Engineers Ireland Week. DCU Lego Education Innovation Studio (LEIS)

The DCU Lego Education Innovation Studio (LEIS) hosted an exciting hands-on STEM workshop for 40 primary school teachers during . Initially we planned on working with 20 teachers but the demand for places was so great we had to double the number of places and start a waiting list as well.  Teachers travelled from all over Leinster to participate in this fun-filled 2-hour workshop from 6pm to 8pm. These teachers came from across the full range of the primary sector (Infants to Sixth) including many resource and learning support teachers as well as some who also engage in after STEM related school clubs. 

Check out the photos, videos and comments on #DCULEIS which captures the flavour and engagement on the evening.

Such was the intensity of engagement that nobody could believe the 2 hours had elapsed, remarking that they could happily have stayed on for another 2 hours at least !!

We are planning to host more workshops in the near future so keep an eye on Twitter and the events section here.

This event was featured in the latest edition of the Engineers Ireland publication which is circulated to their 23,000 members.
