Pictured at ESB Science Blast at Mary Immaculate College in Limerick are primary school students from Timoleague National School.

Over 100 projects were displayed for the fifth annual ESB Science Blast taking place over three days in Limerick. Delivered by the RDS Foundation, ESB Science Blast is a STEM-focused educational programme involving whole classes investigating the science behind simple questions.

Pupils from each class participating showcased an experiment and discussed their investigation with a STEM expert (Judge/Moltóir). The judging was non-competitive and aimed at growing pupils’ interest and passion for STEM. Now in its fifth year, over 35,000 children have participated in ESB Science Blast to date, making it the largest primary school programme on the island of Ireland, and one of the largest programmes of its kind in Europe.

The investigations by students from Cork included:

• ‘What you dispose down the drain matters’; Timoleague National School; Bandon; County Cork.
• ‘Is it possible to see sound waves?’; Timoleague National School; Bandon; County Cork.
