Project Details:
TULCA and the Marine Institute's Explorers Education Programme have collaborated producing an art- marine science installation and short film called "Build your own Unknown" with artist Louise Manifold and with pupils from Cregmore national school, Co. Galway.
The project involves a re-enactment of the 2011 discovery of the Moytirra deep-sea hydrothermal vent field, originally found along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, north of the Azores 3000m under the ocean. Students, teacher, artist and scientist, learn and work together in the classroom as co-creators and collaborators embedding ICT and creativity throughout the project.
The project will also result with the development of education lesson plans and resources for the Explorers Education Programme™ which will be available on www.explorers.ie later this year. “Build your own Unknown video and installation will be exhibited at SeaFest 2017 June 30th – July 2nd.
The Explorers Education Programme is supported by the Marine Institute, and funded under the Marine Research Programme by the Irish Government. More Info see: http://tulcafestival.com/marine-institute/'
