November 2^nd 2015 is the 200^th anniversary year of  George Boole’s birthday. If you have ideas or suggestions about how you might like to celebrate the centenary in your school or region please email Ruairí Ó Céilleachair at boole200project@gmail.com
The goal of the Boole2School  Project is: “To grow awareness and prompt curiosity among Irish children and students of the impact of Irish science on the quality of modern life, exemplified by the unique contribution of Boole, with particular emphasis on disciplines of mathematics, computer science and engineering underpinning ICT.”

Cork Education Support Centre on behalf of  ATECI, in conjunction with UCC and with the help of NAPD, IPPN,PDST, IOP and with generous support from EMC are planning to have every school student in the country doing a lesson based on the work of George Boole on that day.

To mark 50th BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition, which will take place in January 2014, An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, Dr Tony Scott and BT’s CEO, Colm O’Neill launched a virtual birthday card which they want as many people as possible to sign. To sign the birthday card go to www.btyoungscientist.com where you will find a link on the home page to leave your message. (Characters are limited to 400)

As part of the launch of the 50^th year of the exhibition, BT Ireland also announced that it will extend its commitment to organising and sponsoring the competition beyond 2014 and until 2016. This additional two-year sponsorship demonstrates continued support and a significant investment by BT into what is now a cornerstone of the Irish educational calendar.

The birthday card is accompanied by a new digital archive created by BT, which displays unique material and iconic moments of the last 49 years of the exhibition. In addition to photographs from throughout the decades, the archive also includes indexed exhibition guides, forming a searchable database of students that competed in the programme. The archive is available at www.btyoungscientist.com/archive and BT is calling on old friends of the exhibition to re-connect on our Facebook page to share their memories.
