Ms McNamara (my Applied Maths and Physics teacher ) told my Ap.Maths class about a competition that the people at the Tyndall Institute sent herinfo about. Its a national competition that runs every year called "Debating Science Issues". The prizes are great; laptops for each team member, software and teaching packs for the school, science grants for our class, and €1500 worth of book vouchers!! It would be amazing, and look really good on college applications and CVs.
To enter, Ms Mc Namara has to find a team of 6 students, which is perfect because thats how small our Applied Maths class is (It isnt a very popular subject in Ireland! lol).
Without sounding cocky or anything...our team is pretty kickass :P
Niamh and Mags are the President and Vice President of the Debating Society, and both have entered the Young Scientist competition twice and both of them also got accepted into the CIT Programme....Kate has done debating and public speaking before and has straight A's in English and Science and she got picked for CIT too. Caroline is basically a genius, and also got A's in Science and English. Sinead got selected with me to do Work Experience and is really good at debating and public speaking! And then theres me and I did debating and public speaking in First and Second year, and Drama for 7 years (so I'm comfortable speaking in front of people), and I got picked for CIT and Tyndall, and get A's in Science and English! :) So basically, we're the Dream Team for this competition!!!
Cant wait to get started, pretty confident that we will do well in the competition!
