AI Academy NUI Maynooth All Institute (Leaving Cert Applied & Transition Years)
This pilot access programme for girls in West Dublin prepares students for university and also provides college credits should they proceed to science-related studies in NUI Maynooth.
The aim of the programme is to provide access to computer science, AI and mentoring by NUI Maynooth mentors. Participants will gain entry into an international technology competition, Imagine Cup Junior. Promoting social and human capital, students participating will be provided with a university learning experience.
The programme provides a new pathway for students to STEM university programmes that would traditionally not be visible and accessible to participants.
