It aims to become Ireland’s leading billingual creative technology network for educators to train and upskill, and support each other through 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.

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 by Camara Education Ireland to have a major impact on education for youth development in Ireland.
