The amazing resonance between the Mallow community, industries, third level institutes, researchers and local schools continues to bring the Mallow Maths and Science Fair to levels beyond expectations. Up to 4,500 Visitors at yesterday’s fair experienced a trip to Space with Dr. Niamh Shaw’s My place in Space, a walk down the Alimentary Adventures Tunnel with the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre (UCC) team and making crystals with the Synthesis and Solid State Pharmaceutical Centre (SSPC based in UL). Aimed at all the family, the emphasis in the Fair was fun and entertainment, and featured a whole range of interactive demonstrations including robotics, lego, technology, knee joints for implantation, maths puzzles and dome building - just a sample of the activities visitors took part in at the country’s largest community-based Science and Maths Family Fair.
