Teachers, this is the important stuff for you.
1. ESB Science Blast Supports Your Work
ESB Science Blast has been specifically designed by the RDS to make life easier for primary school teachers. The programme is designed to cover parts of the curriculum by having the class ask simple questions based on maths, science or design.
What are your class currently asking when you cover topics such as ‘living things’ or ‘energy and forces’? Do they want to know how the maths they are learning works in practice? Turn those questions into an investigation with the class and empower them to take the first steps to answering their own questions. We provide a simple framework to help you do this.
2. We Can Help You Get There
Literally. The RDS provides a travel bursary to every ESB Science Blast showcase event. The amount of €75 (ROI) is given to each participating school to help cover transport costs. We aim to make it as easy as possible for every school to participate in this unique event.
3. We’ve Thought of Your Class Every Step of the Way
The RDS has created ESB Science Blast exclusively for primary school children. The children will showcase what they have found, with their peers and teachers from other schools, as well as experts from various STEM backgrounds who are there to encourage students’ learning in this area.
When not at their showcase stands, they will be fully occupied with fabulous science entertainment shows, tailor-made for 8–12-year olds. And there is loads of room, so plenty of space for more than one class from each school.
