Young Social Innovators Skills STEM Workshop
Eureka were chosen as one of six schools in Ireland to be provided with a Skills STEM Workshop sponsored by the ESB. The two hour workshop was presented by Sharon Murphy from Young Social Innovators on Tuesday 3rd May and was attended by Rang Niamh, Transition Year. Students learned a lot of new skills especially in the Scientific and Technological realm which they will use to as innovators for the future. We were one of six schools chosen in the country by YSI for this Workshop.
