Hello, science lovers!

It's National Static Electricity Day in the USA today, but why not celebrate right here in Ireland too? 🌍⚡ What a perfect excuse to explore the wonders of static electricity together!

💡 Try this simple experiment:
Grab a 🎈 balloon, rub it against your child's hair (or your own), and watch the magic happen as the balloon sticks to the wall. Bonus: Enjoy your exciting new hairstyle 💇‍♀️⚡

Fun Fact:
Static electricity happens when certain materials rub together, causing electrons to transfer and create an electric charge. In wet winter weather 🌧️ like we have in Ireland, static shocks are less common because moisture in the air helps conduct the charge away before it builds up.

Join our Science Club!
This term, we’ll explore the wonders of electricity, learn to build electric circuits and make our own electronic quiz games. Don’t miss the chance to spark your child's curiosity with hands-on experiments! Check if our science club is in your school and join us there.

Share your electrifying experiments with us in the comments—we’d love to see your pictures and stories! 📸

Happy experimenting!

So, that's a wrap for 2024. We made Astronaut Dinners with over 700 children and talked to them about the space stations and their operation and key events in space history such as the launching of Sputnik and the signing of the Outer Space Treaty. We hope everyone had fun and learnt some more about space.

I was delighted to have an apprentice Astronaut with me today for my workshops in Lucan Library this morning. We made Astronaut dinners with children from 3 different schools including a neurodivergent class from one of the schools. Everyone, including the teachers, was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the No Soak peas and the Mashed Potato were. They thought the peas would make a tasty snack, comparable to crisps or nuts!

Welcome to our returning scientists, our new scientists and our new followers.
Most of our science clubs have now started for the new academic year. We welcomed all our returning scientists, our new scientists and our new followers. This week we were introducing the children to pipettes, density and layering in preparation for our term of Geology lessons.
We are looking forward to a fun term.

We are pleased to present BEAT THE HEAT : with scientifically proven methods - a free escape room for tourists and locals alike! 

BEAT THE HEAT is organized by the 2024 STEAM Summer School cohort. The STEAM Summer School is an intensive science communication program that uses arts to communicate topics in science. The team has constructed an escape in which participants will solve puzzles that incorporate scientific techniques to stay cool and give insider tips from locals of how they BEAT THE HEAT. 

The event will take place at the Valletta Design Cluster on Saturday, July 20th from 4-7 PM. There will be three heats of escape rooms each starting every hour on the hour. You can reserve a FREE ticket on our eventbrite page. Do not be deterred if tickets on eventbrite are sold out, as walk-ins are very welcome
