Over the course of the week, over 1,100 students hailing from all over the country have showcased their projects, which span the categories of technology, biological and ecological science, social behavioural sciences, and chemical, physical, and mathematical sciences. 550 projects in total have been on display, with students sharing some of their thought-provoking discoveries with the BTYSTE judges as well as the public.

Speaking ahead of this evening’s awards ceremony, Mari Cahalane, Head of the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition said “I don’t envy the panel of judges who are tasked with choosing this year’s winner! The competition really is fierce – and students taking part in this year’s exhibition have truly blown us away with the high calibre of talent, creativity and innovation evident through their projects. 

She added “Each and every student participating in the exhibition should be immensely proud of the quality of work they have produced this year.”
