The Irish Centre for Talented Youth, at Dublin City University (DCU), is busy with the ninth annual talent search for 12 to 16-year-old post-primary students with exceptional verbal and/or mathematical reasoning abilities. Students are invited to assess their abilities by taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Those who score particularly well will be invited to take part in a summer academic programme. Everyone taking the test will be invited to the centre's "Discovery Days". A series of public meetings will begin in Dublin on October 5th. Venues to follow include Athlone (October 10th), Cork (October 17th) and Galway (October 25th). Further information from (01) 7045634 or email ctyi@dcu.ie.
