Take part in a creative hands-on workshop in Galway Atlantaquaria imagining how life might evolve on other planets. Students will evaluate and interpret the adaptations of aquatic animals which inhabit extreme environments on earth.

Workshop will include a tour of the aquarium highlighting the unique characteristics of our aquatic animals and how they adapt to their environment.
