We’re heading to Wicklow for Science Week 2026! On Sunday, 8th November, TOG Hackerspace will be joining our friends from Dublin Maker, JellyLab and Bloop Groop for Making Waves: Exploring the Sea Through Science and Sound . What happens when you turn data from the sea into music? Or use electronics and light to explore what’s happening beneath the waves? Making Waves brings together scientists, musicians and makers for an afternoon of hands-on activities exploring the sea in new and interesting ways. TOG will be bringing along some interactive electronics projects, including a new version of our water-pouring game. We’re also working on getting live data from the nearby sea back into the hall using a wireless link, giving the Bloop Groop something to turn into music and sound. There will be plenty more to explore, from marine samples and scientific experiments to music, lights and interactive displays. Event Details Date: Sunday, 8th November 2026 Time: 2pm to 6pm Location: Assembly Hall, Bachelor’s Walk, Wicklow Town Admission: Free! The even

I couldn’t read most of the words, but I couldn’t put it down either. That book was the first of many. Throughout my childhood, the only presents I wanted for birthdays and Christmas were books about space. Over time, that childlike fascination began to deepen into something harder to name. It was a draw that slowly turned admiration into direction, and wonder into responsibility. I am 17 years old, from Barquisimeto, Venezuela. I have built my path in astronomy through self-study, training, and persistence. Along the way, I was credited through the International Astronomical Search Collaboration with eight provisional asteroid discoveries, including one that recently reached numbered status: 2021 GG40.
