The MIT Club of Ireland
is small by alumni associations elsewhere in the world we are
very active.
One of our major activities
is the presentation of a Science Medal to the best science paper
at junior certificate level (equivalent of high school). This
is very successful.
We have been working
with Lord Rosse at Birr Scientific Centre, for the last 3 years,
in making this event an enriching experience. Birr Caslte contains
the largest Victorian refracting telescope. Clicking on the link
below you will find more detailed inofrmation on the medal and
the winners.
We are pleased to announce
new sponsership arragements with the Bank of Ireland and Intel.
The Bank of Ireland have undertaken the sponsorship of the medal
and event while Intel have undertaken a book sponsorship for
the student and his/her teacher.
The Irish Science Teachers
Association have also been generous in preseneting a prize to
the medal winner's science teacher.
