One of the youngest, highly commendable teams in the 2020-2021 edition of Climate Detectives is the Fenor NS Team from Waterford, Ireland. The Fenor NS Team is composed of 25 students ages 8-11 years old. The title of their project investigation was Investigating Storms and how they affect the Local Environment where they focused on the effects of storms in their local environment and various ways to mitigate or prevent damages from this weather event.

They also conducted an experiment at home called ‘Rain Cloud in a Jar’ which demonstrated how clouds cause rain to fall from the atmosphere.
Het team haalde informatie uit nationale kranten, interviews, mediaverslagen en artikelen, en vond zo manieren waarop burgers de effecten van stormschade kunnen verminderen. Ook kwamen ze met een indrukwekkend actieplan!
ESA wil haar oprechte waardering uitspreken voor het geweldige werk van dit team van jonge wetenschappers. Allemaal gefeliciteerd!
