Young Einsteins vie for coveted science title

PAUL HARRINGTON, 12, put in the boot to show off his project at this year’s BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition.

The first-year student at Kinsale Community School, Co Cork, has been examining the relationship between inflation pressure and the performance of a football.

His project, one of 500 being showcased at the RDS in Dublin, presents the results of tests on how air pressure in a football affects the distance it travels.
