Two Abbey Christian Brothers Grammar School pupils are celebrating their achievement in the 2022 BT Young Scientist of the Year competition.
Year 12 pupils John Paul McGreevy from Barnmeen and Ben Mooney from Saval took the BT- Northern Ireland Best Project Award for their Social and Behavioural Sciences project entitled 'Is caffeine necessary? An examination regarding whether neuromuscular/ mental tiredness is a state of mind.' Their project also took third place in the Social and Behavioural intermediate Group.
This years exhibition took part online and the pair gave a very confident presentation analysing the efects of caffine on the human brain.
Both pupils were congratulated by school Principal Sean Sloan and their Science Teacher Sarah Kee.
The BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition can be the experience of a lifetime for the students and teachers who take part and indeed many individuals have went on to become very very wealthy indeed. Patrick Collison took the Young Scientist title in 2005 and along with his brother John they are now worth an estimated €10bn each following their founding of the Stripe payment platform.
Designed to raise schools’ engagement in the critical subjects of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), the Exhibition calls upon students aged 12-19 years from all over the island of Ireland to showcase innovative science and technology project.
