Our Founder Tracey-Jane Cassidy Wins STEM Role Model of the Year 2025

We’re thrilled to announce that our founder and CEO, Tracey-Jane Cassidy MA MSc, has been named WINNER of the STEM Role Model of the Year 2025 by SheCanCode! Our Founder Tracey-Jane Cassidy Wins STEM Role Model of the Year 2025

This prestigious award by SheCanCode is a powerful recognition of Tracey-Jane Cassidy’s unwavering commitment to inspiring the next generation through hands-on STEM education. For over a decade, she has championed child-led learning, making science fun, accessible, and engaging through our immersive programmes — from science parties and after-school clubs to dynamic workshops, large-scale shows, and school holiday camps.

Under Tracey-Jane’s leadership, Junior Einsteins Science Club® has grown from a kitchen-table idea into a thriving international franchise network spanning Ireland, the UK, and Canada — with further global expansion underway. Her dedication to using real scientific equipment, delivering high-energy experiments, and creating screen-free, hands-on learning experiences has redefined STEM enrichment for children.

This award reflects Tracey-Jane’s deep belief that when children experience science for themselves, they build confidence, spark curiosity, and develop critical thinking skills. Tracey Jane Cassidy is a true role model — not only as a STEM educator of the year 2025 and entrepreneur, but also as a mentor and advocate for women in science and business.

We are incredibly proud to see her hard work and visionary leadership recognised by SheCanCode, a platform celebrating those making a real difference in tech and STEM.

Tracey-Jane’s achievement is a celebration of everything we stand for at Junior Einsteins Science Club® — bringing science to life, nurturing young minds, and championing inclusion and excellence in STEM education.

Congratulations, Tracey-Jane, from your entire Junior Einsteins community!
