The ARC Mobile Aquaculture Classroom has arrived for our 5th and 6th Class students with thanks to BIM National Fisheries College of Ireland
Aquaculture is the farming of plants and animals in the water.
BIM’s Aquaculture Remote Classroom, or ARC for short, is a schools programme aligned with the Irish primary school curriculum. It is designed to help younger audiences learn about aquaculture using immersive technologies including VR headsets so pupils can plunge to the depths’ of the sea to learn about how salmon, oysters and mussels are farmed in Ireland.
The ARC is jointly funded by the Government of Ireland and the EU under the European Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF).
