The second Amgen Teach Workshop will take place on Saturday 28th February in NUI Maynooth. The focus of this session is on using sensors to promote inquiry in the science classroom. 

Experts will be available on the day to offer advice on the various types of sensor and data-logging technologies available. Participants wishing to bring their own data-loggers or sensors are more than welcome to do so, to gain experience and ask for advice on the actual equipment in their school laboratory. A more detailed description of this event is available on the attached flyer. 

Given the practical nature of the workshops, spaces are limited and will be offered on a first come basis. To book a slot on this course please click here.
