South-east science festival excites interest in students

AWARD-winning science outreach centre CALMAST has arranged an action-packed south-east science festival, with events planned throughout Waterford and Wexford.

Among the venues for next week’s event will be the Waterford Institute of Technology (the home of CALMAST), Enniscorthy, Dungarvan, and Lismore.

The extended schedule, involving some of the world’s leading science organisations, is designed to spur interest in science among primary and second-level pupils and show them just how relevant it is to our everyday lives, according to CALMAST’s Sheila Donegan.
