Local students wait for word on BT Young Scientists

Local students will find out this week if their entries to the BT Young Scientist Exhibition have made the cut.

12 local schools sent in more than 50 entries between them this year with the bulk of them from Kilkenny schools.

8 students from 3 schools in Carlow entered 4 projects between them while 123 students from 9 different Kilkenny schools also submitted their project ideas.

Letters were being sent out this week to those who have qualified for the exhibition in January.
