Problem-Solving Festival

Young students holding cut-out large brain

As part of the Irish nationwide Problem-Solving Initiative, the ADAPT Centre hosted a Problem-Solving Festival on Saturday, 30th September, from 11AM to 5PM, in Trinity College Dublin (TCD). The festival took place in the Examination Hall in TCD, a prominent location just inside the front gates off College Green.

The family festival offered activities for all ages, including language games, logic puzzles, large-scale games, interactive workshops and curated lectures. More than 2,000 people attended. See our write-up and photo gallery on the festival.

Many thanks to our sponsors Science Foundation Ireland and Microsoft and our exhibitors:
