School space App-eal
Budding young architects in primary schools across Tipperary and beyond are being invited by banana importers Fyffes to demonstrate their talent in a way that could provide extra accommodation for their school.
With their introduction of Go Bananas, a new free educational healthy eating app for tablets and iPads, children aged 7-10 are asked to take part in a competition that invites them to submit ideas that would provide useful school space with the winning work being brought to life in a shipping container, remodelled and fitted out to the student’s design and installed at his or her school according to its requirements.
So far, Fyffes has received lots of great ideas, such as turning the shipping container into a school kitchen, media room, games zone and library. The entry form can be downloaded from www.freddyfyffes.ie/gobananas or via the Go Bananas App in app stores.
