Science Activities
Camps include the following:
- Robotics using Lego Education – Don’t be fooled by the Lego title, this is cool stuff. Students build LEGO Robots and use computer programming skills to make the Robots work. We’ll get the Robots to kick ball and work their way through a maze.

Science Fun Day
All Science Camp Participants will be invited to a Fun Science Day in Adair Hall, Fermoy on Friday Aug 17th. This will feature the StarDome from Blackrock Observatory in addition to lots of Hands-on Science Experiments.
Young Scientist Tanzania
The Science activities will include experiments from the “Lab-in-a-bag” from the Young Scientist Tanzania. We are teaming up with Oysterbay Secondary school and Kenton High school, both located in Dar es Salaam to run experiments. We hope to have Skype video links between the camps and one of these schools. Brendan from Young Scientist Tanzania has really set us some challenges for these experiments.
