Minecraft Buzz-off game</h3>
<br />
Took a different slant this year with the buzz-off game and decided to go with a theme: Minecraft.<br />
Trying to integrate wiring and hide electronic components is always a challenge so we tried laminating and cutting groves to hide wires etc. It worked a treat. Some of the student projects turned out so well and they really got involved in the whole process from start to finish.<br />

Night Lights</h3>
Students present their night light projects using a Genie c08 microcontroller. This is a lovely little project which allows students to get to grips with programming a basic microcontroller and sets them up for the coming challenge of programming their sumo robots. Lots of technology used here, from CADCAM to vacuum forming and laminating plywood and acrylic to give some unique effects when these lights shine.<br />

Some Leaving Certificate animatronic projects. A superb job was done on all projects by 6th year students this year who had to design and make a system or artefact based on the theme of animatronics. For the moment, here are the pictures but I'll be updating them soon with videos to follow.<br />

Sumo Robots</h3>
On the 20th May 2016 Villier's Technology Sumo Robots battled it out in the Irish EA Sumo Robot Games and were victorious. Team Cortex (Ben Crowley) came out on top beating over 150 other sumo robots from all over Ireland to win the Junior EA Games Sumo Robot Competition. It was a great day and our team of nine robots did superbly well. It culminated in a tense final against "The Wall" from St. Gerald's College, Castlebar. In the end there could only be one winner and having come so close in previous years, this turned out to be our year in the end.<br />

Transition year is a great opportunity to explore design and be creative. This has without doubt been accomplished in the superb form of the lamp in the picture below. Taking raw wood in the inspiring form of a dog and recreating that scene in painted form is inspiring.<br />

Sometimes you get get inspired by the materials you work with.

Summer is officially over!</h3>
<br />
Its been a lovely summer break, but we're back starting a new school term with lots of enthusiasm for the year ahead. It's great to see a new bunch of 1st year students coming into the school and like always they start sampling technology for the first time. We'll catch up with them in a few weeks to see how they are getting on. But for now here's a little something technology related.<br />
