University of Galway is calling all young and old wannabe engineers to participate in a free family event this weekend. Engineering Our Future: Family Fun Day at University of Galway takes place on Saturday, March 2 from 10am to 4pm in the Alice Perry Engineering Building.
Organised as part of Engineers Week 2024, which celebrates engineering across Ireland, the event will provide plenty of science and engineering shows, film screenings, workshops and hands-on activities that will inspire both the young and the old.
Along with live shows, such as Fun Fantastic Physics, families can attend two film screenings throughout the day – Dream Big: Engineering Our World and John Phillip Holland: Submarine Inventor.
Tickets are free, and they can be booked for some shows in advance through the website. Families are also advised that they can turn up on the day, on a first come, first served, basis.
