North West STEM Fest is THE creative experience for teens in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths this summer.
It's a 5 day celebration of creativity in STEM, designed to inspire teenagers to see themselves as innovators, problem-solvers, and creators.
The festival will emphasise exploration, experimentation, and collaboration, particularly for young people who may not traditionally see STEM as accessible or relevant.
Taking place in Ballinamore, Co Leitrim, this July, the event aims to engage teens and pre-teens (5th class to 3rd Year) in deeply engaging activities while also allowing time for them to mingle and establish lasting friendships.
It's aimed primarily at those entering secondary school in September as the perfect opportunity to get to know future classmates in an environment less formal than a school setting.
