Young Scientist

Science has always been very strong at Loreto High School and we are proud to encourage all students, especially those in 4th year who complete a project module, to take part in SciFest and The BT Young Scientist competitions amongst others.

The BT Young Scientist Exhibition is a competition open to all students in Ireland every year.  It provides the students with an opportunity to investigate, explore and develop their science skills while working on a scientific project of their choosing. Entries are due early September and for those who qualify, the exhibition takes place over the course of a week in early January.

SciFest is another fantastic national science competition that takes place on an annual basis. Regional stages are held for competitors, and usually begin to take place in the second term of the school year.

The BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE) 2025 has once again showcased the incredible talent and innovation of students from across Ireland. This year, the exhibition featured a diverse array of projects that highlighted the creativity and dedication of young scientists.

The BTYSTE continues to be a platform where young minds can explore and present their scientific ideas, fostering a spirit of innovation and collaboration. Congratulations to all the participants for their outstanding contributions!
