About
Science Week
We
are constantly surrounded by science, technology and engineering
in the modern world. We are woken by talking alarm clocks,
dress in man-made fibres, check the TV weather, listen
to radio news or traffic reports, use electricity to make
our breakfast. And all that is before we have even left
the house.
This
year Science Week Ireland explores this theme and illustrates
just how much science surrounds us every day.
