What is Physics Busking?

‘Busking’ or Street Entertaining is a well established activity in Ireland’s cities.

In the same spirit, Physics Busking brings physics demonstrations and concepts on to the streets to the unexpecting shoppers.

Central to all this, is the concept that Physics is Fun!!


Who are the Buskers?A group of science and trainee science teachers formed through links with the IOP and the Irish Science on Stage Team.

The group meets before the event for a training session.
