BT have announced early entry for the BTYSTE 2025 to coincide with its 25-year anniversary as custodian and organiser of the Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition
It should allow students from the north more time to formulate ideas and develop their project. The upcoming exhibition will mark BT’s 25th year as custodian and lead sponsor of the Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition. Project submissions will close at 5pm on September 27, 2024
The 2025 Exhibition will take place in Dublin from 8 - 11 January, 2025.
Secondary school students aged 12-19 years old are encouraged to start brainstorming ideas now, for submission to the 2025 exhibition. By extending the submission period, students will have more time to research and develop their ideas over the summer months.
The 2025 exhibition will showcase project entries from students in five categories: Technology, Social and Behavioural Science, Biological and Ecological Science, Chemical, Physical, Mathematical Science, and Health and Wellbeing. 250 prizes, across a prize fund of over £45,000, will be awarded across all five categories and all age groups, including the overall BT Young Scientist & Technologist of the Year Award of £6,750.
The 2025 exhibition marks a silver anniversary for BT’s custodianship of the Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition and speaking on the call for entries to the BTYSTE 2025, Paul Murnaghan, Regional Director for BT Business in Northern Ireland, said: “It has been a great privilege that BT has been custodians and organiser of the Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition for the last twenty-five years. Over that time, we have seen so much STEM talent from Northern Ireland schools at the exhibition.
“While BTYSTE alumni have gone on to develop innovative companies and contribute significantly to academic research, more importantly, the exhibition has provided a platform for Northern Ireland students to develop a love of STEM and positively contribute to broader society. We are delighted to announce that entries have opened earlier this year and I’d encourage all Northern Ireland students to get involved.”
Entrants will need to fill out an application form and the all-important one-page proposal outlining their idea. To submit a project to the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition 2025, please visit enter.btyoungscientist.ie
