Autism friendly science workshop in Galway

ATU GALWAY are hosting an interactive autism friendly science workshop later this month.

Entitled Every Mind, Every Drop: Neurodiversity Meets Water Science, the event takes place on Thursday November 26 from 11am to 1pm at the campus on the Dublin Road.

It is designed especially for autistic and other neurodivergent children and young people, together with their families and carers.

Through fun, hands-on activities, participants will explore the fascinating world of water science, including water quality, simple pH experiments, environmental pollution and how science and responsible artificial intelligence (AI) can help protect our water resources.

The workshop will use clear instructions, visual supports, flexible participation and sensory-considerate activities to accommodate different learning and communication preferences. Participants can engage at their own pace and take breaks when needed.

No previous science knowledge is required, and all activity materials will be provided. Places are limited, and advance registration is required by visiting scienceweek.ie.
