A Longford TD is is encouraging students and schools across Longford-Westmeath to enter the 2027 Stripe Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition.
Fine Gael's Micheál Carrigy is urging pupils and teachers to submit their entry before the September 25 deadline ahead of the event at the RDS, Dublin, from January 6 to January 9, 2027.
Students can submit projects across five categories: Biological and Ecological Science; Chemical, Physical and Mathematical Science; Health and Wellbeing; Social and Behavioural Science; and Technology.
The 2027 prize fund has increased by 25%, with more than 150 prizes, including a €10,000 top prize. The Stripe YSTE Travel Bursary has also increased by 25% to €150,000, supporting participating schools with travel and accommodation costs.
Deputy Carrigy said, “The Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition gives students a fantastic opportunity to explore an idea, test their thinking and share their work with others.
"I would encourage students and teachers across Longford-Westmeath to take a look and consider putting forward a project before the September 25 deadline.”
Last year, Ronan Lyons of Lanesboro Community College was presented with the Regeneron Award (Technology) for his device CAPILL, a medicine dispenser designed specifically for people with reduced hand mobility often arising from conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism.
