Discover what it takes to work in the exciting world of space with inspiring conversations with guests working in space-related careers alongside an interactive session led by Microsoft Dream Space, and a live Q&A where you can ask your burning questions to everyone involved.

This special event was broadcast live from Dream Space with ESERO Ireland as part of Science Week 2026 and will allowed young people to not only hear and engage with individuals from different backgrounds but also take some time to do a practical activity in your classroom.

The event is designed for all second level students – Junior Cycle, Transition Year, Senior Cycle, and Youthreach learners. No previous knowledge is required.

We were joined by three amazing guests who spoke about their careers, how they got to where they are now, what their job is like, and how things don’t always work out the way you might plan.

Our guest were

• Chloe Lawlor, an Astrophysics PhD student at University of Galway who discovered new exoplanets
• Dr Rob Conway-Kenny, the European Space Agency (ESA) Phi-Lab Ireland Manager based at Irish Manufacturing Research (IMR) in Mullingar
• Prof Caitriona Jackman, a Senior Professor at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), where she leads a research group on Planetary Magnetospheres
