Students' Favourite Award
I entered my fake news algorithm into SciFest where I was awarded the
"Most Interesting Project" by the students of LIT.
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 worked on a fake news algorithm that could give users an indication
as to whether a given article may be fake or not.

I also entered PocketKnow's Augmented Reality flashcards into BT Young
Scientist. That year I won the Irish Science Teachers' Association

In 2016, I placed 1st in the Student Enterprise Awards Limerick with
