We had such great engagement from local primary schools at Merthyr Science Festival, it would be great to see some local secondary schools involved in this.

We asked local schools to submit some.e STEM themed art work to be displayed at the festival. What a joyous job it was, displaying these.

We wouldn't have been able to deliver the festival we wanted to without our brilliant sponsors.

Thank you, we're able to bring STEM into a community that will really benefit from this engagement .
