STEPS Engineering Your Future Transition Year Programme 2026
Dr Paraic Ryan and Claudia Cashman co-hosted the annual TY Engineering Your Future Programme at UCC this May, in collaboration with Engineers Ireland's STEPS initiative. Over three days, 30 students from 24 schools across Munster took part in a packed programme of hands-on activities — from bridge building and breaking to circuit design, wave tank testing, and liquid nitrogen ice cream making. A huge thanks to Kate Cannon at Engineers Ireland and to Alexander Jager, Francis Judge, and Vivek Verma and Paraic Ryan for running such engaging sessions, with photography by Ralph O'Flaherty and video creation by Quinton Kelly.
