We weren't supposed
to start this.

Our school robotics team got shut down.

So we crossed the road.

We asked the local football club in Headford if we could use their clubhouse, brought our projects with us, and started meeting every week. That group became Innovation Ireland.

Find your people.

Nothing happens in one central office in Dublin. Young people run their own communities where they actually live.

Next up · Innovation Galway Club Evening

Galway

Who: Secondary school students
Where: PorterShed
When: Friday 9 October, 3-6pm

Come build something. Bring a project you're already working on, start something completely new, find people to build with, or just come along and see what everyone else is making. There'll be workshops on pitching and demos throughout the evening, and experienced builders around if you need guidance. You don't need loads of experience, a team or even an idea before you arrive.

All events

People here actually
make stuff.

Robots, apps, games, machines that only work if you hold them at the right angle. Some of it is genuinely impressive. Some of it is held together with tape.
