Organisers have announced that the 2022 Munster Maths and Science Family Fair will be held on Sunday, 16th October in Mallow GAA Complex. The popular free annual event attracts circa 5,000 attendees and had become one of the entertainment highlights of the calendar year until the Covid-19 pandemic hit. Now, following two enforced event cancellations, the organising committee is looking optimistically ahead to October 2022 as far enough away that some normality and fun can finally return.
The key aim of this entertaining fair is to create an awareness of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) that surrounds our everyday living, work and recreation activities.
A selected mix of exhib-itors, including industry giants and renowned research and third level institutions, will be proudly showcasing interactive exhibits alongside local North Cork schools and their students. There is also some excitement at the inclusion of new schools from further afield.
This will be the long-awaited 10th anniversary of the fair which is organised by Mallow Development Partnership through its network of local volunteers. It is sponsored by Cork County Council and generously supported by the Irish American Part-nership.
Stay up to date with announcements via the Munster Maths and Science Family Fair page on Facebook. There is a promise of some exciting new features to be announced in the coming months to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
