Rule of 3: Winners of Young Scientist 2013 had an 'awesome year'

FIRSTLY, well done on your huge year. Can you tell me the differences between the competitions in Dublin and in Prague?

EMER: There was quite a difference between the two competitions. First of all, the contestants at the European competition were a lot older than us, many were already in college. Also, I felt like the competition in Prague wasn’t as big as BT Young Scientist — for example, the award ceremony and opening ceremony at BT Young Scientist is far more exciting! However, both competitions had some really excellent projects at a really high level.

SOPHIE: The competition in Prague was very different, although fun it was very serious, especially at the awards ceremony! As the contestants were mostly college students the projects were of a very high standard, we found that also a little bit intimidating.
