Ballagh’s Young Scientists
/in School News /by Ballagh NsIn Ballagh School, we pride ourselves on our interest in the STEM subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
This term our school will be collaborating with the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS) and National University of Ireland Galway in a Science programme in which they will be providing us with microscope activity kits. Our school children will benefit from this fun and engaging programme and will get to experience working in our own school laboratory, enabling all children from 4-12 of all ability levels the chance to do some experiments like ‘real life’ scientists. Keep checking this website as pictures of our young Scientists will be appearing in the coming weeks.
