Thirteen students from TY have entered the BT Young Scientist 2012. Their projects vary from developing artificial soil for arid countries and the perfect rugby place kick to the psychology behind “Where’s Wally” and do “red heads” feel more pain! The news will come out in late October to whether they have been accepted or not. If they are accepted, they get to travel up to the RDS in Dublin for 4 days. The best of luck to them!
