Cansat

STEM South West is launching a mentorship program to introduce schools to the concept of CanSat, a satellite simulation condensed into a soft drink can's shape and size. Students face the challenge of integrating major satellite subsystems like power, sensors, and communication systems into this compact format, which is then drone-launched to conduct scientific experiments and ensure a safe landing. CanSats offer a unique hands-on experience for students, involving designing, mission selection, finances, supply chain, component integration, testing, launch preparation, data analysis, and public relations. The program provides kits, comprehensive guidance, and support from an expert team led by John Murphy (Regina Mundi Douglas) and Brenda Cooper (Horner Automation)

Linking Life & Success

Connecting Life and Success: A STEM Exploration Program

Our STEM program invites guest speakers from diverse STEM fields to inspire students by revealing the broad spectrum of opportunities within STEM careers and life. Our core mission is to dispel stereotypes, overcome barriers to entering STEM fields, and promote inclusivity, irrespective of socio-economic status, gender, or educational background. By sharing personal journeys from school to their current positions, our speakers illustrate that every path is unique. A STEM qualification opens the door to numerous possibilities in various sectors as students navigate their individual career journeys over time.

Program Structure:

Our sessions are driven by students' interests. Once a presentation date is confirmed, the school's teacher or guidance counsellor receives a student questionnaire guiding session content and speaker selection. This personalized approach ensures that no two talks are the same.

Each panel features three speakers, starting with an introduction by our program coordinator, Paul O’Brien, who provides an overview of STEM opportunities. Then, two STEM professionals discuss their career journeys and educational choices. When possible, speakers tailor their discussions to student interests identified in the pre-event questionnaire. Each panellist speaks for approximately 10-12 minutes, with polls and interactive questions to engage students.

At the end of each session, students have the opportunity to engage in open discussions with the panellists.

Who Can Join: Our program welcomes primary school students and all classes in post-primary education. We also offer the program to parents, helping them become aware of the possibilities, entry routes, and upskilling opportunities for pursuing rewarding careers in STEM.

Engineers Ireland

The Engineer Ireland STEPS program is an initiative in Ireland aimed at promoting interest and engagement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) among young people. "STEPS" stands for "Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Program for Students," and it is managed by Engineers Ireland, the professional body for engineers in Ireland. The program encourages students to explore and pursue careers in STEM fields through various educational and outreach activities. These activities can include hands-on workshops, career talks, mentoring, and other initiatives that connect students with professionals and role models in STEM. The goal of the STEPS program is to inspire and support the next generation of engineers and scientists in Ireland.

Johnson & Johnson has been championing women and giving them the tools, resources and opportunities to succeed at work and at home since our founding more than 130 years ago, when eight of our first 14 employees were women.

Furthering that commitment, in 2015 we launched our WiSTEM2D initiative. WiSTEM2D stands for Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Manufacturing and Design. We believe women can be catalysts for creating healthier people, healthier communities and a healthier world.

As the leading healthcare company, we are taking groundbreaking action that drives positive change for women of all ages in the STEM2D ecosystem around the world. Johnson & Johnson values and harnesses the power of diversity for our company and our customers.

We wake up every day inspired to empower women and girls in the six vital STEM2D fields so they have limitless opportunities to change the trajectory of health for humanity. We support and inspire girls and women in their pursuit of STEM2D studies and careers, no matter where they are located around the world.
