Through art, storytelling and interactive games, the children learned about the science and technology that can move us to a sustainable future.
"Night's Candles are Burnt Out" invites visitors to explore how Ireland can embrace its pioneering history and lead the way in addressing the Climate Challenge, by harnessing the immense renewable energy potential of the Shannon Estuary, particularly through wind and water.
