Wonderfully Impressive Awards for Derrinagree N.S.

Derrinagree NS Microsoft Rural Innovation Award.   Sincere congratulations on such a prestigious achievement.  5th & 6th Class took part in a Microbit programming challenge hosted by Microsoft. Their project was called ‘Aqua Alert!’ They programmed their mini computers (mocrobits) to detect when the soil in their vegetable bed was dry & send a ‘WATER ME’ alert to another wearable device. They programmed yet another microbit to detect rain, which would in turn interrupt the previous watering command. This AQUA ALERT! project won them the overall Microsoft Rural Innovation Award at Microsoft Offices in Dublin. They met many interesting people who had interesting & inspiring jobs, such as Game/ Graphic Designers.
