What is Citizen Science?
Citizen Science is real science done by everyday people like you!
Whether you’re helping scientists monitor local air quality or sharing pictures from your garden to help track plant and species populations, there are resources to help you engage in your interests, from Astronomy to Zoology!
Education and Public Engagement
The Education and Public Engagement remit within Insight is very broad and ranges from communication between the internal and external Insight environment, public relations and marketing activities, recruitment of postgraduate students, the provision of educational seminars to Insight researchers, and outreaching to industry in the form of industry placements for Insight postgraduate students. Therefore, education and public engagement activities within Insight are directed both inwards and outwards.
The overall educational & public engagement mission of Insight is to inspire, excite and motivate an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics(STEM) in people of all ages and to help lay the foundations for a new generation of scientists, technologists and innovators. As well as this, the Insight Education and Public Engagement programme assists in raising the profile of scientific research within Ireland.

Outreach
Designing projects to enthuse and to teach young people on how Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics can change the world for the better is a key objective of Insight.
The centre operates an extensive Outreach programme for primary and post-post primary schools across Ireland involving computer coding courses, local heritage digital archiving activities, mobile apps workshops and inter-school science debates. Personnel from the institute also give talks to young people on such topics as the importance of innovation, Internet Safety and Cyberbullying Awareness, and on the exciting career opportunities being presented in our ever-changing world.
