Primary school pupils from 3rd to 6th class are being encouraged to apply for the Primary Science Fair, which will take place at the 2024 BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE) in January.

The projects can explore a wide range of scientific areas from living things, environmental awareness and care, energy forces to the make-up of materials.

"The Primary Science Fair is an opportunity for curious young minds to explore and participate in the world of science in a fun way and to ignite a lifelong passion in research and innovation," said Mari Cahalane, head of the BTYSTE.

Class sizes of up to 30 students are eligible to enter and schools must submit their entries by Monday, 23 October.

Participating schools will find out in November if they will be showcasing their projects at the Primary Science Fair.

The fair will run alongside the 60th BTYSTE which takes place on Thursday 11 January and Friday 12 January in Dublin.
