The BT Young Scientist exhibition was on 2 weeks ago in the RDS, and all of transition year got to go and support our school :) It had been two years since I was last there in 2nd year, and I swear it hadn't changed a bit! There were hundreds of projects and I tried to see as many as possible. Some were very interesting such as one group who made a windmill out of bicycle parts, and another group who did a study on the most intelligent child in a family (the eldest? or the youngest?)
Stephanie, Kate, and Aoife were one group from our year representing the school, and there project was called 'The free radical theory of aging and the counter-acting affects of antioxidants' I know it's a bit of a mouthful and I don't even understand it fully! :L Basically they tested different antioxidants on microscopic worms to see if they would live longer. The girls did very well and were awarded highly commended, it was well deserved! :D
Although there were lots of interesting projects and stands, most girls were interested in getting lots of free stuff :L I myself left with a free bouncy ball, and some badges!
