SciFest@TCPID showcases STEM projects from students with intellectual disabilities

SciFest@TCPID 2024 in association with Abbott Ireland

The Trinity Centre for People with Intellectual Disabilities (TCPID) hosted the annual SciFest@TCPID student exhibition and awards, in association with Abbott Ireland. The event once took place in Regent House and nine TCPID students displayed their projects at the event. TCPID Business Partners, guests from across Trinity, TCPID graduates and students' families and friends joined this very special event.

Now in its sixth year, this year’s SciFest had the largest number of Abbott volunteers ever, with 17 Abbott colleagues supporting the students by working on the projects with them every week.

During the event, the students were presented with awards by SciFest and Abbott Ireland. Congratulations to Dale, Saoirse, Conor, Emma, Shannon, Gillian, Rebecca, Seadna, Darragh.

TCPID Student, Dale O'Neill said: “What can I say about the amazing Abbott team. What an absolute pleasure to work with and to get to know them over the last 5 weeks. Thank you so much for supporting TCPID for so long and for giving people like me a chance because if we didn’t have people like you supporting me, I don’t where I would be in life.”
