Pint of Science What's Happening

With Pint of Science Events just around the corner, we wanted to talk about the variety of events that are coming up! Run in conjunction with the Creative Spark Enterprise FabLab, these free events will fill up quickly! 

Scalability of 3D Printing 9th May 

Peter Knief completed a PhD in Physics with TUD. He will discuss the capacity of 3D printing as a cross technology approach, a tool, a solution, a product, a way to fabricate new ideas, re-engineer parts and recreate items which are not readily available, merging modern technology with craft, repair, recycle and a good portion of ingenuity.

 

Rum and Whiskey Distilling 9th May

Mo Chara are hosting a workshop in their outdoor dining and event space, exploring Copeland Distillery unique distillation process which produces Rum & Pot Still Whiskey on Ireland’s East Coast. The Copeland Distillery, is a craft producer of a range of spirits crafted with locally foraged botanicals.

 

Vertical Farming 10th May

German born Friederike Eimer has a professional degree in ecology and a strong personal interest in human nutrition. She thrives on growing food that has a low ecological footprint and uses no chemicals, pesticides or artificial fertiliser. But most importantly, it has exceptional nutritional benefits for customers. This is something very close to Friederike’s heart, having been diagnosed, herself, with a vitamin and mineral deficiency years ago. Her search began for natural ways to boost nutrient levels and so Root Up Microgreens was born.
