Science week begins with family fun day
By Richie Mccarthy
Galway will once again host the opening event of Science Week Ireland, in conjunction with the Marine Institute, and Galway Atlantaquaria.
A packed programme for Science Week Ireland has been planned with the annual Sunday fun day which takes place at the aquarium on Sunday November 8 from 11pm to 5.30pm.
Make this a family fun day of science and discovery, and meet the scientists, inventors, and creators of yesteryear. Learn about science, the sea, and enjoy a day of madness, mischief, and discovery rolled out by characters such as Einstein, Jacque Cousteau, John Philip Holland, Marconi, and many others, who will tell wild stories about submarines, scuba diving, inventing the radio, and the wonders of maths behind the Rubik cube and your screen saver.
Activities will also include cartoon drawing classes, face painting, story telling, a competition for the best futuristic submarine design, and the chance to meet other fun characters.
Details of the design a submarine competition can be found on www.nationalaquarium.ie or www.marine.ie or hard copies can be picked up from the aquarium.
Special prices of €6 per adult and €4 per child will be available on the day. For more information contact Atlantaquaria on 091 585100.
