The Irish CanSat competition

To continue with the national CanSat competitions, we go back to an island nearby th previous country we talked about: Ireland.

In this country the competition was organised by the university of Limerik, and in it took part three schools from  all over the country: Castleroy College, Laurel Hill Secondary School and  Crescent School.

Castelroy College has done a great job with his CanSat. The team is composed by: Art O'Connor, Rory Cahill,  Martin Atkinson, Yassin Soulimane, Amira Mahdi, Richard Kanstevitch and Neil Sheadan. From what I can see from their blog, they made a lot of effort trying to satisfy an ambicious outreach. They posted every mmeting they had, and selected the next objectives. I havent done a lot of reseach on the team but I have been able to see that the distribution of the work had its impact on the blog: there are personal blogs which represent different parts of the job.

Laurel Hill Secondary School is a prestigious school on what CanSat is concerned. In the first European Cansat competition, they achieved the medal can which made them second. Here may be found an exhaustive review of the trip to Andenes on August 2010.





Finally, Crescent School made it to win this years competition, and it would represent the country in Norway. They have a blog and a great facebook page, in the one they describe their work and performance. I'm looking forward to meet them in this year competition. Their blog structure is similar to ours, so it is quite complicated to know who are the components of the team.
