Changing how girls identify w/STEM careers through FREE hands-on experience. EU Digital Impact Organisation of the Year™ & Nature Research Awards Finalist
World Summit finalists are pitching at Boeing India headquarters. 15 teams take to the stage, hosted by one of our oldest partners. This is the lifecycle of real world problem solving and a global mentorship model.
We're all about "building brave" here at Saturday PLUS clubs--intentionally strengthening our capacity to solve problems, face challenges, and learn forward (our guiding philosophy).
No better way to network than by breaking bread together (um eating pizza)...girls from different schools and counties get together at our Saturday clubs not only to skill up on cutting edge technologies but also to meet peers outside of their friend groups & build community.
Teen-Turn PLUS Saturday Club is back in action at @ATU_GalwayCity with several filled rooms of participants undertaking computer programming, robotics, and engineering as well as submitting their young scientist competition entries.
This is what we do when we are not in school!
Tis the week of school visits! Our team and alum are hitting the road to connect with secondary school students in multiple counties to kick off our afterschool sessions :)
Project Squad returns next week--encouraging students to revisit core topics repeatedly, with every encounter adding more depth, breadth, and complexity. Our method turns repetition into deliberate practice where skilling pushes past comfort zones and improves goal setting!
Science Club is off to a flying start! 🚀Our budding scientists are beginning to explore ideas, ask questions and develop potential projects for the Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition. We can’t wait to see where their ideas take them over the coming weeks! @TeenTurn
Thanks @ShipItCon for a great experience -- so much learned, so many met. Our alum gained a lot from the day, seeing their futures and the future of work over the course of a great conference.

As the third level offers come in and participants share with us their news, we are showing through alum stories the impact of our "Junior Cert to Job" mission. It's not enough to ignite an interest, there must be continued & consistent contributions to keep that fire burning!
As we head into the new school year, we're catching up and getting in touch with our post-secondary alum, starting with introducing our connections to research and discourse in the EU.
Wrapping up 4 weeks of our summer work experience "Teenturnships" for secondary school students with participants in Galway completing their 2 week placements undertaking the design & build of a cooling box guided by @Trane_Tech engineers.

Loving the vlogging by our alum! Our Learn to Earn program is a 3rd level work experience that's paid as a scholarship to provide both CV building & relevant knowledge economy STEM skilling during summer months, connecting high potential candidates with high potential companies!
Another week of Teenturnship work experiences done! Each participant gains 9 days of in person, hands-on STEM learning in a career environment while guided by working professionals and engaging in relevant project-based activities to skill up and see their futures in new ways.
Since 2016 Teen-Turn has provided in person on site work experiences during the final weeks of summer holidays to introduce girls from communities neighbouring multinational companies throughout Ireland to STEM jobs, empowering them to visualise themselves in career environments.
