A robot that can save people's lives underwater - that's the winning group project at this year's BT Young Scientist Bootcamp, which includes a Westmeath student.
TY Student at Athlone Community College Toomas Donohoe was part of the 'TactAi' concept, which won the Best Group award.
The event ran this week at UCD with 30 students all over the country who took part at this year's Scientist Exhibition chosen to take part, eight of those students being from Westmeath.
Students are in business development workshops throughout the week and learn how to develop their idea into a product.
