continued from pg 31 3rd level institutes SligoIT and NUIG were at the event offering advice. One of their passions, which was on display, is NUIG’s famous “GEEC” (Galway Energy-Efficient Car), Ireland’s sole competitor in the SHELL ECO-MARATHON. The future plan for Syndic8 is to expand the competition to more students and ensure that more people have access to STEM related activities, events and resources.
