In 2007-2008, Discover Science and Engineering took its first steps into the blogoshere with Project Blogger. With the help of some very enthusiastic science teachers and their pupils Project Blogger has been put through its paces and is back this year, bigger and better!

The aim of Project Blogger is to provide second level students with a web space to create your own science blogs and share your experiences in science with classmates from your own school and from other schools around Ireland. Science blogs can range from curriculum experiments to transition year experiments, Scifest, BT young scientist, science construction projects or even just a science conversation! This year we have teamed up with Scifest (www.scifest.ie) to provide you with a web space to store all your important project results, pictures, graphs, videos and discussions! You can also keep your blog private if you wish to keep your project Top Secret before entering Scifest! You can then publish it and unleash it on the world after the competition!

Tricycle Interactive Ltd were contracted by Discover Science and Engineering to upgrade this website to its current version in November 2008, these upgrades have improved the visual appeal and functionality of the site.

Features on the Project Blogger website include careers information, customisation of your blog skin, a frequently asked questions section and a sample blog to give you some ideas. Check out our blog leader board where our top bloggers will enter the periodic table hall of fame with the most active blogger of the month winning a prize!

We hope you enjoy using Project Blogger and welcome your feedback and ideas on improving our website!
