RDS Primary Science Fair
Science Ireland performed three shows at this year RDS Primary Science Fair held at the BT Young Scientist Exhibition. This is the first year that the RDS have sponsored the Primary Science Fair. While not part of the main competition, it provides an opportunity for students from 100 primary schools to display their class projects at a major exhibition.
Science Ireland performed shows to over 1,000 students over the three days. The show on Friday was a full house of 750 students. Based on the theme of sound the finale of the show was a performance by Bang the Drum with Irish Aid, who amazed the crowd with their drumming.
