TechSpace is a national network of digital media spaces in youth centres and schools and this network helps young people to create digital and technological material as they engage in activities such as digital film, web design, mobile app development and robotics, among others. Under the direction of trained instructors and mentors, young people can enhance their computer competency, while improving their self-confidence and social skills.
The Irish medium Clár Techspace is being funded under the 20-Year Strategy for the Irish Language 2010-2030. The project aims to impact the lives of young Irish speakers by becoming Ireland's leading creative technology network for outcome focused youth development through the medium of Irish.
The Clár TechSpace team is currently working with schools and youth clubs in the Connacht and Munster regions, as outlined in the table, creating digital media and STEM material. Initial steps will commence this autumn to extend the project to the Ulster and Leinster (excluding Dublin) regions, with the Dublin region to follow later.
