Steam Powered Stories has been determined to develop and promote the 'What you say COUNTS!' project- a scheme that aims to promote the belief that every child can succeed in numeracy. As you can see from our previous blog posts, we have been providing various workshops in schools across Wales to promote numeracy in schools and its place in the workplace.
Steam Powered Stories has recently worked with Brecon High School through a Maths Skills Day. Pupils completed maths activities under time limits, subconsciously developing their maths skills as a result.
We also administered both a Finance and Entrepreneurship and Maths Skills day in Dwr-Y-Felin Comprehensive School, Neath; both workshops were successful, and students involved gained valuable experience as a result.

Additionally, Steam Powered Stories, and Learn & Grow, visited Morriston Comprehensive School in Swansea to conduct their Dragons' Den Enterprise Project that took place over a three day period. Students involved thrived in the process of becoming entrepreneurs as they created a brand, and an innovative product that they later sold to the Dragons!
We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Morriston, Dwr-Y-Felin, and Brecon High School, and we look forward to working with you in the future.
In addition to maintaining brokered links, SPS has also recently created new links with schools in Wales. We will be working with:
- Builth Wells High School, Powys
- Ysgol Bryn Aman Comprehensive School, Ammanford
- Ysgol Dewi Sant Comprhensive School, Haverfordwest
to provide excellent support through exciting numeracy-based workshops and projects in the new academic year.
Additionally, to develop the links between schools and employers, multiple companies and services have kindly agreed to help us in our administration of the 'What you say COUNTS!' project. The following companies have already agreed to get involved in our upcoming Finance and Entrepreneurship Day with Bwyth Wells High School, Powys-
- Fire Service
- Police Service
- Army Service
- Health Service

In addition to promoting the 'What you say COUNTS!' project socially, we have also been developing our online social platform. We have not only created a new blog, (the one in which your reading now!) but we have also created and transformed our Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr pages!
