The European Solar Telescope (EST) are running an amazing contest for secondary school students aged 14-16 which is ideal for Transitions Year students in Ireland. The aim is to design an infographic (images, charts, and minimal text to give an easy-to-understand overview of a topic) about the Sun. There are lots of topics to choose from so you can dive into the part you find the most interesting!
Students participate in groups of 3 or 4 with a teacher leading them. The deadline to apply is 30th October 2021 so sign up now!
