Cruinniú na nÓg at Carnival of Science, Fitzgerald’s Park
Design a space for nature, create a place for plankton, and imagine what it means to be part of a thriving multi‑species community. These hands‑on STEAM workshops are inspired by Tools of the Trade, a collaborative art project which brings together art, science, research, and creative enquiry. Through playful making and creative thinking, children are invited to explore big ideas about ecology, interconnected systems, and the often‑unseen life that supports our planet.
