For Schools

Welcome to the Festival Programme for Schools – bookings can be placed from Monday 3rd October.

This year’s Festival promises to be as exciting and engaging as ever as we are back with inperson events for schools.   

How can you get involved?

• Book a show/workshop for your school
• Attend the events arranged with Galway Atlantquaria, The City Museum and Brigit’s Garden
• Book a stand at the GSTF Exhibition on Sunday 13th November and allow your students demonstrate their great project work to the public

Primary Schools: There are a range of inperson shows and workshops for primary schools.  Every year the demand is great but we unfortunately cannot get to every school.  We do have a limited number of Sue McGrath Science Kits that will be sent to schools for teachers to do in the classroom with supporting video material from Sue.  

Secondary Schools:  We have a number of workshops for Transition Year Students and the opportunity to participate in our Career Stories series and a talk by Peter Cosgove on ‘The Future of Work’.  To make a booking please complete the booking form below.   

The Career Stories series will continue to run throughout the Festival when we hear from young scientists and engineers that we hope will be really helpful when students are trying to decide on their choices for CAO.  To access the library of existing stories go to our YouTube channel  www.youtube.com/galwayscience 

We will email as more details become available.
