      During Science Week, November 2019, we ran a ‘climate hack’ in the three secondary schools on the Dingle Peninsula. The students were given some information sheets with details on the current energy system and opportunities for reducing CO2 emissions in electricity, heating and transport. They were then asked to develop their own solutions and prepare a small poster presentation of their idea. If I win the prize money, I will use it to do a similar exercise with schools in East Cork.

      I did a school visit where we brought a 3D printer to show the students how 3D printing works. If I won I would buy another 3D printer so we could do more school visits and 3D printing demonstrations for students.

      If i win 500 euro, I would invest it in a video making software for a YouTube channel. I would use this to explain scientific concepts to students of all ages.

      I already have a blog and have given a few science communication talks if you would like to have a look. https://mirrorwithasoul.wixsite.com/website
