STEPS : ENGINEER VISIT/ZOOM CALL

30/11/2020

 
On Wednesday of last week, we were very excited to have the opportunity to chat to real life engineer and ask him some questions.  Our engineer that was assigned to us, was Matthew a masters student in UCD, studying civil engineering.  Matthew chatted to us about his work, designs and job.  The children had some really good questions for Matthew at the end and were thrilled with his feedback on our prototypes.  He said he was blown away by the designs, coding and detailed planning that the children had put into their prototypes.
