Thanks to Eugowra PS and our Schools Plus Grant the day was fully funded and there was no cost for students. On the day the students experienced new technology such as ozbots, dash robots, makey makey, microbits, coding for dance party and lego wedo. Each term our students will participate with our small schools in STEM based activities. These days are a fabulous way for our students to interact with others, learn new skills and be part of a larger cohort. The staff who attended the day reported that the students’ behaviour and manners were wonderful.
