The volunteers shared their experience of working in the medical device industry and held workshops on Forensic Science, Defence against Disease, Careers in Science, Technology and Engineering. Students were also treated to a tour of the Science Department and Campus at NUIG by student volunteers from the ALIVE programme who spoke about their experience at university.

The event workshops provided an exciting insight into the world of science and each of the activities focused on a highly topical and interesting scientific subject – such as the use of science in solving crime or the vital role of bioscience in protecting against the spread of disease and bacteria.
