with invaluable hands-on experiences and real-world insights into the field of engineering.
In addition to Engineering Week, the academy is committed to integrating S.T.E.A.M initiatives throughout the academic year. From interactive workshops to guest lectures, students across all year groups are provided with opportunities to engage with S.T.E.A.M subjects in meaningful and impactful ways.
