"Strategies for hangman”, “The Physics and chemistry of spiders' webs” or “The power of visualization in sport” are among some of the prize winning projects by Cork entrants to the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition that are on display at Lifetime Lab during February

The display of over 50 projects from 23 schools will be launched by Lord Mayor Cllr. Dara Murphy on Friday 5th February with participating students on hand to speak about their projects. The students will also get the opportunity to attend an exciting Chemistry Magic Show staged by Dr. Declan Kennedy of UCC.

The students’ project posters will be on display in the Lifetime Lab Visitor Centre where members of the public will be able to view the students work, as well as digital video clips of the students talking about their projects.

The idea is to recognise the work of students and their teachers, who have represented Cork at national level, and to give interested members of the public, an opportunity to view some of the projects in their local area. For aspiring young scientists who have not had the opportunity to visit the Exhibition at the RDS in Dublin this is an ideal opportunity get a taste for what it is all about.

Lifetime Lab is open from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. Teachers are welcome to bring school groups to visit the display but pre-booking is necessary.
