DCU partners with IWish to inspire female STEM students

I Wish (Inspiring Women in STEM) is an award-winning initiative to inspire, encourage and motivate secondary school female students to consider careers in STEM.  

The organisation recently opened its annual showcase to 5,000 students over four days in Cork and Dublin.  DCU partnered on the showcase to deliver the new Teach IT zone to support teachers to better advise their students on their opportunities.  The zone was hosted by representatives from DCU’s CASTeL (Ireland’s largest research centre in STEM education) and the Lego Innovation Education Studio.

DCU also hosted a round-table session on the issue and challenges in inspiring, encouraging and motivating secondary school female students to consider careers in STEM.
