A short teaser of what you’re missing if you haven’t seen The B!G showcase yet!
The B!G Showcase happens every year to show off all the hard work our students put in to come up with their incredible B!G Ideas! We have some fun, share some knowledge and, of course, crown the top B!G Idea of the year!
Be sure to check out our Online Exhibition to see all our student’s projects.
It’s that wonderful time where our standout student teams get to meet their Mentors and build on their B!G Ideas! This event was hosted by our amazing Partners Autodesk in Dublin.
With support from our Partners RIAI, MSD, Netwatch, Local Enterprise Office Carlow, Rethink Ireland, Britvic, BaxterStorey, ESB, and Siol Foundation
Our 2023 Challenge topics as chosen by our students. This year, the topics chosen were:
Climate Change
Displaced People
Hidden Poverty
Diversity & Inclusion
Mental Health
These Challenges align directly with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call to action for all countries, to build a better world by 2030.
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!
