Join MaREI researchers on 4th March 2023 for the ‘Engineering Our Future: Family Fun Day’ in Alice Perry Engineering Building at University of Galway, where we celebrate Engineering as part of the Engineers Week 2023! This Family Fun Day will provide plenty of science and engineering shows, workshops and hands-on activities that will inspire young (and older!!) people and help them learn about the world around us!

This is a free event. Most activities do not require pre-booking. For some shows and workshops, there are a limited number of tickets that can be booked in advance using the links given in the table below. All shows and workshops will have free tickets available on the day on a first-come-first-served basis.
