MEMBERS PREVIEW OF HYPERBOLIC CROCHET CORAL REEF
A WOOLLY WONDER

"Everything has been created out of sea mucus for love arises from the foam"
Lorenz Oken

Be the first to dive into the HYPERBOLIC CROCHET CORAL REEF when we explore the silent depths of Science Gallery's newest exhibition. Discover the complex beauty of nature and the fragility of our underwater ecosystem through a mathematical odyssey into climate change.

Tours of Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef
20:03:10-13:00 - 11:06:10-18:00

Want to know more about reef? Then sign up for this exclusive tour as we plunge you into the mysterious world of the HYPERBOLIC CROCHET CORAL REEF. Our student mediators will guide you through the exhibition in these environmental and maths based tours where you’re encouraged to ask questions, pick up a crochet needle and dive into the deep.

Electronics Workshop with Mitch Altman and Jimmie P Rodgers
23:03:10-18:00 - 21:00

The Robots.ie and Tog.ie present a Mitch Altman electronics workshop. Mitch is the brains behind Cornfield Electronics and one of the co-founders of Noisebridge hackerspace in San Francisco, and has taught thousands of people to solder travelling all around with his famous workshops and sharing his love of electronics.

If you have ever had any curiosity about making something with electronics, then please join us! Anyone and everyone can learn to make cool things- and it’s fun, and easy. You can learn to make something cool with electronics in one workshop, and take your cool project home with you.

Irish Robotics Club: MAKE NIGHT
31:03:10-18:00 - 20:00

The idea of a “Make Night” is simple - come along to the Science Gallery and make ANYTHING you like, in the company of other “makers” doing the same. Share ideas, materials and tools. Show off you projects and from learn the experience of others. Drink Italian coffee and talk to friendly creative people. Engineers, artists, jam makers, glue and glitter experts all welcome. Pick a project, get your materials together and join in the fun.

PRISM BOOK CLUB: Finding Moonshine by Marcus du Sautoy
31:03:10-18:00 - 19:30

See things differently at PRISM, the popular science book club where geek will always be chic.

To tie in with Science Gallery's exhibition Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef's exploration of maths, PRISM Book Club's March selection is Finding Moonshine by Marcus du Sautoy.

Finding Moonshine: A Mathematician's Journey Through Symmetry is by author Marcus Du Sautoy who makes a habit of making maths fun and popular. In twelve chapters, one for each month of his working year, du Sautoy explores the nature of symmetry and gives an unparalleled insight into the working life of a mathematician.

'Marcus Du Sautoy knows how to tell a story, and, even more important, how to make difficult ideas palatable and entertaining.' Sunday Telegraph
