Young Scientists in Kerry Showcase Enthusiasm during MTU Family Science Week

The Family Science Week showcase event at MTU Kerry North Campus over the weekend was a fantastic day of free entertainment for all. In attendance were Aliyah Bruse and Rebekah Landy, who were seen having a great time together in a photo by Domnick Walsh. Along with them was 10-year-old Eoin McMillan, who got into the scientific spirit during the event.

Several other attendees were photographed enjoying themselves at the showcase, including Daithi Nolan, Keely Flaherty, and Lily Walsh who were seen with the Nutty Scientist, Robert Cooke. TY student Muireann Hussey from Mercy Mounthawk in Tralee was captured testing the skin of Daithi Nolan as part of National Science Week. Sisters August Culhane and Sheeryn Culhane were also photographed at the event.

The showcase included a wide variety of activities such as VR experiences, scientific testing, robotics, weather forecasting, electric vehicle display, sustainable food making, zoology, book reading and children’s sustainable recycling workshop among many others. Organizers described it as a wonderful day filled with excitement and curiosity for both children and adults alike.
