Mullingar Library was full to the brim with eager young scientists joined by renowned experimental physicist Declan Holmes of Science Ireland. Declan hosted three workshops in Mullingar Library on 17th July. His unique show explored everything from the science of rockets to vuvuzelas to Darth Vader's voice.
All three workshops were jammed full of children, as well as parents, and everyone got to participate and perform experiments of their own, from launching air rockets to musical instruments. We hope this will help foster a love of learning, paricularly about science and the world around us.
Westmeath Libraries are thrilled to work with Midlands Science promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths literacy across the county.
