We are thrilled to announce that our students Lily O’Callaghan, Eoghan Hinchy, and Abbie O’Connor have won 1st place at the prestigious BD Stem Stars Competition with their project, IndependentMe!
Their innovative healthcare device, designed to support independent living for individuals with memory impairments, stood out among strong competition, impressing the judges with its creativity, impact, and technical excellence.
As part of their incredible achievement, the team secured a €10,000 prize for Mungret Community College and a €2,000 award for themselves—a fantastic recognition of their dedication, hard work and ingenuity.
We extend our sincere gratitude to BD for this amazing opportunity, which not only celebrates young innovators but also empowers students to use STEM for real-world impact.
This is a proud moment for our school, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what the future holds for Lily, Eoghan, and Abbie. Congratulations again on this well-deserved success! 🚀🎊
