1st Year Workshop 

One of the main components of our Outreach programme is to promote physics at Leaving Cert level. Today, Tayyaba and I gave a workshop to a group of keen 1st Year students. 

The class was treated to a short presentation on CanSat, Space Explorations, Rocket Science and Newton's Third Law. 

The students were then divided into groups and carried out an activity to demonstrate Newton's Third Law (every action has an equal and opposite reaction). Each team built a Rocket Cart out of paper, straws, balloons and Polo Mints. 

It was a hugely successful workshop and we hope to give more as the competition progresses.
