In 1963 two physics researchers from the University College Dublin, Rev. Dr. Tom Burke and Dr. Tony Scott, came across the concept of ‘Science Fairs’ while conducting research in New Mexico. The pair decided that this type of hands-on science was something that students in Ireland could benefit from. And so the Young Scientist Exhibition was born. BT has been the proud sponsor and organiser of the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition for 22 years. www.btyoungscientist.com

Rockjam presents A Musical Style Workshop.  We love Maria Careys ‘All I want for Christmas is you’ but we often wondered what the song would sound like if it was recorded by a Punk rock band, or a Swing Jazz band! We now have 7 Music video versions of the song and would like to share these with Primary School students as a fun way to learn about styles, rhythm, culture, instruments and just get the conversation going about music! School visits by our musicians (limited availability) or simply download all the content and teachers can use the material themselves! Find out More
