How Accessible STEM Transform Communities And Industries | Barbara Quinn and Ray Bell | TEDxAthlone

When access to STEM education expands, opportunity expands with it. Barbara Quinn and Ray Bell explore how programmes connecting education, industry and community can inspire the next generation of innovators. Their work shows how opening pathways into STEM can transform not only individual lives, but entire regions. As programme manager for Ericsson’s INFUSE initiative, Barbara Quinn has helped engage tens of thousands of young people in STEM, software engineering, and ICT — with Athlone at the heart of a programme driving long-term opportunity through education. Ray Bell, head of information systems with Offaly County Council, works at the intersection of education, government, and industry to support innovation, talent development, and inclusive growth across the Midlands. Together, they invite us to consider what becomes possible when STEM education is accessible, inclusive, and rooted in community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
