International Christmas Event with UCD Innovation Academy

UCD Innovation Academy invites you to attend our Undergraduate International Christmas event on Friday, 1st December from 1-3pm.

If last weekend’s Late Late Toy Show left you wondering what’s all the fuss about, wonder no more.

This Friday, UCD Innovation Academy will host a special event for UCD international students. In this run up to Christmas, and exams, we’re hosting a unique event that will:

• Give yourself a festive break from study to try out some of UCD Innovation Academy’s unique approaches to creativity and innovation while learning about Christmas in Ireland;
• Learn about Irish Christmas traditions and share your own festive customs;
• Get creative and make a collage postcard to send a message to loved ones near or far ;
• Combine VR with Christmas to try some festive art creation in the Metaverse;
• Go snowboarding, virtually (because that’s as close as we get in Ireland!) – feel the rush of cold mountain air as you carve through snowy slopes, performing tricks.
• Come and decorate laser-cut holiday ornaments in our MakerSpace. We have cut and engraved some special holiday decorations for you to customise with paints and snowy glitter. Enter a “luck dip” for a chance to get a limited edition customised ornament with your family or pet’s name.

Refreshments will be served.

Come along to UCD Innovation Academy this Friday, take a break from study, get festive, have fun and meet the team.

Where: UCD Innovation Academy, O’Brien Centre for Science, Belfield Campus, UCD.

When: Friday 1st December 1 – 3pm (drop in whenever suits).

Who: All UCD Undergraduate are welcome, be sure to register above.

Our team would be happy to speak to you about our electives on Friday.
