Cork English College is delighted to announce a new partnership with Designer Minds, one of Ireland’s leading STEAM education providers, to deliver an innovative English + STEAM programme for international students this Summer.
This new collaboration brings together Cork English College’s long-established expertise in English language education with Designer Minds’ hands-on, creative approach to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) learning. The programme is designed to enhance students’ English language skills while engaging them in practical, project-based STEAM activities delivered through English.
Designer Minds is widely recognised for delivering dynamic STEAM camps, clubs and workshops across Ireland, inspiring young learners through interactive experiences such as robotics, coding, engineering challenges, science experiments and creative design projects. Their programmes focus on curiosity, problem-solving, collaboration and creativity, helping students to develop both technical and soft skills in a fun, inclusive environment.
Available in both Cork English College’s residential & host family centres, students enrolled in the English + STEAM programme will benefit from:
• English language learning in real-world, practical contexts
• Hands-on STEAM workshops delivered by experienced Designer Minds educators
• A strong focus on creativity, teamwork and communication
• An engaging learning experience that complements classroom-based English study
Speaking about the new partnership, CEC’s Marketing Director Sonny Kennedy has this to say, “We’re thrilled to have finalised this new partnership with Designer Minds. Donal and the team have brilliant experience in delivering high-quality, engaging workshops to learners of all ages. Over the last number of years, our English plus STEAM option has gone from strength to strength, with a fantastic mix of nationalities, and we’re very confident Summer 2026 will be no different.”
