I’m an Engineer
I’m an Engineer will be running in Ireland during Engineer’s Week this March to show students a slice of real science and engineering. From 29th February – 11th March students all over Ireland will be able to ask questions to, 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.
This March we are running a Coding Zone, and a Space Zone.
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 25th January.

FREE School Visits by local engineers
Every year Engineers Ireland’s STEPS team arranges hundreds of free school visits, linking up volunteer engineers with local schools all over Ireland.
Engineers visit students in their own classroom to talk about careers in ICT and engineering, what it’s like to study at third level, and the day-to-day work of engineers.
The STEPS team makes all the arrangements – the visit can be scheduled to last for one class period, at a time and date that suits the teacher and the students. Visits can be scheduled throughout the academic year. The volunteer engineers come equipped with an engaging presentation suitable for Junior Cycle or Senior Cycle students, and the STEPS team oversees the visit and provides all necessary information and guidance to the volunteer.
Teachers, register for a Smart Futures visit now and we will do our best to match your school with an engineer in your area.
