Last term we took part in the STEPS Young Engineers Award. We were given the task to design something to help within our community. We had to build a prototype to show how our design would work.
Four engineers came to visit our class. One of the engineers was a drone engineer and another one worked on space stations. We presented our work to the engineers and they gave us feedback.
We enjoyed building the prototypes and working as teams.
Our projects included:
A tunnel linking Dublin 15 directly to the airport,
a container to put your shopping in that fits at the back of a bike,
a cycle lane,
a footpath lane for wheelchair users,
and an eco-friendly ‘Green House’.
