We’re halfway through #ScienceWeek and children all over Ireland are discovering how fun science can be.
Imagine if they could do that every week of the year!
The NCSC will make it happen — 14 exhibit spaces, a mobile 15th exhibit and a 122-seat planetarium.

Science Week is in full swing across Ireland — and its theme says it all: Then. Today. Tomorrow.
Ireland has always been a nation of inventors and problem-solvers. Now it’s time to build a home for the next generation of scientists. Here's a pic of what the NCSC would look like #scienceweek
