The Way It Is; Amy visits Scoil Mhuire Gan Smal in Carlow to hear about a new project

In collaboration with SETU Carlow, Arizona State University, and The Professional Development Services for Teachers, DCU are spearheading a new initiative to get young girls into computer science and coding. The Weave Project gives primary school girls the opportunity to design, develop, engineer, and compute their very own device using Lego and coding, a skill now part of extracurricular activities in many schools. Scoil Mhuire Gan Smal in Carlow town was one of four primary schools from across the country that took part in the project, and our very own Amy McLoughlin visited the young coders this morning.
