Jigsaw at the Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition 2026

Jigsaw attended the Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition at the RDS last week. The four‑day event brought together some of Ireland’s brightest young minds, and we’re proud to support conversations around youth mental health.

Our team were be on-site throughout the exhibition to meet students, teachers, and visitors. We shared information about Jigsaw’s services and resources, and, more importantly, listend to young people as they discussed mental health.

Organisers report that nearly27 percentof the almost 2,000 projects submitted address mental health, stress, anxiety, depression, sleep, or wellbeing. This significant proportion indicates that students are deeply engaged with these issues and are eager to explore solutions through science and technology.

Mike Mansfield, Director of Communications and Fundraising at Jigsaw, commented:
“The fact that so many projects are centred on health and wellbeing shows that young people are not only thinking about their own mental health but also about how to improve it for others. This aligns perfectly with Jigsaw’s mission to support youth mental health across Ireland. We’re glad to be part of an event that brings together curiosity, creativity, and a genuine care for the future. We would also like to thank Smurfit Westrock for their generous support in helping Jigsaw attend this year’s exhibition.”
