National Broadband Ireland has launched a new competition for nearly 700 primary schools across in the Intervention Area of the National Broadband Plan.
The competition aims to look into how students perceive high-speed fibre broadband and what can be done with it.
The competition asks students to simply ‘Imagine the Future’ and create a piece of art responding to that thought.
Entries can be submitted in a variety of forms, such as: a sculpture, a photo, a painting, a song, a short movie or even a dance – making it as accessible as possible for students to participate.
National Broadband Ireland - (Left to Right) Tara Collins - NBI Chief Marketing Officer, Peter Hendrick - NBI Chief Executive Officer, Samantha Ecock – Promethean Territory Manager, IrelandEntries can focus on the following themes:
- Transportation of the future
- School of the future
- Home of the future
- Workplace of the future
- Hospital of the future
- Community of the future
The competition will go through three phases: a school, county and national phase. Winners from each school will progress to the county phase, where a panel of judges selected by NBI will decide who will represent their county at the final national phase and be in with a chance to win an ActivPanel.
A Promethean™ ActivPanel™ is a state of the art interactive flat panel display, and is the top prize that can be won for your school.
