We are very excited to announce this workshop with leading international indie gamers and artists, the Brooklyn-based Babycastles; self described as "ingredients of a rhythm of indie, furthermore unprofessional, game designers from near the universe."
In this workshop, you will combine independent games from local game developers, large stuffed animals, chef knives, colorful duct tape, assorted blinking electronics, and the virus-writing windows scripting software "AutoHotkey", amongst other things, and emerge with a new independent video games arcade that will be exhibited to the public as part of GAME, an upcoming exhibition exploring the future of play, opening at Science Gallery on November 15th.

As part of the Towards Women in Science and Technology events, WiSER and Science Gallery are delighted to bring you this inaugral public talk by Dr. Naomi Harte.
We can map the human genome, put people in space and carry out remote robotic surgery and yet we still can't get a machine to understand what we are saying! Join us as Naomi probes the reasons behind our human - machine misunderstandings!

Are you interested in changing the world for the next generation by helping to identify and share a range of initiatives that aim to increase the interest of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) amongst students, with a particular focus on girls?
Have you developed unique workshops, school or museum-based events, exhibitions or mentoring programmes that explore, challenge and raise awareness of the roles of women in science, engineering and technology? Then TWIST-ON want to hear about them.

PANEL DISCUSSIONS: A series of lively panel discussions curated by Science Gallery Leonardo Dylan Haskins on themes and topics arising from this year's Dublin Theatre Festival programme.
As head of Collide@CERN, Ariane Koek has created an artists’ residency programme at the world’s largest particle physics laboratory and home to the Large Hadron Collider. In this event Koek and other cultural programmers discuss ambitions, challenges and dangers when negotiating the oscillations between science and art in their respective organisations.

Join us at Science Gallery for a flight of flavour focused on seasonal and locally sourced superfoods.
Former MasterChef Ireland contestant and EDIBLE dinner curator ClareAnne O’Keefe will explore the alchemy of food and cooking using Ireland’s own ‘magical materials’ of foraged and indigenous ingredients. The menu is influenced by both science and science-fiction, highlighting the superpower qualities of food and transforming these ingredients into magical dishes.

Whatever people think about the rapid pace of change in the past, the fundamental arrangement of materials on the planet has not altered. There are living things which we call life, and there are non-living things which we call rocks, tools, buildings and so on. As a result of our greater understanding of matter, this distinction is now becoming blurred and is likely to usher in a new materials age.
Mark Miodownik, from the Institute of Making, believes bionic people with synthetic organs, bones and even brains will be the norm. Just as we become more synthetic, so our man-made environment is changing to become more lifelike: living buildings, and objects that heal-themselves are on the horizon.

A spectrum opportunity awaits both consumers and the communications industry when the Irish analogue TV signals are switched off at the end of October 2012. The unused White Spaces that will surround the new digital signals of the Saorview system will be up for grabs.
But, who will use this spectrum? What will they use this new spectrum for? How will they access it?
Some of these questions have already been addressed by both industry and regulators in the USA and the UK where the digital TV switchover has already advanced. Suggested uses of this spectrum range from new WiFi-like devices for increased broadband connectivity, to machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, to new mobile network operator deployments.

Please note this is a small session on Sunday not Saturday!
What is Coder Dojo? We hacked together a cool hangout that puts the real power of the internet and technology in the hands of the Irish youth. The true power of the net comes from coding, designing and having fun. CoderDojo is a place where you can learn from others and share what you are doing! Each week we have a hands on session with technologies like HTML5, PHP or Python. For more details visit http://coderdojo.com/ or contact the Coder Dojo team at dublin@coderdojo.com.
