Scifest 2020: Start voting for Blarney students !! 

The Aim of Scifest: 

The aim of SciFest is to encourage a love of science, technology, engineering and maths through active, collaborative, inquiry-based learning and to provide a forum for second-level students at local/regional level to present and display their scientific investigations. 

Who You Are Voting For: 

Aishling Reeves and Nadia O’Sullivan, 2nd year students from Scoil Mhuire Gan Smál, Blarney, won the Boston scientific medical device award and the Intel best technology award. They completed their project on Sudden Infant death syndrome. They created a temperature monitor that will alert parents if their baby is overheating. Overheating is one of the major risk factors of SIDS.
