We are so proud of our two SciFest National Finalists, Erin Mills and Kirsty Weldon. The girls will represent St Mary's at the Marino Conference Centre on Friday, 21 November showcasing their exciting scientific innovations.
In qualification Erin was awarded Overall Best Project & Kirsty won the Boston Scientific Award at 'Scifest at SETU' in Waterford in May.
Erin’s Project is called Neurogaze, and involves the creation of an app using eye-tracking and AI to detect eye movements for earlier ADHD diagnosis.
Erin has created a video explaining her app which she would like people to vote for the STEM outreach award.

Kirsty’s project centres around the creation of a 'Wrist Wellness: Pressure Alert System'.
This involves a wrist and hand worn device that features a traffic light system to alert users if they are exerting too much pressure on the area, so as to prevent further strain or injury.
We wish both girls every success at the National Finals.
