The visitor experience at Old Cork Waterworks Experience reopened on Tuesday 4th January and operated in response and in compliance with the Covid-19 guidelines. The site now operates Monday to Friday and remains closed at weekends. There was a total of 544 outreach contacts in January and 67 visitors to the site. Education activities continued to be maintained consistently following successful reopening of schools in September. Three distinct workshop offerings are now available to primary schools, “House of Circuits”, “Explorers” Marine Science and SEAI “Senior” Energy. Bookings remain steady and our system is very responsive to meet changing school circumstances and will remain so until the easing of Covid-19 restrictions with the school environs. SEAI Energy Workshop - School Visit Lifetime Lab has been an SEAI Education partner since 2010 and resumed the delivery of in-school workshops on a trial basis in late October. As restrictions were eased mid-January bookings opened for the resumption of in person school visits in February with 17 sessions to be delivered to 344 cork primary school children. Explorers Primary Marine Science Lifetime Lab is the education partner for the Cork region for “Explorers” a primary marine science education program and has been awarded a new 2-year contract funded by the Marine Institute.
