180 primary schools’ pupils show off their findings at RDS Primary Science Fair

Pupils from 180 primary schools will show off their findings as an expanded event for younger budding scientists takes place in the coming weeks.

While older students vie for honours at the Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition from January 7 to 9, 120 schools will be represented at the parallel RDS Primary Science Fair.

However, this year for the first time, a second event for primary schools will be held in Limerick to cater for the huge demand. Among them will be Orla Uí Mhurchú’s class from Gaelscoil de hÍde in Fermoy, one of 19 schools from Co Cork to attend at Mary Immaculate College on January 15 and 16.
