Teacher involved: Ms G Kearney
Students from any year group can participate but it has been running with just TY students for the last number of years.
The School Digital Champion Programme welcomes all levels of ability and students work together in teams of up to four to complete their projects. Full class participation is encouraged, with the four students on the team leading the project. The focus is on participation rather than competition. School Digital Champions, can develop a project from one of the following 3 themes:
- School – Home
How can you find ways of using digital technology to support learning in school and beyond the walls of the classroom?
2. Local Community
How can you support your local community and its citizens to adapt to and benefit from using digital technology?
3. Local Entrepreneurship
How can you help your local small businesses to sell online and connect with their customers?

As part of School Digital Champions, students get the opportunity to participate in workshops on different aspects of digital technology. There are also site visits to Google, RTÉ, EA Sports and dogpatch labs to name a few.
