StrongWomen Science are dedicated to using their astounding circus tricks to explain how science works. Aoife is an electronic engineer and she uses her engineering expertise and circus skills to make even complicated ideas and processes simple and fun.

The show and workshops were created by Circus250, a Mayo-based circus creation company, and tours Ireland and beyond. Last year StrongWomen Science headlined at the Abu Dhabi Science Festival and won Best Family Friendly Event in the UK, the first science show to ever do so.
This year, the same team won the Bank of Ireland Better Together Arts Award for the county to develop the new circus ecology show Breathe. Circus to Make You Gasp about respiration and recovery.
You can find out more about StrongWomen Science and other Circus250 shows at www.circus250.org.
In the meantime, keep on practicing those circus science tricks!
