Over the next few days, students will learn game design, game testing, and game deployment! By the end, each student will have developed a fully functional 2D shooter game, equipped with the knowledge and skills to continue their journey in game development.

Thrilled to share the incredible work the TY #Code4Fun students from @TUS_Athlone_ used #microbits & #Arduinos crafted a high-tech geo-dome! Monitoring air-quality, moisture, temperature & light this project provided valuable indignities into a sustainable & innovative future.
Dr @Karol_Fitz & @maireadseery ran the Interactive Team Building with Minecraft event which incorporates the theme of Digital Transformation, enabling transformation by implementing digital ecosystems to support teaching, learning & assessment.

More TY students at @TUS_Athlone_. These students from @ccathlone are developing a remote moisture monitoring system for the geodome to automatically supply water when needed. Early days but great progress. #WeAreTUS #STEMeducation #innovation @thiagobro @SamOSullivan_

Inspiring to see TY students at @TUS_Athlone_ pushing boundaries with their geodome project! Setting up remote monitoring and visualisation for temperature, moisture, light, and air quality is a game-changer. Evolution in action! #WeAreTus #STEMeducation @SamOSullivan_ @thiagobro

Meet Shane, a TY #Code4Fun student at @TUS_Athlone_ Working in a team, they dove into the world of robotics and automation coding #microbits, #MoveMotors, and #ZipHalos to make their car navigate the track, pausing and alerting for obstacles! #WeAreTUS

🌱New transition year #Code4Fun students took their first step towards a sustainable future! Today they conducted early tests to measure effective transmitting distance & temperate sensing using #microbits for a self sustaining ecosystem🌍. Exciting times #WeAreTus

Just wrapped up a very enjoyable workshop with 5th year computer science students from @cbsroscommon in @TUS_ie @TUS_Athlone_. Tech was tested, tips and ideas were shared with these future ICT professionals. Great collaboration #WeAreTus @SeanGLyons @endafallontus @OBrien_SP_
Our 5th year Computer science class participated in a Code4Fun workshop with Dr. Karol Fitzgerald today. They programmed micro:bit's to transmit and receive messages and control micro:bit race cars. Thank you Karol.
