Share your ideas and win STEAM Equipment Prizes!

As part of ‘Creating Our Future’ NYCI is giving away STEAM equipment worth €2,000

Through the ‘Creating Our Future’ campaign, the government is calling on the public to help shape its plans for investment in the research that will make Ireland a better place to live, learn and work for all of us in the future.

NYCI wants to make sure the voices of young people are heard in this important campaign. To support this, we are giving away twenty €100 cash prizes for STEAM equipment to use with your youth groups or learners!

To be entered into our prize draw:

• Ask your youth group or learners ‘what should researchers in Ireland explore to create a better future?’. Young people’s ideas can be based on an opportunity or challenge they see for themselves, their communities, Ireland or the world, or their ideas could relate to any topic that they are really curious in or passionate about.
• Record and save responses.
• Complete the short form below.
• Highlight your youth group or learners’ contribution to ‘Creating Our Future’ on social media while tagging NYCI and SFI. Include #CreatingOurFuture #STEAMinYouthWork or #STEAMinYouthreach.

The closing date for entries is 31^st October 2021. We will let you know if you have won a prize by 5^th November 2021.
