Tracey-Jane Cassidy MA MSc Celebrating Double Recognition at the Business Post Women in STEM Awards 2025
Tracey Jane was deeply honoured to be shortlisted for two categories at the Business Post Women in STEM Summit & Awards 2025 – Science and STEM Mentor of the Year. To be recognised alongside Ireland’s most inspiring scientists, educators, and innovators is both humbling and energising.Celebrating Double Recognition at the Business Post Women in STEM Awards 2025
The STEM Mentor of the Year shortlist holds special meaning for me. Mentorship is at the heart of everything I do, from guiding new Junior Einsteins franchise owners and licience holders, international schools to helping teachers and young women and girls step into STEM leadership roles with confidence. I’ve been lucky to have incredible mentors throughout my own career, and I take real joy in paying that forward.
The Science category nomination celebrates the innovative educational work that underpins our programmes. Science isn’t a subject to be memorised, it’s an adventure to be lived. Every slime made, rocket launched, or circuit built reminds me that education can and should be thrilling.

In 2024, Tracey-Jane Cassidy MA MSc, Founder of Junior Einsteins Science Club®, had the pleasure of being a keynote speaker for Tekna, The Norwegian Society of Graduate Technical and Scientific Professionals, at their annual conference in Dublin.
Tekna is the home of 115,000 natural scientists, technologists, and students. We believe in creating a work environment that’s safe, fosters learning, and empowers individuals with the right skills. Every day we’re working to make this vision a reality.
Just to add to the excitement, scientists from Tekna’s Oslo board have asked to visit us to learn more about how we inspire children to get hands on with STEM, and how we build genuine curiosity and confidence through real experiments, not passive learning.
“One of our focus areas in 2024 is the recruitment of children to STEM, and this is why we want to learn more about your work with inspiring kids to STEM to inspire our own work”– Ingrid E. Skistad , Tekna Norway
We love seeing our work recognised by scientists and STEM leaders internationally, and we are proud to share what we have learned about getting children excited about science through high energy, practical, hands on experiences.
