I’m an Engineer!

Mary Mullaghy January 10, 2017
I’m an Engineer will be take place all during Engineers Week, for two weeks between 6th–17th March, to show students a slice of real science and engineering. Students all over Ireland will be able to ask questions and take part in live text-based chats with real engineers in the FREE online event. Students then vote for their favourite to win €500 to spend on further STEM engagement.
Students will be able to put their questions to engineers in one of three themed zones:
  • Space
  • Health
  • Energy (for Primary Schools)
The online nature of the event helps to give all students a voice, and encourages students to ask the questions they might not be confident asking in front of the whole class. And students see that engineers are normal people, while being introduced the wide range of possibilities in STEM careers; it’s not all spanners and hard hats.
We provide all the resources needed, including suggested lesson plans and adaptations. The event is totally FREE for schools.
For more information, and to apply to take part with your students, visit: imanengineer.ie/teachers before 30th January.
