The students’ project posters will be on display in the Lifetime Lab Visitor Centre where members of the public will be able to view the students’ work, as well as digital video clips of the students talking about their projects.

The exhibition is designed to showcase the work of students and teachers who have represented Cork at national level, and to give members of the public the chance to view the projects in their local area. For aspiring young scientists who have not had the opportunity to visit the Exhibition at the RDS in Dublin this is an ideal opportunity get a taste for what it is all about.

Teachers are welcome to bring school groups to visit the display but pre-booking is necessary. To book a school visit please contact Lifetime Lab at 021-4941500 or email lifetimelab@corkcity.ie

The exhibition, which is running as part of the Dublin City of Science year, will look at the factors that affect happiness and wellbeing on a national scale and how these impact on innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship.

The event will feature SMS probes to measure levels of happiness and will also show the effect of therapeutic text messages on a person’s level of happiness.

Visit the Science Gallery or Dublin City of Science website for more.

The first class runs on 19 February from 10am until 2pm and every Sunday thereafter.

Due to limited space, if you are interested in taking part you need to pre-register for the event by sending your email contact details to info[at]bco[dot]ie
