Congratulations to Maeve Kenny, 5th year student, on winning 3rd place in Social and Behavioural Sciences Senior category. A super achievement for Maeve and her teachers Clare Atkinson and Belinda O’Gorman.
Maeve is a 5th year student in Scoil Mhuire Secondary School. Her project is a Wearable Memory Device. The purpose of project was to design a medical product to alleviate everyday minor worries such as remembering to lock the front door. It will be targeted at people who suffer from anxiety, OCD and other memory or stress related illnesses. Maeve also hopes this product will prove useful to the general public. Maeve has developed a functional bespoke wood and glass pendent and necklace with the help of Gerry Ruane (Burren Jewellery) using a Human Centered Design approach. Maeve also produced various 3D printed prototypes in the development process.
