We weren't supposed
to start this.

Innovation Ireland is a nonprofit community for ambitious young people across Ireland who want to build things. It started with a room we had to ask for.

Our school robotics team got shut down.

So we crossed the road.

We asked the local football club if we could use their clubhouse, brought our projects with us and started meeting every week.

That little group in Headford became Innovation Ireland.

Now we're building communities across the country.

100+ young people and counting

Members building at one of the first Headford sessions — the first few weeks

Sunset over the floodlights and pitch at Moyne Villa, the football club whose clubhouse we started in — Moyne Villa, the club that gave us a room

Young people working around tables covered in sticky notes at FutureHack — yeah, this actually happened.

You don't need to be
“good at tech.”

You just need to
want to make something.

Some people here have been building since they were ten. Some turned up having never written a line of code and spent the first night asking what everyone else was doing. Both are completely normal.

Nobody tests you at the door. You show up, you get shown how things work, and fairly soon you're the one showing somebody else.

everyone is figuring it out
