Scientists at Science Foundation Ireland’s seven Research Centres around the country are planning to Celebrate the Power of Science during Science Week. There will be something for all ages, from robotics to photonics, from crystals to disgusting digestion, from nanotechnology to big data, from global warming to smashing science movies!
The Celebrate Science Festival which will run in conjunction with Science Week Ireland from November 9th to 15th, is organised by the education and public engagement staff in SFI’s Research Centres in Cork, Limerick, Galway and Dublin and is funded through SFI Discover’s Education & Public Engagement programme .
The aim of the Celebrate Science festival is to promote the relevance of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) in our everyday lives and to demonstrate their importance to the future development of Irish society and to the economy.
Throughout Science Week (Nov 9th to 15th) there will be open days, events and competitions that appeal to adults and schools with a series of lectures, primary school visits, secondary school science workshops and more.
The Cork Family Open Day will kick-off Celebrate Science week on Sunday November 9th in the UCC Western Gateway building with over 30 different workshops and displays for adults and children. Children and adults can choose from Lego Robotics, Photonics, Disgusting Digestion, Maths and other workshops. There will be dancing robots, electric cars and raspberry pis. For the adults there will be tours of the UCC Brewery & Bakery and the world-renowned FLAME lab where our future doctors learn about the human body. And lots, lots more. An Open Evening of IPIC@Tyndall will take place from 7-9pm on Wednesday 12th November.
Limerick Family Science Day will take place on Saturday 15th November beginning early in the day with science buskers at the Milk Market and followed by a full programme of family science events at the Hunt Museum and finishing with a PubScience event at Locke’s Bar.
Smashing Science Films will take place in Dublin’s CHQ building at the IFSC in Dockands from Thursday 13-Saturday 15th November. The films will include Particle Fever, Moneyball and The Man in the White Suit and will follow science research demonstrations each day. Additional films and teacher resources will also be available.
All of the information on Celebrate Science week can be seen on our website www.celebratescience.eu. Many of the events need to be booked, so don’t delay!
