Rugby star Jamie Heaslip's love of Lego bricks kick started his fascination with the science world.
Heaslip studied Medical Engineering at DCU and is the new ambassador for National Science Week which runs from November 9 - 16.
'Like most guys, I remember playing with Lego when I was a kid,' he told the Irish Independent.
'I've always been quite a methodical person and loved maths so I'm delighted to be involved in Science Week.'
Now in its 19th year, National Science Week hopes to inspire young people to pursue careers in the fields of science, engineering and mathematics.
As part of the week, Dublin's Smock Alley Theatre will be transformed into 'The Curiosity Lab' with over 800 science based events taking place.
