About Us
" I’ve always wondered why every school has football teams, but so few have teams for technology. We give students jerseys, pitches, coaches, leagues, and competitions to become athletes — so why not give them the same opportunity to become builders? Dublin Tech Circuit is my attempt to start changing that: to make tech something students don’t just study, but something they train for, compete in, and build together. " It's impact so far is the validation that we, young people, have the power bring change.

Our Story
The initiative was born when a group of post-secondary school students—BT (now Stripe) Young Scientist winners, SciFest alumni, and passionate tech enthusiasts—came together around a shared question: Why should only sports teams get to represent their schools? While inter-school sports competitions drive pride and performance, there was no similar platform for students whose talents lie in robotics, programming, cybersecurity, digital art, or engineering. That insight sparked the creation of Dublin Tech Circuit (DTC)—a nationwide, student-powered movement where schools can form their own tech teams, just like they do for football. These teams compete year-round in challenges across multiple disciplines, from robotics and AI to creative digital media.
