BT Young Scientist Exhibition!

On the 14th of January 2011, all of the Transition Years and the Second Years were off to the RDS in Dublin for a Science and Technology Exhibition. In St. Wolstans we had two groups that were accepted into the competition; one from TY and one from 5th year. It took us about an hour to get there but when we did there had to be about 400-500 people there! Girls and boys from schools all over Ireland and age 10-18. We got in there and it was really hard to get around because there was so many people and you didn't really get to see the projects due to people pushing and shoving you. I met up with some of my friends and we walked around and the first thing we went to was the Robot Wars, which was pretty fun because we got drenched. We managed to find our way around so that we saw everything. It was so fun because people were giving away things left, right and centre; I think I got about 50 pens and 20 pencils along with highlighters, etc. Other things that we got were Frisbee's and badges. We then went outside where we could get either Eddie Rockets or a cup with chocolate and marshmallows so we went for the cup of chocolate. It lasted the whole day and we got back to school at about 3 and we tried to get Mr. Dooly to let us go home 20 mins early but.........he said no :(
