Congratulations to 3 of our @rosconvent Technology students Niamh, Sìoda and Aisling for receiving gold, silver and bronze medals at the Area 4 ETTA competition for LC and JC Technology Projects.

We here @rosconvent had the pleasure of collaborating with Jigsaw Roscommon Youth Services (@JigsawYMH) on this "Piece of Mind" project over the summer.

@Techvilliers @technology_4 @ettaireland @technoteachers @JCt4ed I used Opencircuit.shop recently. They shipped the supplies quite quickly but delivery seemed delayed on Irish side.

Wondering where Irish Tech teachers are ordering electronic supplies outside the UK. Tried ordering from kitronik but no luck on delivery and Irish stockists have limited supplies. Anyone tried Germany or other EU countries? @technology_4 @ettaireland @technoteachers @JCt4ed

We had some very innovative #ArgriTech being showcased in @rosconvent this week. Thanks to David Doran (Acres Machinery) for brininging in his autonomous driverless tractor the iTarra and the 3in1 SupercropX conditioner machine. All designed and built in #Roscommon!

@Callen105 @hsclonmelcbs @technology_4 Looks great, we'll done. 👏

1st AT @hsclonmelcbs just finished their movie themed Clapper board projects. Plenty of processes engaged with in this small project.Measuring, filing, finishing, drilling and first time using nuts/bolts/MDF. Well done lads! Thanks to @designmakeit for project idea @technology_4

We've had some great D&T Dept tours, join us for another on 29 Nov. WMG Academy for Young Engineers in Coventry with Andrew Kyprianou, Lead for Engineering and Design. Register for your free place on the webinar. data.org.uk/training-and-e… @WMGAcademy #designtech #growingdandt

Halloween is a fun season in our house. I started making a few different #halloween characters for outdoor decoration to create a halloween atmosphere. I am making more to sell and can ship nationwide. DM if you know anyone interested. Thanks! 👻 #halloween2021 #Halloweendecor

Leaving Cert Technology briefs have been issued by the SEC. Best of luck to all students undertaking these briefs @JCt4ed @technology_4 @NCCAie

Making a few Mud Kitchens for people the last week. With this lovely weather I hope the children will have great fun playing outdoors with them. #sunshine #mudkitchen #designandmake #summer #outdoortoys

@MrMe77ors @teacherfent @DTassoc @DT_Chat @jambledandt @MrsMoffatDT James is a master at this and has presented great suggestions here. @teacherfent Looks like you have great space and it's in good shape. I would also suggest a direction to large interactive displays that are teaching aids but also a feature. Go big, bold and impactful!

@teacherfent @DTassoc @DT_Chat Interactive displays... and plants (which can also be used as resources) 🙊🌱 some inspirational spaces from @jambledandt @designmakeit @MrsMoffatDT too! #design #technology #edchat #dtchat

So email from my DH has asked me "what 5 things you think we could do/change etc in the DT workshop area to make the spaces more appealing, functional and creative." What have you done in your spaces that have done this in your schools? #dtchat #TMDTicons @DTassoc @DT_Chat

@RyanBallDT Your words are too kind Ryan thank you so much. I enjoyed the experience and thanks for your support. 👌

What a 'wow' space. High expectations, leading by example, attention to detail. D&T right here... Awesome job @designmakeit

@niekieblom @DTassoc Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

What an inspiring presentation by @designmakeit of their technology learning environment in Roscommon, Ireland. Thank you to @DTassoc for hosting this event!

Excited and honoured to host the next @DTassoc D&T department tour on 19th April, (see link: data.org.uk/training-and-e… for sign up). We will present a short tour of the newly refurbished practical facility @rosconvent school. #dandt #dt #departmenttour #dtchat #appliedtechnology

Great to get back in the classroom and back on the tools today after a long Covid19 lockdown. 1st & 2nd years straight into realising their concept ideas for a Jewellery stand and Ping Pong Bat @rosconvent. #skills #design #appliedtechnology #dt #dandt #mtw #making
