Camara Education Ireland manage and develop the TechSpace Programme Nationally, empowering youth organisations and schools to deliver creative technology projects with young people.
Camara Education Ireland is a non-profit social enterprise with a vision of an Ireland where all young people have the skills to realise their potential and confidently create their future.
TechSpace is a national movement that provides opportunities for young people to be creative using technology.
It aims to become Ireland’s leading creative technology network for educators to train and upskill in digital Creativity and STEAM.
Young People are living in a digital age and the TechSpace Network exists to enable them to become creators of technology, not just consumers.
Providing opportunities for people to engage in Digital Creativity and STEAM activities will allow them to create and make with purpose, impacting lives and inspiring the future.
We design and deliver training, activities, resources and opportunities through English and Irish for youth workers, teachers and volunteers.
The programme content such as film-making, animation, soldering, robotics, electronics, mobile journalism, audio production, coding, graphic design, 3D printing, and more helps to develop 21st-century skills such as creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication.
TechSpace was established in 2012 to have a major impact on education for youth development in Ireland.
Members of the TechSpace network are educators and youth work partners that have committed to enhancing the continuous professional development of education provision for Digital Creativity and STEAM (Science, Tecnology, Engineering, Arts and Maths).
