Magh Ene College was very well represented at the 2017 BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition in the RDS last week from Wednesday 11th – Saturday 14th January. Nine Transition Year students from the college presented four different projects at the competition. This was the greatest number of projects from a single school in County Donegal. The students were accompanied by their teacher Ms. Higgins. The names of the students and their projects are as follows:
