TWELVE Irish primary schools are taking part in a €4.3m European wide science and maths project. The aim of the Fibonacci Project is to help develop a strategy for scientific literacy and awareness for primary schools across Europe.
Pictured at the launch of the project are Roisin Ni Bhroin, a 6th class teacher at St Paul's school, Dublin, and Valerie Kavanagh, a 2nd class teacher at St Martin de Porres school, Tallaght.
Dr Cliona Murphy and Dr Janet Varley from the Centre for the Advancement of Science and Mathematics Teaching and Learning at St Patrick's College, Drumcondra, will coordinate the project in Ireland. The centre writes the award-winning weekly 'Eureka' science supplement for the Irish Independent.
