Tech Week is Ireland’s nationwide festival of technology aimed at students, parents and the public. This week is made up of a range of classroom and community activities taking place across Ireland – in libraries, schools, community centres, and many other locations. These activities give students a chance to develop their interest in technology subjects, examine potential career prospects, learn new skills, be creative and, most importantly, have a lot of fun.

Add your Tech Week Event

Celebrate Ireland’s festival of technology by organising an activity or event in your school, organisation or community, you can quickly and easily add your event to the site to let people know about it.

Whether it’s a 30-minute classroom session inspired by our activity sheets, an hour-long Q&A with a guest speaker, a half-day group outing or an open day at your organisation, tell the team about it – and you will get a free goodie pack to help!
