Funguschain participates in Science and Technology in Action (STA), an Irish initiative designed to support the teaching and learning of science and related subjects. Each annual edition of STA contains a set of lessons that are industry led to be used by all teachers in second level schools. These lessons are available on a website and can be downloaded in a pdf format along with their supporting materials.

This year Funguschain project and Monaghan Mushrooms have collaborated with this initiative that will reach Irish students explaining to them what bioeconomy refers to.

A hard copy is usually sent out for free to all second level schools each school year. This initiative can be downloaded from this website: http://sta.ie/lesson/what-is-the-bioeconomy
