Four TY teams competed in the SciFest@College competition hosted by TU Dublin (Blanchardstown) on Wednesday, 3rd May. Well done to Rachel, Jamie and Caoimhe who won two awards for their coding project called "Hidden Disabilities" - 1st in the Intermediate Technology category and a Regeneron special award for Life Sciences!
All four teams started working on their coding projects in September using Scratch. A panel of two judges (lecturers in TU Dublin) interviewed each team at least once; in some cases some of the teams saw six judges.
- Tree Clicker - Finn, Stephen and Esmail
- Fog of War - Devlin, Sean and Emily
- Yummy Minds - Miruna, Kishaylin and Adam
- Hidden Disabilities - Rachel, Caoimhe and Jamie
Not only did they code the projects by themselves, but they also designed the look and feel of the game, along with a poster outlining the design process.
Well done each of you!
Ms O'Kelly
