1)  Story Telling Project: 

Our Story Telling Project is funded by GwirVol and is a scheme that develops and delivers innovative, engaging, and fun literary workshops for children ages 7-11. The scheme aims to improve literary standards across South Wales, and the project will run throughout Merthyr Tydfil, Caerphilly, and Rhondda Cynon Taff. We will be reporting more on this scheme in the coming months, so stay tuned! 

2) Free Educational Outreach Programme: 

 We are honoured to be working on behalf of Techniquest to deliver their 'Educational Outreach Programme- Let's talk Maths & Physics' in Mid and South West Wales.  

The programme offers a range of challenge workshops that are designed to encourage students studying Maths and Science in secondary education. The workshop activities will include, 'Maths Matters', that comprises of a number of videos that show how maths is used in a real world context, 'Backstage Challenge' where students organise a series of concerts across Wales, and the 'Solving problems with Physics' workshop that focuses on how physics is used in various sectors to solve problems. 

If you would like to work together with us on our Educational Outreach Programme, feel free to contact us today to express your interest and find out how you can get involved.
