Calling all aspiring young scientists, we have a summer camp for you!

The AstroLands team at I-LOFAR, an initiative of TCD, are delighted to announce that we will be running our virtual Nebula Astro Camp this summer about all things space. The camp will include a wide range of new activities, talks from researchers and people who work in the field, and lots more engaging content – all brought to you through your computer screen!

Each Astro Camper will be sent out a pack with all the materials needed for the week so they can be fully immersed in a fun learning environment from home. Each day of the camp will follow a different theme so Astro Campers will be expanding their knowledge interactively day by day at a level that is appropriate for their age. Space may be infinite but space at our Astro Camp is not so get booking, you won’t want to miss this!

Who? The Nebula Astro Camp is suitable for children aged 10 to 12 years old, or anyone who is in or just finished 5th or 6th class.

When? 28th – 30th of July & 18-20th August, 10:00 – 13:00 each day.

Cost? FREE! A €25 deposit is required to secure a place. This will be returned after the student has attended the camp or sufficient notice of cancellation is given.
Deposit charge waived for Frontline workers and those who have had their wage affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Please get in touch by email education@lofar.ie. Correspondence treated in strictest confidence.
