Contest deadline looms for budding scientists

YOUNG science enthusiasts have just one month to get their entries in for next January’s BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition.

This year’s winner Aisling Judge, the youngest in the competition’s history, was full of encouragement yesterday as she reminded students returning to school of the looming deadline on October 6.

“Students interested in entering should talk to their teachers and get a move on as there are only a few weeks to go. It’s not as hard as you think, spend some time chatting with your friends and family and begin throwing ideas onto a sheet of paper, start to question why things happen,” she said.
