Farney Army back to winning ways!
60pc of the participants at the BT Young Scientist were girls this year. And the winners are three amazing sisters who have the potential to save lives and inspire the next STEM era of See It, Be It. A privilege to get to interview them at the Gala to end the 61st exhibition. ๐๐
๐๐จThis is just wonderful news in a year when 60pc of participants are girls!! Three Kerry sisters win BT Young Scientist top prize ๐
โThe greatest fulfilment for yourself and others can be when you locate your contribution within a commitment for the welfare of all global citizensโ, @president.ie told young scientists today. Amazing morning spent with future focussed young innovators and committed business leaders. ๐
