Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Liam Carew:

From personal experience, it was super to be involved in such a competition. We competed online in 2021 and did not get to see the other students' projects. We learn about science and STEM and everything that goes with that in school, but when we go to competitions like the young scientist exhibition in Dublin and see over 1,000 students presenting the work they have put in we get to see science and technology in practice. It is great to see. It helps our development and we learned a lot from that.
