D-Day approaches for Kilkenny students
There is just over one month to go before applications close for a hugely popular competition
Students and schools in Kilkenny are being reminded that there is just over one month to go before applications close for the 2025 BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE) at 5pm on Friday, September 27.
Entries have been flying in since May's open date and as the clock ticks down, competition sponsors BT Ireland are encouraging secondary school students aged 12-19 years from County Kilkenny to submit their project ideas before the all-important deadline.
Hundreds of prizes will be on offer to finalists across the various categories and age groups, amounting to a total prize fund of €50,000. The overall winner(s) of the BTYSTE 2025 will also take home the BT Young Scientist & Technologist(s) of the Year Award, worth €7,500, and will go on to represent Ireland at the European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS) in 2026.
Mari Cahalane, Head of the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition, commented: "The BTYSTE is an opportunity like no other for secondary school students in Ireland to turn ideas into initiatives and develop a lifelong passion for STEM."
