EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES
WHEN IT COMES TO THE MARINE WORLD, EVERY DAY IS A SCHOOL DAY!
WE'VE PUT TOGETHER SOME EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES THAT WILL INSPIRE AND ENTHUSE YOU ALL.
BIM ARC VIRTUAL REALITY
The Aquaculture Remote Classroom (ARC)is a truck-sized classroom which is travelling throughout Ireland to bring knowledge of aquaculture to primary schools. The ARC is fully equipped to provide young learners with an interactive and engaging experience with large screen displays, VR Headsets and hands-on group activities. Through active learning, pupils learn about aquaculture, explore its role in food production and in preserving the environment, and discover how it affects their local community.
NET REUSE WORKSHOP
Learn about plastic pollution with Sea Synergy and what is being done with marine plastic waste to close the loop. In this two hour workshop you will look into fishing net waste and how it can be reused, what is currently happening and how you can also contribute. Hands on crafting with fishing nets, discussions on circular economy and using waste as a resource.

MARINE CREATURE FEATURE
