EDUCATION

Students from Scoil Mhuire Gan Smál, New Inn, took part in the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition Primary Science Fair which was held in classrooms across the country on May 18 and 19.

For over 20 years, the Primary Science Fair has been a core component of the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE), allowing younger students to develop their interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) in a non-competitive environment and encouraging them to become future participants in the exhibition.

Projects from 23 schools across Ireland were showcased during the two-day event, exploring exciting new ideas and fascinating topics in the areas of STEM.
