Last Thursday we went to the BT Young Scientist. It was a really good day. When we went in we first looked around at all the projects and found the group from our school. Corrie, Lauren and Aisling's project was on the effects of heavy school bags on the neck, shoulders and spine. The project was really good and they won an award for best presentation.
We then went to what we thought was a simulator but turned out to be a robot war. I actually enjoyed it but my friends weren't as impressed so we made a sneaky escape because it was very long!
For lunch we went to the shops outside and I got chips and we went back to the canteen to eat. After lunch we went to a percussion workshop which we had signed up for earlier on in the day. It was ran be Irish Aid and we learned how to play the bongo, congos etc. It was great fun and we sang an African song while playing the drums.
In the arena they had a show with a huge robot. It sang songs and entertained the crowd with some jokes. Unfortunately we had to leave early because we had to be back for 2.45 for the bus.
All in all it was a great day and I had loads of fun :)
