Thank you for your continued involvement with STEPS Engineers Week!
STEPS encourages you to carry out an activity for multiple years, as you have tried and tested it. If you are comfortable with the activity from a previous year, then carrying it out again for a fresh audience in 2024 is a good idea from a planning perspective.
The target audience of STEPS Engineers Week is children primarily of primary or secondary school age.
The Engineers Ireland marketing team sends press releases to regional and local outlets. The releases contain a small selection of stand-out activities and/or events that are open to the public.
When you register your activity, you will be asked your preference to be considered for inclusion in these releases or not. You will be given the opportunity to detail your activity at this point.
STEPS won’t be providing merchandise (pencils, t-shirts etc.) for STEPS Engineers Week 2024.
As STEPS aligns itself with Engineers Ireland’s Sustainable Development Goals 2020, we are making the move to offer exclusive digital educational resources as a more sustainable alternative to merchandise.
