The centre will offer STEM and AI activities for primary and post-primary pupils. Its programme includes skills linked to digital infrastructure, such as electrical engineering, physical computing and cloud operations.

Microsoft says the hub was developed using €1 million from a €4 million Irish skills fund it set aside in March 2025. The participation figure is a forward-looking expectation, not a count of students already served.
