I entered my fake news algorithm into SciFest where I was awarded the

Student Enterprise Awards '17
1st place
I received this award for my educational app, PocketKnow. PocketKnow
was a tool for Junior Cert students looking for a library of content
relevant to the curriculum. It rose to the top 10 of the Educational
app charts in Ireland. To accompany the free app, I sold flashcards
that could be scanned by a user to see 3D models of curriculum-based
content appear in Augmented Reality. I placed 1st in Limerick for the
second year in a row, and placed 2nd nationally.

I also entered PocketKnow's Augmented Reality flashcards into BT Young
