For the second consecutive year, Europe’s largest national Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) event will be a virtual affair taking place from the 12th -14th January 2022. Now in its 58th year, the BTYSTE showcases the incredible ability of Irish students to create and test potential solutions that tackle everything from everyday problem of the biggest, global issues of our time. Once again BT Ireland, the exhibition organiser, has waived project entry fees for participating students.
The BT Young Scientist was set up by two physics lecturers from University College Dublin, who became interested in the concept of student teamwork, project based, and enquiry led learning in the 1660s. From this interest the BT Young Scientist Competition originated. There are several awards that students can win, yet the biggest prize is to be named BT’s Young Scientist of the Year Overall. This individual or group of students will then go forward to compete in The European Competition, and the US International Science and Engineering Fair.
We wish Raoul and Anemona the best of luck for the competition in 2022
