Young Scientist Exhibition - 2018
The first years were given the opportunity to attend the Young Scientist competition on January 12th. In previous years St. Marys has sent in entries to the competition.
2018 will see the exhibition celebrate its 54th year, making it one of the longest standing exhibitions of its kind in the world. The 2017 event was the largest exhibition to date with 4,591 students from 375 schools across the island of Ireland, covering 2,091 projects, competing for the title of BT Young Scientist & technologist of the Year.
If students are interested in entering into the competition they can check out the competition website on http://btyoungscientist.com/ for more information and talk to their teacher. It is advisable to start early if you are planning to enter the competition.
The Young Scientist competition can really help students gain insight into some of the more practical aspects of science. This can help them decide if perusing a career in science is for them. Its also a good opportunity to learn how to work together in groups or individually if students wish.
