STEM is the way forward, say NI Assembly
The Northern Ireland Assembly Committee for Education is calling for more pupils to get involved in STEM subjects in schools
The Northern Ireland Assembly Committee for Education is calling for more pupils to become involved in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects in schools. This follows the excellent performance by local schools that participated in the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition.
The exhibition is an annual event, open to children aged 12-19 from Ireland. Students submit a short research proposal and, if accepted, showcase their project at the exhibition. The 2013 event received 1879 entries, and was held in Dublin from 9-12 January.
