Do you want to know more about our approaches to widen participation in STEM? Read @NeuroKristin & @SarahLRCarroll's interview with @meadhbhmcnutt in @uniofgalway Cois Coiribe. Cell EXPLORERS: Who Gets To Be a Scientist? impact.universityofgalway.ie/news/cell-expl…

🚀Today our #CellExplorers team, led by Dr Amaya Sanz Rodriguez & Dr @MonaHeiland, brought hands-on science to St Enda’s NS! 🧬45 curious 5th & 6th class students extracted real banana DNA & learned about cutting-edge research at #FutureNeuro. Thanks for the warm welcome!

Another #FantasticDNA visit by Amaya & Mona and their amazing team of @Futureneuro_ie #CellExplorers scientists #handsonscience @Researchirel @MonaHeiland

Amazing talk on the design, succes & achievements on the video competition #ReelLifeScience by its director & our friend @beslowboy , at @EuseaEvents. Great collaboration with @Foroige senior youth officer Megan Depinna ! #eusea25 @uniofgalway @Researchirel @STEM_Galway

We are pleased to announce that the Research Ireland Discover Programme is open for applications. The programme aims to empower participation, grow talent and inspire deep public engagement in #STEM. For more information visit: researchireland.ie/funding/discov…

We also presented a poster on #fantasticDNA, its delivery practices & the results of the 2023 roadshow evaluation. The sessions delivery was funded by @researchireland & the institutions hosting #cellexplorers teams #EUSEA2025 @STEM_Galway @universityofgalway @EuseaEvents

Great presentation by Silke on the Cell Explorers science club training for youth workers that we created and ran last year as part of the @MDTFoundation funded GROWS project #EUSEA2025 @universityofgalway @EuseaEvents @STEM_Galway

Delighted to attend this year’s @EuseaEvents conference with many public engagement practionners from Ireland and @uniofgalway @STEM_Galway #EUSEA2025

Climate Superheros webinar at 11.15 on the 19th May! Explorers Climate Change – Superheroes provides children with an opportunity to develop an understanding about the Earth’s Climate System, learn about climate change, and the challenges it brings. Join the Explorers Team on the 19 th May, from 11:15am to 12:00pm, and discover the connections between the ocean and our weather and climate. Explore the history of our climate systems and how a changing climate could impact our ocean and marine ecosystems in the future. Perfect for 3rd to 6th-class students and teachers, this interactive session will explore the ocean and climate relationship and how we can create positive environmental changes, to promote our ocean and marine living things. Ready to explore? Register today at livingearth.ie/.../school-cli… and join the Explorers Team on May 19th. Let’s all become climate superheroes together! 🦸🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ #KeepExploring @MarineInst @CalmastWIT @livingearth.ie

Magnificent engage ment by @MonaHeiland &Amaya’s team!

🤩Our second #MyMovingBrain event took place on Saturday! Huge thanks to our speakers, collaborators, our @CellExplorers team, sports organisations, Mayfield Sports Complex for hosting us & @DeasyRobyn for her stunning illustrations. Most of all, thanks to everyone who joined us!

🚀Last week, our @Cellexplorers Team, led by @MonaHeiland, brought hands-on science to St Mochta's NS, Clonsilla! Over 200 5th & 6th class students extracted real DNA from bananas and explored the exciting research at #FutureNeuro. Big thanks to the school for the warm welcome!

Look at the brilliant @Futureneuro_ie Cellexplorers team who met the young scientists of StMochta NS! Well done Mona & team! #FantaticDNA #ScienceRoleModels @Researchirel

🔬🧬 Exciting news from our TY Biology and Second Year Maths classes! On Friday, Nov 17, our students embarked on a thrilling educational journey in Lab 2, participating in the Cell Explorers Escape Room. 🧩 Hosted in collaboration with Dr. Muriel Grenon and her team from @universityofgalway, this event was not just about fun and games. Students honed their problem-solving skills and even learned to use a micropipette! 🧪 #ScienceEducation #NUIG #CellExplorers #ProblemSolving #HandsOnLearning

Thank you very much to staff from @TUS_Athlone_ who facilitated a very enjoyable workshop, 'Cell Explorers', this morning with Ms. Grace's 2nd class. @ScienceWeek @DCUCMS @OidePrimarySTEM

@tubberclarens @TUS_Athlone_ @ScienceWeek @DCUCMS @OidePrimarySTEM we missed your post! thank you so much for having us in your classroom!

Science Week 2024! Primary students explored DNA with sweets at ‘DNA Delights,’ while secondary students learned ‘How NOT to get cancer.’ We also hosted a ‘Chocolate Food Explorers Workshop’ and engaged young minds with ‘Cell Explorers.’ #ScienceWeek2024 #ULScience @sci_engUL @UL
