Launch of 2022 BT Young Scientists competition
A shout out has been made about the return of the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE) in January 2022, writes Brian Byrne. Again it is planned as a virtual affair as was this year's and will run from 12-14 January.
It will be the 58th year of the event, and because of the pandemic, organiser BT Ireland has again waived student entry fees.
More than 200 prizes will be up for grabs across four categories and age groups. The overall top prize is a trophy, €7,500 prize money and the opportunity to represent Ireland at the European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS).
BTYSTE 2022 is open to second-level students aged between 12 and 19 years. To enter, an individual or group must submit a one-page proposal outlining their project idea. Entries can be made in any one of four categories: technology; social and behavioural science; biological and ecological science; and chemical, physical and mathematical science.
The deadline for submissions is Monday, 27th September 2021. Visit btyoungscientist.com for more information.
