LISTEN BACK: Having a 'blast' at Kingscourt NS during Science Week

Primary school pupils from across the Northern Sound region are this week participating in the ESB Science Blast next week. It is being delivered by the RDS and is a STEM-focused education programme involving whole classes investigating the science behind a simple question, such as "how will climate change affect baby sharks?".

Maria Duff who is a teacher at St Joseph's NS in Kingscourt spoke to the Wider View this week about her classes projects including one that investigates the question 'Can we find biodegradable and sustainable materials to replace plastic in packaging?

Maria began by explaining what Science Blast is all about.
