There’s a second chance to catch up with this year’s Science Week lectures – the videos are now on the Discover Science & Engineering (DSE) channel on YouTube.
For example, Damini Kumar explored design, creativity and innovation. Damini is the European Ambassador for Creativity and Innovation and the Director of Product Design in NUI Maynooth.
She invented the world’s first non-drip teapot in 1998 and has a number of other prestigious achievements to her name, including 2001 Young British Female Inventor of the Year. Damini was listed as one of the “Top 100 Women in the World” by Cosmopolitan magazine
Among other highlights from Science Week 2009 are:
