The mobile delivery engine has been designed to bring concepts of kinaesthetic learning and gamification to challenge and reward lifelong learning. Cities become interactive learning playgrounds where schools, home and educational spaces such as museums and galleries become interconnected and interactive spaces.

BEO’s three simple aims are achieved by the organising and promoting of music events:

1. A meaningful and workable business type project for TY classes in schools.
2. Allow the Irish musicians an opportunity to perform to Young Irish audiences.
3. All done while promoting the event through Irish.

What better way to motivate Irelands 15 yr old than allow them to promote a Rock Concert in their own area!

The NCCA already provide parents and teachers with a website to search for the various curricular learning outcomes that need to be achieved in each subject during each year in Primary school. However, this is an open source website and offers no indication as to when each learning outcome is to be achieved.

This project would provide teachers with a site to highlight the learning outcomes that are being taught during a specific time frame a week, a month,  this will then be automatically be sent to parent via text/email alert. Parents can then view the list of proposed activities to bring their child’s learning into the real world.  Linked Learning provides support for parents to engage with their children in an informal way, connecting their school objectives to their everyday life, shared interests and hobbies.

The primary aim of the initiative is to promote current scientific research while enabling school students to develop the skills that are required and an understanding of what it is like to be a science researcher.

ScienceProject.ie supports a learning experience that brings the science curriculum into context for school students as they gain hands-on real world experience of science and it’s benefit to society.  ScienceProject will be carrying thier first stage market research and feasibility, engaging with researchers and developing concepts for the web site and brand id.
