The RSC education team aim to support Chemistry teachers and enable them to inspire their students into pursuing a future in the chemical sciences. Angela McKeown is working as the RSC coordinator for Ireland. Several events have been organised for Science Week. RSC are hosting a "Chemistry Careers" event on Friday 16th November (10.30am – 12.30pm) in association with Trinity College. Teachers are invited to bring classes of Transition Year and senior Chemistry students to the Stanley Quek lecture theatre in the new Biosciences Institute at Trinity College. (Please note that this building is 152-160 Pearse Street – check out directions on line). The event will feature short career talks from a wide variety of speakers, all of whom have studied Chemical Sciences. Some postgraduate students from Trinity will also demonstrate an interactive showcase of their reserach. The event is completely free but only has space for 300 students so advance booking is essential and places will be assigned on a first come basis.
