Four students from Scoil Mhichíl Naofa Graduate with a Platinum award in their Microsoft Partnership

Four students from 5th class in Scoil Mhichíl Naofa celebrated their Graduation yesterday in Microsoft One Place, Dublin. They are Ivan Calimutan, Juliet Wallace, Mya Whelan and James Mannion.

These four students have been working very hard on a project with Microsoft Dream Space since September. They became Microsoft Dream Space Ambassadors (DSAs) and worked closely with an educator at Microsoft, Neeve Hyland on a project where they learned and then taught code to other children and teachers in the school.

They had a number of coding projects to teach to other classes which all the children involved enjoyed. They also did a module on promoting Internet Safety within the whole school.

As part of their Graduation Ceremony the children had to make a presentation in front of the Microsoft Dream Space team, other participating schools and their teachers. They put on a truly wonderful presentation. They also showed the video below at the end of their presentation which they had poured their hearts and souls into making.

At the end of the graduation day, they were presented with their certificates. They had achieved the highest award, Platinum. We were all thrilled.

They have been chosen to present in front of other teachers and school leaders this week in Microsoft. Here they will explain the project they took part in and inform other teachers on how they could implement it in their own schools.

We are so proud of their achievement.
