On this page, you will find information on a number of the University's mathematics outreach initiatives.
10th October – 18th October 2026
Workshops
In collaboration with TU Dublin Access and Outreach, the School will co-host a five-day programme of workshops for junior and senior cycle secondary school students.
The workshops will be based on the Maths in the Wild materials, which explore how mathematics can be used to understand and explain the world around us. Through hands-on activities and real-world examples, students will discover how mathematics appears in nature, technology, art, and everyday life.
About Maths Week
Maths Week is an annual celebration of mathematics that aims to promote positive attitudes towards the subject and highlight the beauty, power, and relevance of the mathematical sciences. Since its establishment in 2005, Maths Week has grown into one of the largest mathematics festivals in the world, involving more than 50 partner organisations and engaging hundreds of thousands of participants each year.
TU Dublin has been a long-standing supporter and organiser of Maths Week events. The festival takes place each October and coincides with the anniversary of William Rowan Hamilton's discovery of quaternions, one of Ireland's most significant mathematical achievements.
We look forward to welcoming students, educators, and members of the public to our Maths Week 2026 events.
TU Dublin has over the last decade developed strong links with teachers and students of mathematics in second level schools in the South Dublin region. In particular, some of the materials and initiatives regarding mathematics, using software to deepen mathematics learning and the application of mathematics in the world, that have been developed in TUDublin, are gathered here on this page and are available for second level teachers and students to use. They are grouped under some simple headings, please click the links under each heading to access the materials.

The TU Dublin PATH 3 project brings together the various campuses of TU Dublin, along with community partners, to collaborate on delivering strategies to increase access to higher education for under-represented groups.
The programme of activities focuses on engagement outreach activities with several key target groups who are under-represented, including students who are socio-economically disadvantaged, Irish Travelers, one-parent families, young people in care, people with disabilities, minority ethnic groups/programme refugees and first-time mature students. TU Dublin will form effective partnerships with education & community groups, such as local DEIS schools, statutory education providers, community, and voluntary groups.
In October 2021, Dr Aisling McGlinchey joined TU Dublin as a Postdoctoral Mathematics Engagement Coordinator. Aisling coordinates the Mathematics engagement activities associated with PATH 3 and has thus far organised a number of engagement activities, such as junior cycle and transition year workshops linked to the relevant curriculums, Mathsweek activities with local primary schools and Easter Leaving Certificate revision workshops.
Other planned activities associated with PATH 3 are an extension of the HeadStart initiative, which provides targeted support for preparation and transition to Higher Education, and the development of a MathsEyes trail on the TU Dublin campus, aimed at raising mathematical awareness and establishing links between the university and local communities.
