One of the country’s biggest and best loved Science Festivals is returning to Cork on 10th November. The Cork Science Festival will run for the week until 17th November. There is something for all ages at the Cork Science Festival with more than 100 events taking place over the week. The majority of the events (95%) over the week are free to attend.
One of the most hotly anticipated events is ‘Baking in Space’, the sell-out show of Science Week 2018, with space explorer, Niamh Shaw and Great British Bake Off finalist, Andrew Smyth landing in Cork on Wednesday November 13th.
On Thursday 14th November there will be a Cocktail Chemistry workshop at Edison Bar and “Developing A Picture of Us” is an open exhibition at Cork City Library, based on research that took place at Cork University Maternity Hospital. The photographs in the exhibition were taken by mothers during their pregnancies and shortly after the birth of their babies, to offer an insight into the world of complicated pregnancies.
The Cork Science Festival features a flagship event, which is free, open to all the family and will provide hours of educational entertainment. ‘Celebrate Science’ takes place at Gateway UCC on Sunday 10th November and provides a great free day out for all the family. At this event there will be over 30 workshops, tours, stands, displays and shows.
Celebrate Science will have activities on three floors of the Western Gateway Building in UCC, with something for everyone, including LEGO Robotics, Photonics, Disgusting Digestion, MathsWorks, Coding, Experiments, large-scale Science Shows and much more.
The Cork Science Festival is supported by Science Foundation Ireland, and is part of Science Week Ireland.
Mervyn Horgan, Cork Science Festival co-ordinator said: “We are so excited to bring this truly magical festival back to Cork this year. Cork Science Festival is a celebration of science events and we invite everyone, young and old to come and experience our program of free public engagement events, open days, science tours, talks, exhibitions, shows, workshops and school events. Cork Science Festival is a main partner of Science Week Ireland, one of the largest STEM engagement events in the Irish science calendar. Our team represents Cork’s best in research, education and industry across science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.”
As well as free open days and school visits to bring STEM into primary and secondary schools across Cork, there is plenty of ‘grown up’ science too with events taking place at Tyndall National Institute, Edision, the Glucksman Gallery, St. Lukes Church, the Rising Sons Brewery, Lifetime Lab, Crawford Art Gallery and many more.
