Young people now have more time to share their vision on the future of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) – and have a chance at winning an Apple iPad, Nintendo Wii or Kindle.
This comes as the National Council for Science and Technology (NCST) extends the deadline for its essay competition to April.
The NCST, in collaboration with the Information Society of Barbados (ISB), has invited senior-level secondary school students, ages 14 to 18, to write on the topic: The Impact of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) on Barbados in the year 2020. ??
