🎉 Last week, we had the pleasure of celebrating Maths Week Ireland by delivering fun and engaging maths workshops in primary schools. 🎉 It was great to see the enthusiasm and curiosity of the students as they participated in various activities that made maths come to life, including: 🔷 Matching and building shapes 🤔 Fun maths challenges that sparked creative problem-solving 🎲 Probability experiments to understand chances and outcomes Making maths fun at a young age helps build a strong foundation for future learning. It was great to see so many young minds getting excited about numbers, shapes, and patterns! A huge thank you to the teachers and schools for welcoming us, and to the amazing students who made the workshops so much fun! Looking forward to next year’s Maths Week already! #MathsWeekIreland #STEMEducation #PrimarySchoolWorkshops #LoveMaths #MakingMathsFun

🌟 Opportunity for Young People Aged 16-18 🌟 Do you know a student passionate about STEM? The Sentinus Research Academy offers an incredible chance to work on real research projects provided by leading companies and universities, including Queen’s University Belfast, Ulster University, and Trinity College Dublin. Running from late June to the end of July, students will engage in four-week virtual projects (with fieldwork for environmental biology). They will receive data from their project provider and, with support from Sentinus, analyse it to create a project report and poster. Tutorials on data analysis, report writing, and presentation will be provided. On successful completion, students will earn a certificate of achievement, validated by their host organisation. This will be a great addition to their UCAS applications, giving them a competitive edge! 📅 Registrations now open for students in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Encourage your students to take advantage of this unique opportunity to gain real-world experience and enhance their future career prospects.

We had an absolute blast with Motorsport UK at the first Girls on Track event in Northern Ireland! 🏎 Across two days, primary and secondary school girls gained an insight into the world of motor sports in an effort to get more girls involved on and off the track. In the Sentinus workshop, the girls were able to design their own race track, thinking about how different designs can affect the cars. We may have had a few crashes but all the designs were so creative and everyone was up to the challenge! Thank you to W5 for hosting, and we hope to see Motorsport UK back in Northern Ireland soon! #motorsport #motorsportuk #girlsontrack #stemeducation #designandbuild #STEMNI #stemworkshops
