Irish Science on Stage Team workshop at ISTA Annual Conference

Four members of the Irish delegation for the European festival in Turku held a workshop at the Annual Conference of the Irish Science Teachers Association (ISTA) at Maynooth University Co. Kildare, on Saturday April 5th 2025.

250 educators travelled from all over Ireland to attend this conference of talks, exhibitions and workshops. The SonS Ireland workshop focussed on exchanging teaching ideas and best practices that the delegates had learnt from the Festival held in Turku, Finland in 2024.

Many of these experiments will feature in a new resource book to be released soon. For this and other booklets and videos, check out https://www.scienceonstage.ie/resources

The workshop was offered by: Sinead Kelly (St. Olivers Community College Drogheda), Alan Casey (Colaiste an Chroi Naofa Cork), Jane Shimizu (Scoil Chaitríona Junior School Galway, SonS EU Ambassador) and Paul Nugent (Institute of Physics, SonS EU board member).
