Congratulations to Clontuskert’s Senior Robotics Teams who won three Awards at the World Robot Olympiad for Breakthrough, Innovation and Best Project.

The WRO was sponsored by Pat and Mary Howley who were in attendance with the Howley family. Pat, a former math teacher in St. Mary’s in Galway was one of the first teachers in Ireland to teach coding. The Pat Howley Awards at World Robot Olympiad are a fitting tribute to his legacy.
