This intermediate-level, individual project focuses on bolstering data security during AI training processes.
Meanwhile, Clongowes Wood College presents a unique approach to sports analytics with "Bowled Over," a statistical analysis of cricket bowling. This junior-level individual project examines both male and female aspects of the game using live data.

Another group from the school investigates educational inequities in "The Grade Inflation Bubble," which critiques the Leaving Certificate system's potential to perpetuate inequality.
Students at St. Paul’s Secondary School are contributing to health innovation with "Air Purifier," a senior-level group project aimed at improving air quality and promoting well-being.
