DkIT Inspires Transition Year Girls to Explore STEM Careers

The DkIT LOVES STEM team hit the road in early January to empower over 400 Transition Year girls in five schools to explore the dynamic world of STEM. This year, the roadshow introduced a range of innovative, exciting, hands-on STEM activities specifically designed to capture the interest of female students. Participating students competed for STEM roles in a fictional company, aptly named Totally Yours or TY Cosmetics.  

The workshops gave participants the opportunity to explore various STEM careers through the process of creating and selling cosmetic products. Led by Dr. Orla Sherlock and Maryellen Kelledy from the School of Health and Science and the School of Engineering at DkIT, the Totally Yours Cosmetics project provided a unique, interactive, female focused experience.
