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 :)
