Tipperary students win BT Young Scientist 2023

The study looked at the impacts of secondary school on students’ mental, physical, and social well-being.

The students won two separate awards for their project along with the Tackle Your Feelings award.

Out of 550 projects and over 1,100 participating students it was Shane O'Connor and Liam Carew from The Abbey School in Tipperary that took home the winning prize at the 59th BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition.

Not long before the award was announced, the RDS was packed with beaming parents, grandparents and teachers, taking photos and cheering for getting to this stage.
