Many of the 14 projects from Kildare schools selected for the 57th BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition have Covid-19 as their theme.
Pupils from Coláiste Naomh Mhuire in Naas looked at "the effects of face coverings in a school environment" for their project while students from Leixlip Community School carried out a statistical investigation into the environmental impact of Covid-19.
On the same topic, representatives from Scoil Mhuire Community School in Clane looked at "Sensor Data in a Time of Coronavirus: using environmental factors to generate a warning system for indoor spaces when safe capacity is exceeded."
