Sacred Heart Tullamore and Colaiste Choilm fly the flag for Team Ireland this May.
It's only the start of a robotics revolution for an all girls school in Offaly.
Sacred Heart Tullamore are set to represent Ireland at the VEX World Championships this May.
Fifteen awards have been picked up by the school over the years in other VEX competitions- including 3 at the National Lego League championships.
It's the overall Excellence Award won at this week's National Championships that earned them their first Worlds qualification.
Teachers at Sacred Heart Tullamore Sindy Mulready and Aisling Burke oversaw the team-with Miss Burke saying STEM has grown in the school:

Colaiste Cholm in Tullamore is the other Offaly school who will represent Ireland in the VEX World Robotics Championships this May.
The team of eleven students was overseen by teacher Joe Molloy - and won their ticket to America by winning the Design Award at the National Championships.
A family team from Tullamore also tasted success in the primary school category - as brothers Bruce and Matthew Berry from the "School of Bots" won the Energy Award.
