‘A Mathematician Like Me’- A fabulous book for #mathsweek2022 that also promotes #womeninSTEM! Look See What I Can Be! @lookseewhat @shinisomara #inclusion #empowerment #diversity
A Maths Book for Maths Week (1): 'A Mathematician Like Me' by Shini Domara and Nadja Sarell is a most empowering story about two young cousins who set off on a camping trip and soon discover that maths is all around them and that it helps us solve problems creatively. Great book!

We had a great (but exhausting!) time speaking to to 650+ students that came to show their research projects on inspirational #WomenInSTEM! We were blown away by your enthusiasm 🪨🌍🦕 @SchoolofEdUCD @GirlsintoGeo_ie @PDSTPrimarySTEM #LookSeeWhatICanBe @UCD_EDI

A wide variety of fascinating #WomeninSTEM researched by the pupils of @RathanganNS. And take a peak at some of their brilliant constructions created through the design & make process. #stemtastic 😊 #LookSeeWhatICanBe @lookseewhat @SchoolofEdUCD @NCCAie @SSEinspectorate

Spin the wheel to ask a question about a famous female in STEM and the 4th class pupils from St. Clare's Primary School in Cavan have all the answers! @SchoolofEdUCD @lookseewhat @scienceirel @DPSM_Activities @SSEinspectorate #WomeninSTEM #LookSeeWhatICanBe

Delighted to launch our Fís Project again after a two-year break. We have added a special award for diversity/interculturalism as part of our Schools of Belonging programme this year. #LESCbelonging
Crazy to think that I am one of only 65 female woodwork teachers in Ireland. I hope we can encourage more students to look past gender stereotypes when choosing their subjects. Very grateful for all of the encouragement I had in school and college! #WomenInSTEM
Very interesting insights from Wood Technology teachers, Roisin and Jessica, sharing their insights on teaching subjects often associated with male teachers ⬇️ independent.ie/videos/youre-…

Happy Darwin Day- #DarwinDay. Charles Darwin was born 212 years ago today- his 1859 book ‘On the Origin of Species’ provided compelling evidence for evolution, explaining how all of life works. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char…

Hi, I'm Kara Kelley. I am studying hadrosaurus, paleobotany, and the glorious polyglyphandontine. I'm also an artist and hoping to jump into grad school soon! #paleontology #WomenInScience
