It was an action-packed day in the virtual exhibition hall, as the first round of judging got underway at the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE) on Wednesday.

At the opening ceremony, President Michael D Higgins paid an inspiring tribute to the students taking part, and their parents and teachers.
