Physics Buskers

Are you a science enthusiast? Would you like to bring science to the streets, parks and fields of Ireland? Come and join our team of Physics Buskers, a merry group of science teachers and scientists, whose mission it is to increase public engagement in science.

Who are we? Physics Busking was established in Ireland in 2005, through a collaboration between the Institute of Physics in Ireland and CASTeL at Dublin City University, with the aim of promoting science and increasing public engagement in science.  An extended lineup of events is scheduled over the coming year and includes performances during National Science Week, Electric Picnic, Festival of Curiosity, Bloom, Body & Soul, National Ploughing Champions as well as festivals of science in Mallow and Galway.  Participation and engagement at all of these events has been possible through funding received from SFI’s Discover Programme, which seeks to promote the awareness and engagement of the Irish public with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
 

Getting involved!  To join our team, please register here and avail of a FREE 2 hour workshop to develop your science communication and demonstration skills, in preparation for this year’s line-up.  Places are open to science teachers, researchers and other science enthusiasts.
 

Date: Monday, 3rd November, 2014

Time: 17:00h – 19:30h (Registration & Refreshments at 17:00h, workshop to begin at 17:30h)

Where: Room NG25, School of Physical Sciences Building, DCU.

About the workshop:  In this workshop, you will get a chance to meet some of our more experienced buskers and see them in action, as they show you some of their favourite science demonstrations. Then, it will be over to you! With props and support, you will get the chance to develop your individual style for demonstrating science.

If you would like further information on Physics Busking, or contact Eilish on 01-7005862 or Paul on 087 2719349.

We look forward to you joining our Physics Busking jamboree!
