Is your little one chatty and confident? Curious kids wanted for new TV show

Many of our children will perform jobs that have not even been invented yet.

STEM education – the teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering and mathematics – has never been more important.

But recent research revealed that children as young as ten are making decisions about their future careers without ever having been exposed to STEM subjects.

A new RTÉjr science show for the under-8s will introduce young children to science in a fun and entertaining way.

Do you have a chatty, confident child with a curious mind who is always asking how or why the world works around them? If so, listen up!
