STEMtacular

25th Feb 2026

Third and Fourth Class had an amazing time at STEMtacular today. From the excitement of conducting our experiments and designing our project books and posters over the past few weeks, to the buzz of the main event, the children were fully immersed in the world of STEM. At STEMtacular, we set up our stands, explored other schools’ projects, chatted confidently with the judges, and some pupils were even interviewed on stage by Mark the Science Guy. We also visited the Discovery Zone, where we saw everything from robotic dogs to innovative games and simulators, learned how Met Éireann forecast the weather, and even got to try it ourselves. We had an absolute ball and there’s no doubt everyone will sleep well tonight!
