Congratulations to the three TY SciFest@College groups who won 6 prizes between them for their coding projects on Wednesday, 4th May in TU Dublin Blanchardstown. A phenomenal achievement!
For the first time ever the whole TY class went to participate and cheer on the TY groups who were entered into the competition. This was the first SciFest@College competition that we've been at in person since May 2019 - so it was really exciting to be back in TU Dublin Blanchardstown.

Well done to you all - all your hard work since September paid off!
