Killarney

<h3>Bright sparks from Killarney Community College (KCC) not only won the overall prize at SciFest 2022 last week but they also won the Life Science’s category award.</h3>
It was a huge achievement for the Fifth Years as 58 projects had been entered with over one hundred students participating in the MTU, Tralee.
The trio of Rachel Griffin, Liam Waldron and Luke O&#8217;Sullivan, will now go on to represent Kerry in the national finals in November with their project ‘Self-similarity and Fractal Geometry: Roots of Pythagorean Theorem’.
KCC had four projects in total at the competition and are delighted to emerge victorious.
&#8220;Everyone at the college is extremely proud of these students,&#8221; their science teacher Ms Maire Spillane said. &#8220;They&#8217;ve always shown a huge interest in the subject and it&#8217;s great that their passion and scientific minds are being acknowledged and celebrated. In the words of keynote speaker on the day, Karen Weeks, the first woman to row solo across the Atlantic, &#8220;dreaming big actually does work!&#8221;.&#8221;
