STEAM in Rockford Manor
All students who come to Rockford Manor who have a passion for all things science have the opportunity to be encouraged and guided by our science department on entering the BT Young Scientist competition and Scifest, and exhibition run by DCU.
The disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics, known collectively as STEAM, play an important role in Rockford Manor and indeed, in today's world. Developing STEAM-related literacies, promoting creative and critical thinking and advancing problem solving skills are now important components of our school. We are committed to providing equitable access to STEAM experiences and literacy for all learners.
In 2023 - 6 projects qualified for BTYSE where we won 3 awards, including Best Category Award. We also won 2023 Sci-fest, 2023 UCD digital storytelling award and became the Globe Project National Winners for our water retention project.
