About Discover Science & Engineering
Discover Science & Engineering (DSE) is Ireland’s national science promotion programme that aims to increase interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) among students, parents, teachers and members of the public.
DSE’s objectives are to increase the numbers of students studying the physical sciences, promote a positive attitude to careers in STEM and to foster a greater understanding of science and its value to Irish society with country-wide events such as Science Week www.ScienceWeek.ie.
DSE aims to provide good web resources for young people with an interest in a career in science with its website www.MyScienceCareer.ie where there are profiles on historical Irish scientists, in-depth looks at different STEM career types and a list of Irish Science Ambassadors making strides in Irish science today. A useful source of science career-related videos can also be found at www.youtube.com/DSEvideo.
With websites such as www.Science.ie we aim to provide you with the latest in science news and events in Ireland. You can even follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/ScienceWeek where we run regular competitions to win some cool prizes. More competitions can be found at our Bebo profile www.Bebo.com/I_Love_Science.
DSE works in partnership with a wide range of organisations to deliver initiatives that promote STEM, for example, with Engineers Ireland and their STEPS to Engineering initiative and is a key partner of the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition. DSE is also responsible for a number of schools programmes such as Discover Primary Science www.PrimaryScience.ie and www.Greenwave.ie as well as second level supports such as www.ProjectBlogger.ie and www.DiscoverSensors.ie
