Family workshop: The beat of your heart

Join us in Humanarium at RCSI for a free family-friendly workshop getting hands-on with the science of the heart. Suitable for children aged 7-12 and their grown-ups.

Your heart is working away every second of the day – but what is it actually doing in there?

In this 45-minute family workshop, children (and their grown-ups) can get hands-on with the science of the heart. Find out where your heart really is, how big it is, how it pumps blood around the body, and why it starts thumping away when we run, jump or get excited. There’ll be plenty of movement, questions and “hang on, is that my heartbeat?” moments.

This workshop will be delivered by Simply Science facilitator, mathematician and GAA county footballer Cliodhna Ní Shé. It’s the perfect blend of exploring science, sport, and the incredible machine inside all of us!
