An update on I’m a Scientist

That’s a wrap! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this term’s success. Sadly though, I’m a Scientist Ireland will not be running beyond the end of 2024.

The I’m a… projects started in Ireland in 2012, and it’s been another great year. They’ve frequently been there to support students during Tomorrow’s Engineers Week, Science Week, and Maths Week.

Unfortunately, Science Foundation Ireland will be ending their funding of I’m a Scientist. This means we’re no longer able to offer the activity in 2025.


✨ 2024 round-up

There have been 64 Chats with 39 schools from across Ireland. In these Chats, over 1500 students connected with scientists, engineers, and mathematicians.

We saw excellent connections between the students, scientists, and other STEM professionals. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped students see the real-world relevance of their learning.

Keep an eye out for the full impact report, coming soon!


👋 Keep in touch

Make sure to keep us updated with your details. We’ll let you know as soon as I’m a Scientist is back and you can start booking activities again.

In the meantime, you can stay up to date with us on LinkedIn or BlueSky, while we continue seeking funding to get I’m a Scientist Ireland up and running again.
