Ongoing Events

The annual Maths and Science Exploration Week for Primary Schools will take place during Trinity Week from 16th -20th April 2012.  Over 250 primary school children and their teachers who are studying in schools linked to the Trinity Access Programmes (www.tcd.ie/trinity_access) will visit Trinity for a day to be inspired by Mathematics and Science during very hands-on, interactive workshops. The children will also gain a broader appreciation of the benefits of going to college by trying out activities in the Sports Centre, having lunch in the Dining Hall and going on a campus tour with current TAP students. 

The Faculty of Engineering, Mathematics and Science has organised a number of workshops as part of the Trinity Week, STEM in Society programme. Michael Purser, former lecturer in the School of Mathematics and author of the book La Rosa con El Clavel, will also be presenting certificates of participation to the students. 

 
The following Schools will be hosting workshops for the primary school children during Trinity Week:

• School of Physics and the Astrophysics Research Group
• School of Mathematics
• School of Dentistry
• School of Zoology
• Zoology Museum

TAP is very grateful to the Schools within the Faculty of Engineering, Mathematics and Science for their contribution to the TAP Maths and Science Exploration Programme which has been running for over eight years.  For further information on this programme activity, please contact Kathleen O’Toole-Brennan, Trinity Access Programmes kotoole@tcd.ie  896-3590.
