Two students from Presentation College in Headford have won EirGrid’s Cleaner Climate Grand Award at the SciFest National Finals.

Rory Maguire and Matthew Daly impressed judges with their exploration of the sustainability of local GAA clubs, which looked at their respective carbon footprints, seeing them take home the Climate Award.

Currently in its 19th year, the SciFest brings together some of the brightest young minds in Ireland. A total of 62 students from schools across the country competed at the national finals.

The competition is open to second-level students, with the aim of promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) education and providing a platform for students to present and display their scientific projects.
