You and your class can discover the engineering of three of Ireland’s heritage sites:

1. Parke’s Castle
2. Hill of Tara
3. Rock of Cashel

Each heritage site has an engineering challenge pack full of engineering themed hands-on activities, through which children can discover Ireland’s engineering and heritage history.

Each challenge pack contains:

• full instructions
• worksheets
• fun hands-on activities that can be completed in small groups in 15 – 60 minutes
• activities with curriculum links and engineering connections
• activities intended for primary school children aged 8 to 12

Your class could make The Hill of Tara: The Mound of Hostages in Papier Mâché, Parke’s Castle: Brian’s Boat using newspaper and spaghetti or The Rock of Cashel: Weathering the Weather activity with a bathroom sponge and watercolour paints.

There are lots more activities to choose from using materials that are readily available!
