2017 RDS Primary Science Fair @MIC Limerick

12th-21st January

Developing numeracy, literacy and scientific skills in the primary school classroom in an effective and creative way is what the RDS Primary Science Fair is all about.  As a non-competitive forum, the RDS Primary Science Fair showcases STEM investigations undertaken by primary school classes across Ireland. It brings together teachers, parents and students to showcase class projects, share experiences and learn from each other. Integrating a range of curricular objectives – in particular children’s oral language development and numeracy skills – the focus on inquiry based skills benefits teachers and children alike.

Now going into its eighth year, the RDS Primary Science Fair will take place at the RDS Dublin, January 12-14 and at MIC Limerick, January 19-21, 2017.  Applications to exhibit a project in 2017 in Dublin or Limerick are open to 4^th, 5^th and 6^th classes.  All the information you need to know about applying is on their website, including examples of class projects that have previously been selected for the Fair. The deadline for entries is Wednesday, October 5, 2016. Visiting schools may also visit the Fair to view projects showcased by their peers and enjoy a world of science-led entertainment!
