Students showcased their science projects solving real world problems and competed for a variety of prizes including the chance to represent Northern Ireland at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the USA in 2023.

The event was organised by Sentinus, an educational charity working with more than 60,000 young people from schools and colleges across Northern Ireland each year delivering programmes that promote engagement in STEM and support the development of scientific and technological skills.

On the day, exhibitions of project work post-primary and further education students were displayed and judged by industry experts who volunteer their time as part of a commitment to progress the STEM agenda for Northern Ireland.
