Smart Futures is a government-industry programme that provides secondary school students in Ireland with FREE access to role models working in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). It is managed and coordinated by Science Foundation Ireland, in partnership with the Engineers Ireland STEPS programme.
Smart Futures offers FREE career talks to all secondary schools in Ireland to give guidance counsellors, TY coordinators and students the chance to ask practical questions about working in STEM, demonstrating that all kinds of people work in STEM; from designing video games to medical devices, food science to sport and even helping save lives through cancer research and battling climate change.
Teachers, counsellors, TY Coordinators etc. can register via the website and request talks at any time of the year. Talks are typically 40 mins, taking place in your classroom. STEM volunteers can also attend parent-teacher evenings.
Great for inspiring students to think differently about school subjects, life after school and to look beyond stereotypes.
