Centre for Talented Youth is DCU’s camp for Ireland’s best and brightest

DCU’s Centre for Talented Youth was set up to inspire gifted children across the country. Our 17 year old "The way I see it" columnist Ellie Menton filled us in on what she gets out of Ireland’s real life "nerdcamp".

Where do I begin?” is the classic way to start writing about the CTYI. This is probably due to how unexplainably difficult it is to try and describe such a wonderful and complex place.

CTYI is in the simplest, most mundane terms, a three week long, academic summer camp, which runs over two sessions in Dublin City University. CTYI stands for the “Centre for Talented Youth, Ireland”, but most students refer to it as nerdcamp. Or home.
