We are incredibly grateful to Thermoking who sponsor the project, VEX, and all the staff at ATU, especially Carine Gachon, for their unwavering support and hospitality.

Our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Gohery and Mrs. Murray for their training and guidance, which played a crucial role in the team’s success. Additionally, we extend our gratitude to Ms. Egan and Ms. Brunnbauer for their support and encouragement throughout the day.

Congratulations to our Senior Robotics Team who came 6th at the All Ireland VEX IQ Robotics Final in MTU in Cork yesterday. We are so proud of them all. It was a fantastic day of fun, collaboration and teamwork at the event where we were joined by 23 other teams from across the country. It was our first time at the All Ireland event and we were delighted to meet Carine Gachon, David Hodge and Anthony Bayle who have supported and mentored us in VEX Robotics over the past three years.

We were delighted to travel to the event with Creagh National School and we say a special thanks to Thermoking in Galway who sponsored the bus costs for both schools to represent the Galway-Mayo region.

Thanks to Kate Murray, Katie Feehily and Teresa Nevin who coached and supported the team.

Comhghairdeas libh go léir.
