The TYs started off with a busy first week in January, with the latest updates by Liam (TY).  On Thursday, 8th January the TY’s went to the Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition 2026 to support Callum and Sanket in the competition. They were competing in the Intermediate/Group/Technology category with their FluxChess project. Well done on winning a Highly Commended award.

On Friday, 9th January  we then went skiing on the Kilternan dry slopes for our first class.

On Monday, 12th January we went to the EPIC museum and the Jeanie Johnston (see separate EPIC & Jeannie Johnston blog). We got to see the design and how those few weeks would have been like on the boat.

The 4Ys are sitting their CAT test this Thursday, 15th January.
