BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE)

BTYSTE encourages students to develop a science or technology project that focuses on an original topic, tests their research skills and results in scientific creativity. Each year, hundreds of entries from pupils across Ireland are submitted, all vying to win the title of BT Young Scientist(s) of the Year. Each year more than 100 BT employees volunteer to work over the five days of the exhibition demonstrating our commitment to involving our people in our Corporate Responsibilities and recognising the contribution they make to the local community.

Young Enterprise Northern Ireland (YENI)

Young Enterprise is Northern Ireland’s foremost business and enterprise education charity, and a member of the Junior Achievement Worldwide network, the world’s largest and fastest growing business and economic education organisation, reaching over 8 million young people worldwide.

Its mission is "to inspire and equip young people to learn and succeed through enterprise."

All Young Enterprise programmes are based on the principle of "learning by doing", to promote a culture of enterprise from an early age. Many of these complement existing education programmes by offering specific curriculum links. Students gain a first-hand insight into enterprise, business and the world of work, as all Young Enterprise programmes are delivered by business volunteers from our partnership organisations, all of whom are fully trained.

YENI work closely with BT to help encourage schools to develop their science and technology programmes and to enter the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition.

Junior Achievement Ireland (JAI)

Junior Achievement and Young Enterprise are sister organisations. Junior Achievement Ireland encourages young people to remain in education and teaches them the skills they need to succeed in a changing world. Junior Achievement is part of a worldwide organisation reaching out to 9.3 million young people each year. It was established in Ireland in 1995 and since then has built up a strong demand from schools throughout the country and created successful partnerships with over 150 leading organisations.

Junior Achievement is helping to create a culture of enterprise within the education system. We also help young people prepare for the world of work, giving them skills in communications and preparing for interviews. Financial literacy programmes teach students how to manage, protect and make the most out of their future salaries. As we move towards a knowledge-based economy, Junior Achievement is also bringing science and maths skills to thousands of young students nationwide through our programmes and events.

JAI work closely with BT to help encourage schools to develop their science and technology programmes and to enter the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition.
