At The Institute of Education, we have always championed our female students in breaking down traditional barriers in the Irish education system to study STEM subjects and pursue careers in STEM. We are delighted that our students were selected this year to meet with Taoiseach Simon Harris at the latest I Wish community event. I Wish is a community that is committed to showcasing the power of STEM to young girls through interactive workshops and activities. We are proud to see our 4th year students getting involved and learning about the world of STEM! Images: Naoise Culhane
