Hi, I’m Victoria! I’m from Clondalkin in West Dublin. I graduated from UCD in 2018 with a BAFS degree in Actuarial and Financial Studies. I am in my second year of the PME at DCU. My specialism subjects are maths and economics. 

I cannot recommend this internship to other STEM teachers enough. My internship at Intel, along with the weekly STInt meetings has expanded my knowledge of STEM careers and STEM education. I now feel better equipped to promote STEM careers to my students. Going back to the classroom, I hope to integrate the different STEM disciplines into my lessons using the skills and knowledge that I’ve developed throughout the STInt programme.

While working at Intel, I had the opportunity to work on an Arduino project with the theme of working from home. I improved my coding skills and looked at ways in which I could bring my experience at Intel back into the classroom. I created a series of lesson plans aimed at teaching Transition Year students how to program an Arduino. Thank you to the STInt programme, MPE and Intel for providing me with a summer of invaluable experiences.

Intel is one of the largest semiconductor chip manufacturers globally. Intel has an extensive product portfolio that includes the design and manufacture of CPUs, VPUs (Vision Processing Units) and other devices related to communications and computing.

MPE is an organization within the Design Engineering group, with the charter to deliver comprehensive pre-production test suites and component debug capabilities to enable high-quality, high-volume manufacturing.

Since 1989, Intel has invested $15 billion in Ireland creating the most advanced industrial campus in Europe. Today, alongside advanced manufacturing, Intel in Ireland has come to represent a diversity of activities across the spectrum of Intel business from cutting edge research to design. Intel has 4,900 employees across Ireland.
