Contributions

All members of the delegation presented their projects at the fair. Catherine Tattersall won honours for the Irish team with her “Colourful science aqua beads” project which gained a Teaching Award prize of €1000. Aqua Beads are hydroponic gel beads that can absorb up to 150 times their volume in water.

This participation was made possible by the grateful support of Institute for Physics in Ireland (IOPI), CASTeL at Dublin City University and the Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST).
