Young scientists at the ready

THE countdown is on for students putting the final touches to projects entered into this year’s Young Scientist competition.

While 500 secondary and primary school students are polishing their projects, the organisers of the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition are also getting their party pieces in order. With less than two weeks to go before the doors of the RDS open for the 43rd competition, a packed schedule of events has been announced.

Organisers are putting in place a wide array of stalls and exhibits to entertain children and visitors alike.
