"The kids really loved the hands-on programme, and their interaction with scientists and engineers opens up a whole new world of opportunities for them. It greatly encourages the children and young people to consider STEM careers and to progress to second and third-level education. In our experience, it goes beyond the classroom, with parents, teachers as well as students being enthused. The programme is an investment in the future as it gives each child, regardless of their ability, an equal opportunity to participate, question & offer opinions.
