Creative Technology Week 2025
A nationally recognised initiative set up by Kina to celebrate young people across the country and their achievements in Creative Technology. Creative Technology Week will take place from 7th – 12th April 2025.

We will host our two flagship youth events:
Tech Féile on Friday 11th April
Creative Tech Fest on Saturday 12th April

In a new and exciting venue:
Explorium – Ireland’s National Sports and Science Centre, Sandyford, Dublin 18

All tickets and transport will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
“Getting involved in Kinia and Creative TechFest has been a highlight of my work over the last year. Creative TechFest allowed the young people to set themselves goals, work as a team, develop a wide range of new skills and turn ideas into reality. The event itself was a great way for the young people to receive recognition for all their hard work and to motivate them to continue on their STEAM journey.”
– Liam Devanney, Project Worker, Include Youth Services

The Kinia Approach
The Kinia approach is strongly grounded in the belief that learning happens everywhere – in formal and non-formal learning environments.
We have a national, bi-lingual (English and Irish) reach across Ireland and, with the support of our partners we have provided training, support and professional development to over 20,000 teachers and youth workers over the last three years.
The Kinia non-profit ethos prioritises educators who work in DEIS schools, School Completion Programme, Rural and Gaeltacht areas, TUSLA and youth work services to reach disadvantaged and marginalised young people.
