SciFest@LIT 2013
Mid-West post-primary students to put their knowledge of science to the test!
Kieran O’Donnell, Limerick TD, along with Paschal Meehan, LIT’s Head of School of Science, Engineering and IT will officially open SciFest@LIT on Wednesday May 1st at 9.30am.
Post-primary school students from Limerick, Clare and Tipperary will be showing off their scientific knowledge at the regional SciFest fair which will be taking place at LIT Moylish Campus on Wednesday May 1st at 10.00am. SciFest is an all-inclusive, all-island science competition where second-level students showcase their science, technology and maths projects at a series of one day science fairs held in the 14 regional Institutes of Technologies and the University of Ulster, Magee Campus, Derry. The winners from each science fair will go on to compete at the national final in November.
The SciFest programme is primarily sponsored by Science Foundation Ireland’s Discover Science & Engineering Programme and Intel Ireland. It is also supported by a number of other companies and organisations.
Almost 170 projects at SciFestLIT will be exploring the weird and the wonderful including self-regulating speed ramps, how sleep deprivation affects teenage boys, and how sunglasses work!
