Episode 5: A Blast from the Past! The RDS and Science Education in Ireland

  • Résumé

  • From the establishment of its first laboratory in 1792 to the introduction of ESB Science Blast in 2019, the RDS has a long and illustrious history of engagement with science education in Ireland.

    During the 18th century the RDS disseminated new scientific ideas through its journal publications and introduced professorships in chemistry and physics. In the 19th century it played a pivotal role in the establishment of the National College of Science and introduced a series of public lectures on all aspects of science and technology.

    Today the RDS continues its commitment to STEM education in Ireland through ESB Science Blast, a free and fun-filled interactive experience designed and delivered by the RDS that seeks to engage primary school children with STEM, using 21st century skills.

    Join RDS Foundation Director Niamh de Loughry in conversation with our Head of Library & Archives Natasha Serne and science communication expert Dr Brian Trench as they explore the rich and fascinating history of the relationship between the RDS and science education in Ireland across three centuries.
