This is just one of several events scheduled for this Sunday and the following week to support careers in the industry.

This year's Science Week topic is “What It Means to Be Human in Today's World” and “How Today's Decisions Affect Future Generations.”

Considering this, the goal of today's event in Galway was specifically to captivate the attention of the younger participants.

At the fair, which welcomed over 20,000 attendees with a variety of exhibits, demonstrations, and activities, crowds began to gather early this morning.

One of fifteen free events taking place around the nation this coming week is the Galway Science and Technology Fair. According to the organisers, there will be plenty for people of all ages and interests to enjoy.

The goal is to encourage interest in STEM subjects science, technology, engineering, and math which spur innovation, provide useful answers to real-world issues, and boost the nation's economy.
