engineering practices?Results of a survey of high school teachers on their perceptions of student motivation andlearning as well as the impact of the competition on student career plans are also presented.1. IntroductionTeachers want their students to succeed in what they are taught and seek testing instruments toassess their learning. Sometimes regular testing instruments are not adequate. For such reasonsteachers have students participate in academic competitions. Competitions expose and enhancestudent’s practical understanding of the subject matter by providing a platform to practice.Competitions help students become successful, build teamwork, and assist in improving studentskills. The experience of going through a design, build, and test cycle

students design should assume noprior computing experience. Considering we do not have a computer science teacher preparationprogramme in any university in Ireland, we cannot assume any prior computing experience.Occasionally we work with teachers that studied computer science, changed careers and completedteacher training or teachers that would have worked in the UK education system as ICT teachersand moved back to Ireland but these would be exceptions.Lesson 3: Build RelationshipsBuild relationships with national networks/bodies responsible for curriculum development and foractivities relating to teachers and ICT.
