Three students from 2A1, Gaille Pajarito, Holly O’Connor and Sarah Hanly travelled to Waterford Institute of Technology on Wednesday 1st May to compete in this year’s Scifest. The competition attracted entries from all over the south east, with over 100 students presenting over 40 projects. A large team of judges drawn from industry in the southeast and from the schools of Science and Engineering at WIT questioned the participants on their scientific investigations.
The girls were very successful, achieving the award for Best Environmental Project, sponsored by Green Innovation and Future Technologies.
Their project was entitled ‘A cleaner way to make your garden green’ and in it the students investigated the use of desalinated sea water and diluted grey water as a source of nutrients to boost plant growth.
