Three young girls are gathered around a microscope at Lismore Heritage Centre. One girl in a pink polka dot dress is looking through the lens, while the others watch closely and smile, enjoying an engaging STEM for children activity.

EDUCATION THAT WILL IGNITE A PASSION…

The centre for science education, we offer STEM school workshops, school tours, and science boxes!

FEATURED ACTIVITY

SUPER SCIENCE BOXES

Lismore Heritage Centre Education has developed a range of Super Science Boxes bursting with STEM for your home or school. Whatever your young ones are into, we have something to satisfy their curious minds! From erupting volcanoes, to launching rockets and right back around to messy chemicals, you’re sure to find what they will really enjoy!

A child in blue holds a cardboard box labeled “Super Science Box: Stinky Stem,” featuring a cartoon scientist. The box, part of STEM for children educational resources, sits on a table with cups and experiments nearby. Another child is partially visible on the left.

PRIMARY SCHOOLS

Bring Science to life, from tailored Mobile Science Workshops that visit your school, to exciting School Tours exploring and investigating or natural world. Lismore Heritage Centre will work with teachers to provide the most fun educational day for their class. We bring the workshops and the magic of Science to you all year round. Choose from Shocking Science to Guts of Digestion to name a few of our themes. Our school tours operate in May and June and with exciting modules like Horrible History and Scribble Squad it’s the perfect class day out. We operate year round 2 hour STEM Workshops for those budding scientists who just can’t get enough of STEM.

Three children play together indoors at Lismore Heritage Centre, building a structure with large, colorful interlocking blocks. One girl is assembling yellow blocks, while another girl and a boy smile and stack blue and red blocks.

Three girls at Lismore Heritage Centre watch a science experiment with a balloon, vacuum pump, and gauge. Behind them are wall decals of planets and an astronaut. All three appear engaged, exploring STEM for children in an inspiring setting.

SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Our Secondary School Workshop packages bring Science to life, coming from the birth place of Robert Boyle, “Father of Modern Chemistry” our workshops are aimed at junior, transition year and senior cycles. We broadly cover topics and introduce many ideas to get students thinking. Based on the curriculum we blend all the strands of Science where possible to give the student the experience of applying Science to real life in a positive, fun environment. Our Ecology Field Trips take place in the picturesque Ballysaggartmore Towers where students collect data about the ecosystem and analyse the data collected.
