What it is
A free science competition
for your whole class.
for your whole class.
Open to every primary school in Ireland, 2nd class to 6th, and to Junior Cycle classes in secondary school, 1st to 3rd year. You play it together on your board, as a class, in five minutes. Nobody needs a login but you.
Each go starts with a one-minute Fact Race, then a run of quick science rounds.
This year's Science Week theme is water, so lots of the rounds are about water.
How it works
1Enter your class. One short form, once.
2Play together on your board, twice every school day.
3Your best single go goes on the leaderboard, all Ireland and by county.
The challenge is finished for this year and returns next year. Want to use Coding Ireland with your class in the meantime?
