• Question: When you were younger did you participate in any big science competitions or show's such as the BT Young Scientist and Olympiad's ? I would love to participate in a science competition next year with my science partner :)

      Great question! I wish I had been able to but unfortunately those competitions weren’t an option for me in my school. I think they are an amazing opportunity to meet new people and see into the world of science. I know a lot of hard work goes into the competitions but it will definitely be worth it, so go for it and good luck!!

    I think its great that you are so keen to take part, I would 100% recommend it! I never took part myself and I regret it. I did attend a science summer school in UCD when I was in transition year and I loved it, it really gave me a taste of what it would be like to be a scientist. Entering BT Young Scientist will give you a great chance to meet friends and talk about science… and decide if its something you would like to do in the future! 🙂

    OMG go for it! You will get a real feel for science there and its actually super impressive what the students come up with! I finished high school outside of Ireland, but I did take part in a little science/artsy competition between my school and another when I was 13. We were a team of six and decided we would make a replica of a T.rex that moved with batteries hahah. Did not go as planned unfortunately! The judges were confused as to what the thing even was. Good old days!
