Promoting the teaching of STEM subjects to Primary students on a bilocation basis by Post Primary Transition Year students

There is often a perceived fear and disconnect among primary school students of the prospect of learning the STEM subjects at post-primary level. The purpose of this project is to start addressing this perception and seek to make the learning of the STEM subjects less fearful and less daunting. IN conjunction with our Transition Year students, we will go out to the Primary schools and commence the basic learning of these subjects before they start in post primary. The students will also attend our school and carry out experiments within the school lab. This will reduce the fear levels, improve performance in these areas, increase the uptake of these subjects later on in post-primary education and enhance socialization among the students. The students will not come from just one school beu a number of schools from where on occasion there may be a single student joining our post primary school
