Kinsale student Gemma set to play a starring role in new national series of science books
Kinsale student Gemma Whelan is set to play a starring role in a new national series of science books which she has had a huge hand in designing.
The 11-year-old is one of the nine members of Ireland's most influential young people's group, The Wonder Panel, who have been working on the four Science Apprentice books for the past five months.
The Dunderrow National School student was recruited through a national competition by University College Dublin which was looking for what it terms 'stretchy thinkers' - children full of wonder who enjoy figuring things out.
