STEPS Engineers Week - Communicating with Younger Audiences

STEPS Engineers Week, run by the Engineers Ireland STEPS programme, gives children the opportunity to discover engineering, facilitated by their teachers, parents and local community. STEPS Engineers Week 2023 will take place from Saturday, 4 - Friday, 10 March 2023.

To support organisers, STEPS has teamed up with Mark Langtry, Head of Science and Sport at Explorium, on two short training videos to help you adapt your presentation style to an online visit for children. Please watch this video from STEPS Engineers Week 2021, with tips that are useful for your visit this year.

In this video, Mark shares information about communicating with younger audiences that may help you connect and inspire our future engineers, and create a memorable and enjoyable interaction.

To assist organisers with their outreach efforts, the Engineers Ireland STEPS programme team have created a number of free online resources, including activity packs, documentaries and presentations which are now available to download. A webinar for engineers and engineering organisation who want to learn more about how to Adopt a School, and how to get involved is available to watch now.
