Schools & Educators

Throughout the Festival, a wide range of our partners will deliver a variety of talks and workshops designed to engage, excite and inspire your class!

NI Science Festival is delighted to present a bumper Schools and Educators programme for our 2025 Festival!

Carrying on from the overwhelming success of the 2024 edition, we will showcase an array of events from Monday 17 - Friday 21 February with a mixture of interactive, online and in person presentations for pupils across Northern Ireland.

Huge thanks to our partners at the Nerve Centre for creating our most ambitious schools programme to date.
