The STEPS Young Engineers Award is a project-style competition aimed at 3rd and 4th class primary school students in the Republic of Ireland. An optional, but important and much-loved, part of the students’ engineering journey is for the teams to present their projects. This is where you come in!
Volunteer training sessions are taking place this coming week, with space left in sessions from Tuesday on. The STEPS Young Engineers Award 2022 is looking for Volunteer Engineers to act as role models by taking part in class visits.

The STEPS Volunteer Engineer Programme is a nationwide community of engineers who want to inspire young people as an engineering role model.
Volunteer Engineers visit a class taking part in the STEPS Young Engineers Award competition to listen to the student’s engineering project presentations and to tell the class about their lives as an engineer.
Volunteering is a great way to give back. Meeting an engineering role model, and getting encouraging feedback, is one of the most impactful ways for young people to gain confidence and make more informed choices.
If you are looking for a rewarding, meaningful experience as well as a way to gain CPD Credits, you should consider becoming a STEPS Young Engineers Award volunteers.
