UP, UP AND AWAY FOR CORK SCHOOL SET TO REPRESENT IRELAND AT EUROPEAN FINAL OF UNIQUE SPACE COMPETITION

19th April 2015 – Secondary school students from Scoil Mhuire Gan Smál in Blarney, Co. Cork were today announced as winners of the 2015 ESERO Ireland – CEIA National CanSat competition at Birr Castle, Co. Offaly. The team will now go on to represent Ireland at the European CanSat final in Portugal in June of this year. Eight teams from schools across Ireland took part in this unique space project to create a CanSat – a simulation of a real satellite which fits into the volume of a soft drinks can. Teams were selected from each of the regional finals hosted by Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway-Mayo Institutes of Technology earlier this year.
