Junior Einstein Science Club

JAMES MURTAGH, IRELAND

CO. WESTMEATH FRANCHISEE

Having worked in the United Arab Emirates as a Mathematics & Science teacher, I quickly realised that there were amazing opportunities within STEM education in Ireland. I returned to Ireland & joined the Junior Einsteins Science Club team at its headquarters, working as a Senior Activity Coordinator. Since then, I have experienced the impact that our work has had & continues to have on so many of our “Junior Einsteins” here in Ireland. That initial spark of interest in science in the classroom among our future engineers and scientists is amazing & truly rewarding as an educator! Whenever there’s an opportunity or challenge coming our way we can adjust and jump right in! As Einstein himself said, “The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

CO. KILDARE FRANCHISEE

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Science and experience as a manager in the health industry. I have broad ranging interests. I was drawn to becoming a Science Instructor with Junior Einsteins Science Club as I wholeheartedly support the company’s aims. Junior Einsteins Science Club offers children an intuitive understanding of scientific concepts in a manner which is most natural to them, i.e through fun!. I chose to become the Junior Einsteins Franchisee for Co. Kildare, because of the robust systems the company employs in all aspects of business operation. I intend to deliver the highest standard of science education experiences to the children.

When I heard there were franchise opportunities available, I jumped at the chance, I’m now delighted to be bringing this service to the Louth area, it’s a fantastic way for children to learn about the world around them through STEAM subjects in a fun & exciting environment. There are so many topics to cover & it’s so interesting both for adults & children alike, the shows & classes are very hands on, the children do the experiments themselves in a safe supervised environment, whilst questioning & learning why things work as they do. The children work as individuals as well as in groups which is also brilliant for their social skills & to top it all off it’s great fun. Since launching in November 2019 we have been overwhelmed with the response & the number of inquiries, it’s been amazing. We’ve had a phenomenal uptake on after school clubs, parties & school shows, we want to continue to deliver first class STEAM clubs, parties & events all over Louth. We are really enjoying the new venture, we’ve had wonderful support from Tracey & the Junior Einsteins team in Dublin. The work is very rewarding & there’s something new every day.
