💻 ‘Ireland’s Future Is Mine’- All Ireland Minecraft Competition 💻
Since September, Primary 7A have been taking part in the 'Ireland's Future is Mine' nationwide Minecraft competition, in association with Microsoft Ireland and RTÉjr.
During October and November, pupils took part in weekly Minecraft lessons and challenges, set by Corey and Amanda from Microsoft Dreamspace.
After completing all the initial challenges, the competition challenge was set: Pupils had to create a more sustainable version of their local area!
From November- February, P7A have taken time each week to plan for and create a more sustainable version of Downpatrick. They used the mantra of 'Plan- Do- Review' to help them achieve this.
After completing their Minecraft creation last week, P7A created and edited their 3 minute video presentation using Apple iMovie software.
Now that the entry has been submitted, P7A are now waiting to see if they will be selected as one of the five Ulster Trophy winners, as well as whether they will make it to the national Semi-Finals, which take place in Microsoft Dublin later this year. The competition Grand Final will also be broadcast on RTÉ Television, with 30 laptops awarded to the winning school. Good luck P7A and well done on all your fantastic work! #IrelandsFutureIsMINE
