BTYSE

Last Thursday, our year went to the RDS to view all of the projects in the BT Young Scientist Exhibition.

We arrived at roughly 11 o'clock and went straight to a circus tent behind the RDS and watched a robot show. They brought out three celebrity judges...
                  

R2D2 from Star Wars, 

And a 'Creeper' from the popular video game 'Minecraft'.

 A Dalek from Doctor Who,

When the robot show was over, we went into the main exhibition. 

We saw lots of projects with fancy names like "A study using statistical methods of people's attitudes to the ageing workforce of the future" by some students in Kinsale Community School in Cork. This project won the title of "Best Group" 

There were also lots of stalls set up at the back of the RDS for television and radio stations. They were interviewing people about the exhibition. Ryan Tubridy from RTE was there and Rebecca, Sorcha and i got a picture with him :)

Mo Thaithí oibre

Aoibheann anseo!

Chaith mé cúpla lá ag fáil taithí oibre leis an tréidlia áitiúil anseo mar chuid den chúrsa idirbhliana. D'fhoghliam mé a lán faoin bpost nuair a bhí mé ann. Chun an fhirinne a rá, ní raibh dheisagam móran a dhéanamh mar nach raibh aon dhailiocht agam ach bhí chead agam féachaint ar gach rud a bhí ar suil.

D'huisigh mé ar a leath uair tar eis a seacht agus d'eirigh mé ar a hocht a chlog. Dith mé mo bhricféasta agus suil mé ar a leath uair tar eis a hocht.

Scubaim an t-urlair gach lá mar bíonn na hanmhíthe ag suil timpeall ar faidh cleachtadh. Bhí mé ag feachaint ar na obráid ar suil. Bhí sé an simmiúil.

Bhí na daoine a bhí ag obair in eineacht liom an cineasta agus cairdúil.

D'eirigh leis an tréidlia cos ainmhithe a shábháil nuair a tharla timpiste dó.

Níl a fhois agam cinnte fós ar mhaith liom i mo tréidlia ach bíonn mé taitneamh as an obair seo.
