The Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition is an annual national science and technology competition for secondary school students across Ireland. Each year thousands of students submit original research proposals and roughly 500 projects are selected for display at a four-day public exhibition in Dublin.
Participants present their projects to panels of judges and to the public, gaining experience in communicating scientific work and receiving feedback from experts. The exhibition runs as an in-person event in early January (6-9 January 2027 for the 2027 exhibition) and culminates in an awards ceremony where category prizes and the overall Stripe Young Scientist & Technologist of the Year are announced.
The event showcases a wide range of STEM topics and has a long history of alumni progressing to higher education and research careers. Students who wish to take part must submit projects through the official entry portal.
Registration on the site closes on 25 September, and selected projects are invited to exhibit at the Dublin event.
