Members of West Limerick Foróige Club who won an award for their brilliant video production audio, and animation project, brought to life through podcast, music and design
Over 600 of Ireland’s future engineering and digital change-makers gathered at The Foundry in Google’s EMEA HQ in Dublin recently to attend two key events as part of Kinia’s Creative Technology Week – Tech Féile and Creative Tech Fest.
The events mark a now annual celebration of creative technology in Ireland, for young people and those working in schools and youth organisations.
Kinia is an education focused non-profit social enterprise, with a mission to empower educators to equip young people with the future-focused skills they need to unlock their potential.
With ambitious targets to upskill 2,000 educators and lift barriers to learning opportunities for over 11,000 young people in 2024, Kinia continues to work within the Irish education sector.
Kinia’s Creative Technology Week showcases creative technology projects that young people throughout Ireland have been working on all year, in the areas of STEAM, Digital Media, and Computer Science.
The Kinia Creative Technology Award Ceremony celebrating excellence in a range of digital and STEAM projects saw schools and youth groups scoop awards for their incredible creativity in engineering, digital and technology projects – such as West Limerick Foróige Club who won an award for their brilliant video production audio, and animation project, brought to life through podcast, music and design. Supported by the Local Creative Youth Partnership, four podcast episodes have been produced and will be released soon.
Speaking at the event, Marianne Checkley, CEO of Kinia said: “We’re delighted with the response to this year’s Creative Technology Week! It’s a wonderful showcase event for the educators and young people who are part of the Kinia network. During the year we work with educators every week to make sure they are kept up to date with the skills they need to equip young people with future-focused skills.
“We want all young people to have a fair shot at fulfilling their potential so we work hard to open access to the learning opportunities that many young people are missing out on. We’re so proud to see the talent on display at this year’s awards from all across the country.”
