Tech Week is Ireland’s nationwide festival of technology aimed at students, parents, and the public.Its objectives are to inspire students to engage actively with STEM subjects, and equip them with the knowledge and experience necessary to make informed choices about their future subjects and career choices. In its fourth year, this national festival of technology will also educate all citizens about the challenges and rewards of our fast-changing technological society.

Tech Week is a multi-faceted initiative comprising national competitions, local events, in-school tech projects, engagement and awareness raising activities.

The Bebras International Challenge introduces computational thinking to students, by allowing them to solve interactive tasks online in a global competition that takes place every November. Participation and interest in the Irish Bebras Challenge, organised by ICS, has grown exponentially in its first three years, from 1,337 to 5,717 students participating in 2017. The grand final of this national competition takes place during Tech Week.

The national Scratch competition also culminates in a grand final during Tech Week. Scratch is a graphical programming language used to teach coding to students in more than 150 countries around the world.

Why sponsor Tech Week?
