I entered the BT young scientist competition in january 2018. I was in a group of 3 which consisted of myself , Stephen Conroy and Darragh Salmon. Our project was to calculate the cost of the school run and to compare it to the cost of a free bus system for all students. We include many different factors in our research such as
- We researched the average hourly wage of a parent and using statistics calculated the amount of money lost through lost wages.
- We researched the amount of fuel consumed by several different models of cars per kilometre and calculated the cost of fuel.
- We researched the cost of the school bus service.
