The B!G Idea 2023 – Student Projects
Our 2023 students tell us a little bit about their projects, inspirations and, of course, their B!G Ideas!
With 4000 students, from 22 counties, across both Ireland and Northern Ireland, we had our widest range of creative geniuses this year, and, naturally some truly mind-blowing and innovative ideas.
But don’t just take our word for it – just listen to some of their project concepts!

Lucy Fitzgerald, MS&T Shift Engineer from MSD Ireland, tells us about her experience of Mentoring on The B!G Idea in 2023.
“They all had such a unique take and such unique concepts! It was really great to see that variety amongst the students.”
Lucy is one of our favourites! She has contributed to both our 2022 Winners Accelerator at The Dock with MSD, as well as the programme where she did an interview speaking on Mindset for our 2022 students. You’re AMAZING Lucy!
