ECubers is an initiative developed by the engineering company, SL Controls, to foster the technical skills required for a career in engineering.

Building the future of engineers in Ireland with LEGO® SL Controls, one of Ireland’s leading Equipment Systems Engineering firms launched a new programme called ‘ECubers™’ at University of Limerick to encourage more students, particularly young women, to study and pursue careers in engineering. The programme aims to help foster the technical skills required for a career in engineering – using all-round favourite our picture shows Ella Bohannon & Isabella Crowley Fifth Class students at Knockanean NS from Ennis Co.
