Student Slingshot Academy is a initiative that aims to change the way secondary school students think about their future education and career prospects. It was founded by the fantastic Patrick Guiney and his great team.

Slingshot Academy gives transition year pupils the chance to meet with and learn from those studying at third level — giving them insights into specialist areas such as medicine, law, journalism, finance, language, and art.
