3MFuturewise Website Brings Science to Life for Primary Schools Nationwide
More than 5,000 primary school students nationwide are logging on to the excitement and wonder of science with the introduction of the 3M Futurewise website (www.3Mfuturewise.ie). This forms part of the Our Universe five-week science programme for 10-12 year old students.

The new 3MFuturewise module is currently being delivered in almost 520 schools nationwide drawing students’ attention to conserving energy at home and school. Students also carry out a Classroom Energy Audit.
The programme has been welcomed by Discover Science + Engineering and aims to educate students about sustainable development through featuring an interactive virtual town and showing young people that society needs scientists, engineers and new technology to help solve the problems of the future.
The initiative is part of 3M’s wider international campaign to highlight and improve student take-up of STEM subjects. “We hope to engage and motivate students to choose science and maths subjects in secondary school, looking forward to future careers in engineering, technology and science,” said Paul Knowles, General Manager at 3M Ireland.
