We had some guests over to our school this week from Dublin City University to discuss sustainable energy sources. They brought some great toys with them. Our students explored a lego village powered by wind and solar power. They also had the opportunity to build and run a hydrogen powered cars. These cars used a solar panel to split ionised water into hydrogen and oxygen and this in turn fuelled the car.

The session was very successful. Both primary and post-primary students participated in the workshop. The youngest and oldest children were both motivated and engaged by the third level staff and their presentation. It was a great morning.
