Get ready for 2011’s biggest Discovery

WHAT do making rockets and robots, gaming, 3D, animation, teddy hacking, astronauts — even a portable planetarium and Mega Molecules — have in common? Discovery 2011.

Discovery is Cork’s own science festival. A part of Science Week Ireland, it is now in its 15th year. This year, there will be over 500 events and more than 115,000 participants.

As it is the International Year of Chemistry, the theme for this year’s Science Week is “the chemistry of life”. This was chosen to highlight the importance of chemistry in everyday lives.
