STEAM Studio

What is STEAM Studio?

STEAM Studio is an exciting new digital skills initiative from Liberty IT and National Museums NI. Together we've developed a collaborative workspace at the Ulster Museum, which hosts a FREE programme of STEAM workshops connecting coding and technology with the museum experience. 

The programme content was developed and designed by Liberty IT and tested with a range of Key Stage 3 pupils to inspire and upskill students in coding and enable them to design, code and create their own arcade game inspired by the museum’s collections! We use a school and C2K-approved coding platform that will allow students and teachers to continue their work following the visit.

What does STEAM stand for?

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Maths.

Who is the programme for?

The 4-hour interactive workshop has been devised to suit students in Years 8-10, from any secondary school in Northern Ireland. A maximum number of 20 students can participate in each workshop. The workshop runs from 10/10.30am – 2/2.30pm.

How much does it cost?

The programme is FREE for NI schools. To ensure as many schools as possible have the opportunity to take part in this unique workshop, Liberty IT will reimburse the cost of the school's bus hire.

When is it available?

STEAM Studio workshops run on Mondays during term time, beginning on Monday 15th April 2024.
