At StemWizz, we love that moment when a young person flicks a switch, watches their creation come to life and says, “I made that!”
Based in Ballyheigue, North Kerry, we’re an Irish STEM business helping young people imagine, build, learn and achieve through fun, hands-on projects and workshops.
Eight years in and still going strong, we’re as excited as ever to see what young people will create next.
From a first electrical circuit to a moving robot, we turn science, technology, engineering and maths into something young people can hold, explore and feel proud of.
We’re a team of mums and dads, bringing previous experience in youth work and relevant qualifications alongside the everyday experience of being parents.
We know the excitement of finding something that really captures a young person’s imagination — and the challenge of keeping them interested beyond the first five minutes! As parents, we understand what young people and teenagers love, and what they need: encouragement, a chance to explore, room to make mistakes and something they can proudly call their own.
That understanding shapes what we do. We want our projects to be fun to build, rewarding to finish and a reason to say, “What can I try next?”
How does a motor make a car move? What makes a light switch on? Can I build it myself?
Our projects give curious minds the chance to find out. Young people assemble parts, connect circuits, test ideas and work through challenges, discovering that getting something wrong is often the first step towards getting it right.
Along the way, they practise problem-solving, creativity, patience and teamwork. And when their project finally works? That smile says it all.
StemWizz brings hands-on learning to schools, youth initiatives, libraries, organisations, corporate family days, events and festivals.
Our project kits also bring the fun home, giving families a chance to put the screens aside and make something together. Whether it’s a grandparent helping with a first build or a teenager tackling a more challenging project, there’s room for everyone at the table.
Our favourite approach is simple: build it, test it, take it home.
Some young people love sport. Others would happily spend an afternoon figuring out how a motor works, building a wooden house or bringing a robot to life.
We celebrate that curiosity.
With projects suited to different ages, interests and abilities, we aim to make STEM welcoming and achievable. You don’t need to arrive with all the answers — just a willingness to have a go.
Our kits are a wee gateway into new interests, future choices and plans that might not have crossed a young person’s mind before. Building a simple circuit today could spark an interest in engineering, design, technology or a practical trade tomorrow.
There’s no pressure to choose a career or have it all figured out. Sometimes it starts with discovering, “I’m good at this,” or, “I’d love to learn more.” We’re here to help make those first discoveries possible.
Over the past eight years, StemWizz has worked with more than 1,000 schools, alongside youth initiatives, community organisations and industry partners.
We’re proud to have won STEM in Industry Company of the Year at the STEM South West Awards 2025 and to have had our kits featured on the RTÉ Late Late Toy Show.
But the moments that matter most still happen around the workshop table: a young person finding their confidence, helping a friend or proudly showing off something they built themselves.
We believe a lack of budget should never be the end of a good idea.
If your school or organisation is struggling to fund STEM activities, get in touch. We’ll explore what support may be available, including refurbished kits where possible.
We also help businesses turn their community ambitions into practical STEM experiences, from employee volunteering and family days to supporting projects for local young people.
Planning a workshop, choosing projects for your group or looking for a gift with a little more imagination? We’re here to help.
