Well done to Laura, Kharisma and Alan who were awarded 1st prize in the SciFest@Schools competition held in the hall on Tuesday, 6th March. Two external judges - Sheila Porter (CEO of SciFest) and a PhD Chemistry student from UCD - were invited to judge the student projects.
The winning project assessed the attention of students after a 1 hour class. Their project posed the question: 40 minute classes or 1 hour classes?
Second prize went to Adam, Emma and Nisha who asked the question: chewing gum or chewing dumb? Their analysis of the ingredients of chewing gum 'extra' versus organic chewing gum is most thought provoking.
The next level of this competition is SciFest@College, held in IT Blanchardstown in early May.
Well done to all the TYs who put in a lot of hard work in the last while, given their busy schedule.
Thanks to Ms. O'Sullivan, Ms. Cronin and Mr. Fennell for all their support.
