AMBER Science Week Event: “Smalltalk on the Big Screen”

5 November 2025

AMBER Science Week Event: “Smalltalk on the Big Screen” takes place 13th November 6pm, Old Science Gallery, Trinity College Dublin

Led by AMBER, “Smalltalk on the Big Screen” invites attendees of all ages to get playful with hands-on materials science & bioengineering activities including: 3-D printing, LEGO® challenges, and interactive demos with TCD, RCSI, Ulster University and Trinity Quantum Alliance.

👉 Perhaps you might like to try your hand at making your own battery with the team from Current Chemistry Investigators?

👉Enjoy a quiet read in our STEM stories space?

👉Be sure to stop by our PPI Ignite Network Chillout Zone where you can relax while learning more about the work of those involved in Public Patient Involvement.

After that, grab your popcorn and enjoy the premiere of two animated shorts:

‘Something’s Missing’, created by the multi-talented Ian Benjamin Kenny, where rabbit princes Joshua and Kevin turn to the power of regenerative medicine to reveal a long-lost secret.

‘Quantum Quest’, from the creative minds of Adam Rael’s team at Cassette Vision, Alice and Bob are transported to the Quantum Realm, where they experience bizarre phenomena.

Both shorts were created with support from Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland’s National Talent Academy for Animation, based on original storybooks conceived and written through a collaboration between AMBER and Fighting Words. Our event wraps up with a lively panel discussion with scientists and animation teams behind each movie, who will delve into the science behind each animation- audience participation encouraged!
