Engineers Week has been created to introduce primary and secondary school children to the diverse world of engineering. 

We do this by providing practical resources for teachers, such as hands-on activities, a classroom celebration pack and on-demand virtual engineering shows. We encourage engineering organisations to collaborate with their local schools; they can choose from a menu of activities to interact with the students.

In our experience, this combination of professional expertise and learning-by-doing inspires children to open their eyes to how engineering is part of everyday life.

Anyone who wishes to promote the importance of engineering to primary and secondary school children can take part. This includes engineers, organisations, colleges, libraries, families, teachers, STEM professionals, science communicators, and local authorities.

Seachtain na n-innealtóirí - Gaeilge

Chuir STEPS liosta de ghníomhaíochtaí le chéile do spriocluchtanna i mbunscoileanna agus seans ann gur mhaith leat iad a chur chun feidhme. Má tá gníomhaíocht innealtóireachta eile ar intinn agat, tá sin go hiontach! Ná bíodh drogall ort dul ar aghaidh le do ghníomhaíocht féin.

Is féidir leat an ghníomhaíocht chéanna a chur chun feidhme gach bliain, agus níl aon oibleagáid ort ó STEPS chun smaoineamh ar rud nua gach bliain.
