The winners of our this year’s TY Scifest@School were announced on December 9th and will now progress to the next level SciFest@College, which will take place in the new year. There have been many wonderful projects this year and all TY students have been working hard. Congratulations to the winners and well done to all involved!
SciFest@School is where second-level schools host their own in-house STEM fair. Established in 2006, the SciFest programme consists of a series of one-day STEM fairs for second-level students. The aim of the programme is to encourage an interest in, and love of, the STEM subjects.
