The girls in Mrs. Delany’s Fifth Class have been engaging in the Junior Achievement Programme under the wonderful guidance of Ms. Megan Leonard from Expleo. Ltd.

Over the past five weeks they have engaged in various STEM activities and have thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Their favourite activity was to build a paper bridge that could hold a litre bottle of water and could fit an A4 book through it. Each group had a budget of €35,000 euro made up of 30 sheets of paper at €1,000 per sheet used and €5000 for each roll of sellotape used.

Many groups stayed well within budget, others overspent (using too much sellotape!) but most of the bridges passed the ultimate test. Well done, girls!
