HEAnet Special Award, BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition 2025
The BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE) was held at the RDS in Dublin from January 8 to 11, 2025. As part of the prestigious awards presented at the event, the HEAnet Special Award was conferred by Aoife Farrell, School Project Manager at HEAnet, to Niall Hennessy, a fifth-year student from St. Andrew’s School in Dublin.
