Teens tackle Covid-19 issues at the virtual BTYSTE 2021
While Covid-19 sent the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition online, many student projects focused on pandemic-related effects and solutions.
Covid-19 has been in Ireland for almost a year now and, with continuing restrictions, the 2021 BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE) looks very different to last year’s event.
Now on a completely virtual platform, the event is free to public visitors from all over the world and features 550 student projects tackling a wide variety of issues.
President Michael D Higgins opened the event today (6 January), praising the student scientists for their curiosity and determination.
