Transition Year students from the Glenties school took part in an Innovating Communities course

TY students from the Glenties Comprehensive recently completed an Innovating Communities course in Design Thinking. 

The 47 students worked in two groups with facilitators from Ice Cream Architecture and Donegal Local Development Company (DLDC). The end result was an online students’ magazine and a mobile phone Sports App.

The content of the online applications was written entirely by the students themselves and covered items such as sport, sports training and competing, dealing with injuries and teamwork. placeholder image
