Aisling Higgins, Sinéad Deasy and Aoife O’Carroll’s project was ‘The 2 Degree Tipping Point’ and was all about public awareness of global warming.

Ciara McCarthy, Clodagh Harrington and Rachel Moloney’s project was entitled ‘Grades and Hobbies’.  They took a look at student past-times and investigated whether there was a link to the grades they received at school.

They found that music and football were the hobbies most associated with high grades.

The girls travelled to Dublin last week for the awards.
