Oide Creativity

These workshops have been developed jointly by Geological Survey Ireland and iCRAG in partnership with Oide Creativity (Formally JCT STE(A)M). They are endorsed by Oide or JCT STE(A)M and initially ran as a workshop for a CPD day.

The workshops are free to use and have been designed so that teachers can use the material themselves in the classroom. Please contact Siobhán Power, Siobhan.Power[at]gsi.ie, for any further information relating to these.
