To celebrate the launch of Engineers Week 2025, running from 1 – 7 March, Intel Ireland and Engineers Ireland visited aspiring engineers at Scoil Mhuire National School in Leixlip.
This marks the sixth year of Intel Ireland’s sponsorship of the Engineers Ireland STEPS programme. As part of Engineers Week, Intel Ireland employees are visiting local schools to host engineering challenges and share their experiences. 35 volunteers will visit 20 schools in Leixlip, Celbridge, Maynooth and Kilcock. In total, over 700 students will take part in the Intel-hosted activities.
“We are proud to once again collaborate with Engineers Ireland to help inspire future engineers through the STEPS Programme,” says Tom Kinch, Engineering Manager at Intel Ireland. “The programme offers an important opportunity for young people to have an interactive experience of the world of STEM, paving the way for the next generation of innovators.”
Over the course of the partnership, Intel Ireland has taken part in STEM outreach activities including judging competitions, organising events, and conducting interactive career talks, all of which showcases the company’s commitment to supporting and growing the next generation of engineers in Ireland.
“Engineers Week is a fantastic opportunity to introduce children to the wonderful world of engineering, demonstrating how engineers are tackling our planet’s most pressing challenges,” says Damien Owens, Director General of Engineers Ireland. “The support of Intel Ireland is vital to share the exciting prospects of a career in engineering and inspire the next generation of problem-solvers.”
The Engineers Ireland STEPS Programme is designed to open up the exciting possibilities that engineering offers to school children who want to make a real difference in the world. Engineers Week 2025 will take place from Saturday, 1 to Friday, 7 March 2025. Engineers Week has been created to introduce primary and secondary school children to the diverse world of engineering.
