Here’s why teachers love ESB Science Blast

“My kids had an absolute ball and on the bus home that day were already talking about what they could investigate next year. The spirit of non-competitiveness was such a lovely aspect to the event, and the children were so proud of their trophy.” Máirín O’Shea, St Laurence’s NS, Dublin 20

“ESB Science Blast was an extremely well organised event and the pupils had a very educational and enjoyable experience in a stimulating and safe environment.” Catriona Lordan, Dunboyne Senior NS, Meath

“Such an amazing event. The children were blown away by the day. They loved the opportunity to display and explain their science project. The judges were so encouraging and really engaged with the kids about our project. They loved going around to see what all the other schools were exhibiting and talking to children from other schools about their projects. My kids’ interest and enthusiasm for science has been ignited by the whole experience.” David Walsh, Scoil Nioclais, Cork

“Science Blast was a very positive experience for our fifth-class pupils. They had the experience of showcasing their projects to an outside audience and this was such a big deal for them. The highlight for them was the visits and feedback from the judges. They realised that science is all around them in everyday life and not just the remit of the while coated scientist in the lab.

There was much conversation on the way home about the possibility that they could be scientists when they grow up. ESB Science Blast certainly extended their horizons and created great excitement in the school.” Eleanor Fahy, Mother of Divine Grace School, Dublin 11
