W2!com2 As Chairman of Esat Telecom, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you all here again for the firstYoung Scientist &Technology Exhibition of the new millennium.

This is our third year as sponsor of this great event and yet again I can quite categorically state that the standard of exhibits is absolutely outstanding. There is a huge wealth of talent amongst Ireland's students and I congratulate each and every one of you who made it here this week. There is no substitute for hard work and dedication as you have shown and I can guarantee these traits will stand to you in later life.

Great credit is also due to all the schools, teachers, and parents who have provided guidance, advice and support throughout the year.

The Young Scientist &Technology Exhibition is a showcase of innovation and enterprise and I can think of no a more fitting way to begin the new Millennium.

We would envisage other schools using our project to assist with their own planning for local history project as ours is being implemented in the light of the revised curriculum with a particular emphasis on developing research skills. The project will involve extensive use of the authorware package, Hyperstudio. The collected information will be shared through e-mail with Tameside in England, Hochstadt in Germany and California in U.S.A.

Use of Graphing Calculators in Teaching Science

The aim of this project is to evaluate hand held data logging equipment as a practical and effective data applications tool appropriate to select experiments and investigations across the Junior cycle and the Senior cycle science curricula. The equipment itself interfaces to over 40 different types of sensors and probes which can be used to capture physical data in electronic form for graphing and analysis in calculators and computers. This flexibility lends itself to a wade range of both junior and senior cycle experiments.

Patrick's College, NCTE, MIT, DCU and Irish primary schools to explore and implement a programme for the use of control technology with primary school children, which will open the gateways to a new way of learning in the schools.

Technology in Music (TIM).

Our project consists of using the CUBASE program. This is a sequencing program whereby students record music audio and midi from keyboard\rnicrophone\other instruments\voice onto various tracks. They learn to pan\edit\add & all the techniques needed in a recording studio.

This music can also be displayed on notation which the program also contains i.e. score. By the end of the year the students hope to compose, perform and record music and attempt to produce a CD of their work.

They are using IMACs and Yamaha keyboards, their awn instruments and voices. Their excitement is very evident.

This project involves a comprehensive study of the local environment where ICT is an integral part of the project in preparing and writing material, collating data, compiling worksheets and educational trails, communicating between schools and publishing their findings. The objectives of the project are to carry out a cross-curricular project that will focus on the local environment as its theme and identifying particular areas for research, such as hedgerows, flora and fauna, farming methods, local monuments, folklore etc.
