Deis atá ann do scolairí ó rang a sé, lá a chaitheamh le Bean Uí Liaim chun a bheith ina n-eolaí ar feadh an lae. Beidh seans ag gach scolaire turgnamh a dhéanamh i gceardlann oiriúnach dá n-aoisghrúpa. Beidh an cheardlann seo eagraithe agus faoi mhaoirseacht Bhean Uí Liaim. Oideachas atá ann trí spórt agus spraoi. [This is an opportunity for 6th class students to get involved with science via a fun educational hands-on approach. Each student will become 'A Scientist for a Day' and carry out experiments in a supervised workshop tailored for their age group.]

The 2011 Statutory Public Lecture of the School of Theoretical Physics (Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies) will take place in Trinity College Dublin on Saturday 19th November 2011 at 6:30 p.m. The lecture entitled Geometric Physics will be given by Professor Cumrun Vafa, Donner Professor of Science, Department of Physics, Harvard University. It will be held in the J.M. Synge Lecture Theatre, (Room 2039 - formerly named Walton Theatre), Arts Building, TCD. The interplay between geometry and physics has been a rich source of inspiration for both fields over many centuries. This interaction has reached new heights in recent times in the context of string theory. The talk reviews some of these developments.

Demonstration Lecture with Michael McCarthy, Waterford Institute of Technology. Presenting aspects of Calculus to Leaving Certificate students in a highly interactive fashion, towards establishing an intuitive understanding of what Calculus is, and how useful it can be as a mathematical instrument. The concept of Integral Calculus is introduced using a statistical (“Monte Carlo”) approach that is employed quite often by computers to solve mathematical problems involving Calculus. Students are invited to interactively “compute” solutions to problems by throwing small objects within a closed space and use webcam snapshots to yield a result. For 6th year secondary students.
