Desmond College Launch Young Scientist Week
Staff, students and parents gathered in Desmond College on Monday night for the launch of Young Scientist Week.
The School has seventeen projects accepted into the Competition this year, which makes it the second best represented school in the whole country and the top Limerick School yet again.
Desmond College has a proud and well established tradition of success in this prestigious competition which receives huge media coverage and has captured the imagination of the Irish public.
Desmond College, which places great emphasis on the study of STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) is delighted to have 35 of its students taking part in this National Competition.

Dr Eamonn Magee President of the Federation of Irish Beekeepers Association presented Kiara Carroll, Julie Cantillon and Terri Keane with a perpetual Beekeepers of Excellence award for 2015 for participating in the BT Young Scientist Competition.
The girls project was in the senior biological section, it was a statistical investigation into the treatment of the Varroa mite and its effect on the native Irish Apis mellifera. The girls worked with the docile hives of limerick beekeeper Mr Donal Cooper.
