The brightest young minds in Donegal showed off their scientific creativity at this week’s BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition.
Schools from around the county traversed the snow and ice to make it to the RDS in Dublin for the annual event.
The trek was well worth it, as a total of nine awards returned back with students to the hills of Donegal.
