Because of COVID-19, we have moved our activities online for the remaining of 2020. 

​

They will be based on our hands-on science session Fantastic DNA for schools or for Science Festivals, but with new approaches!

Activities for Schools and Youth Groups

Coming Soon! Our remote workshops are still under development.

Teachers, to register your interest in participating in the future, email cellexplorers@nuigalway.ie!

The Fantastic DNA in a Box workshop is a remote DNA extraction session that can be run by teachers in the classroom without the physical presence of demonstrators. 

Through the use of pre-packaged materials, video instructions and online support, teachers can set up this session with ease and run the session either alone guided by videos or through a online video call with Cell Explorers Explainers.

 We have teamed up with the "I'm a Scientist" programme, so that our enthusiastic scientist volunteers can still interact with our young members of the public to talk about all things science-related! Teachers and their pupils will be able to use the I'm a Scientist platform to engage in a structured online chat with one of our Cell EXPLORERS scientists. You can find out more about what it means to be a scientist- whether it is about what training is involved, what scientists do in their free time, or what is involved in doing scientific research.
