So many things have changed this year but, thankfully, at least one constant has remained the same - Kerry students coming out on top at the annual BT Young Scientists Awards.
This year s event saw three Kerry projects emerge as the winners of their categories while numerous other projects from around the county had close second and third place finishes.
One student who was a big winner from the three-day event was Conor Casey, a sixth year student from Pobalscoil Inbhear Scéine in Kenmare.
Conor won first place in the senior individual category of the Chemical, Physical and Mathematical section for his project Using Machine Learning to Improve Numerical Weather Prediction .
