Science Foundation Ireland Best Project Award for Orla McCorry

Congratulations to Orla McCorry for winning the Science Foundation Ireland Best Project Award at Scifest@college in IT Carlow. This is a wonderful achievement, especially given the rigorous judging the projects received over the last few months. Receiving the top award in IT Carlow means that Orla’s project, entitled ‘Trees on the Bog – Good or Bad for Carbon Storage’, has qualified for the Scifest@college National Final in November. The Science Department in Heywood very much look forward to this! Well done Orla!
