The “ not far behind “ is a very generous description 😂😂😂😂. Well done Darragh, incredible swim.
A fantastic day spent with more CS teachers and @Oide_CompSci for an #arduino workshop. Thanks to @scienceirel for these Cansat kits. Like kids in Christmas morning we were. @istone_irene you’ll be happy to know it was a brilliant session.
A fantastic evening with @oide for their electronics course. Hands on activities that made us all leap with excitement. Thanks @istone_irene for highlighting these courses.
So excited to be in the audience with our 5th years for #IWish2024 listening to @annatters and so many more with fantastic inspiration for careers in STEM

Learning on the go travelling to @IWish_ie with @OEMApprentice What an amazing experience learning all about circuits.

New routine when settling the 10 year old at night, we now both read. I was struggling to find some down time for myself every week. I’ll change between fiction and non fiction, but loving the company of my reading buddy.
So proud of these two. Such hard working, self-driven and inspiring young ladies. What’s even more impressive, they presented their results to the school whom are taking their advice onboard and using their recommendations.
Congratulations Orlaith and Salva on receiving Highly Commended for their project titled “Investigating sensory factors to make our school more inclusive”
Top 6 in a category of 55. What a fantastic achievement.
Congratulations from everyone in

This is what we paused tv to chat about tonight.
I’ve probably a book in the random & interesting internet finds the husband and I pause the tv for each night, his=interesting mine=random but entertaining 😂
In 2010, the United States Air Force created the world's 33rd-fastest computer inside its own Air Force Research Laboratory, using 1,760 Sony PlayStation 3 consoles.
They called it the "Condor Cluster," and it was the Department of Defense's fastest computer.
The USAF put the computer in Rome, New York, near Syracuse, and intended to use the computer for radar enhancement, pattern recognition, satellite imagery processing and artificial intelligence research for current and future Air Force projects and operations.
Because a PlayStation cost $300 at the time, together, the PlayStations formed the core of the computer for a cost of roughly $1 million, 10% of the price of a conventional supercomputer.
The result was a 500 TeraFLOPS Heterogeneous Cluster powered by PS3s but connected to subcluster heads of dual-quad Xeons with multiple GPGPUs (general-purpose graphics processing units). The video-game consoles consumed 90% less energy than any alternative.
Can’t wait to see the projects displayed in person on Friday. Having watching the girls work so hard for the past few months it’s fantastic to see their smiling faces as they show off their work.
We’re so proud of all the hard work and commitment from our young scientists have. We wish them all the best this week.

I must say I’m both heart broken and raging all at once. Announcements for more funding in stem after 100s of teachers spend hours on proposals for them not to read. No funding to any secondary school in Limerick!!!!!!
I knew I’d find use for a wire cutters again when my jewellery making phase passed 😂😂. Results of #microbit and fairy lights collision to be determined 🤞
Great fun using our #microbits to model satellite communication using the radio feature with resources from @oidecomputerscience

For younger female engineers in industry , what sparked your interest in STEM? What can schools to encourage more girls to take STEM subjects for leaving cert? Working in a mixed gender school and struggling to spark & keep the interest of girls in our STEAM lab. #womeninSTEM

The parliament building in Budapest at dusk and at night, a magnificent sight. A must see city, will definitely return for longer the nest time.
It was like mixing my old life, of working in health informatics, with my new life having the the guys come today and share with the TYs.
Thank you to @BrianMckeon and his colleagues from @AmbulanceNAS for visiting our TY Computer Sciences classes and sharing with us how technology aids in the delivery of the best care possible for patients.
Huge thanks to @Josephcorreia and all his colleagues from @DellTechIreland who us teachers so much time and space this evening for @VEXRoboticsIE training.
