Tipperary students were recognised and commended at the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition 2021 awards ceremony earlier this month.

A total of eight awards were presented to Tipperary students for their impressive projects entered in this year’s virtual exhibition. Speaking at the live awards ceremony, the Minister for Education Norma Foley TD said: “I would like to extend my thanks to everyone involved in ensuring the first ever virtual BTYSTE was an incredible success; the organisers, the judges, the dedicated teachers; and of course, the parents, guardians and families whose support is absolutely key to this unique and important event.”

Shay Walsh, Managing Director, BT Ireland, said: “Congratulations to all of our participants, and particularly to all our winners. For more than five decades the exhibition has shown the ingenuity of Ireland’s youth and this year’s virtual exhibition is no exception.” BT Ireland have announced that the public will have free access to the BTYSTE 2021 portal content until the end of January, providing extended access to all of the content to audiences in Ireland and internationally.
