Techniquest Glyndŵr

“The opportunity to work with the LEGO and control laptop was excellent. The time spent within the workshop was perfect – I don’t think I can offer an improvement.”

“The children worked together to solve problems and using LEGO, which they love. Using and introducing new language. Thank you very much it was wonderful, children loved it.”

“The children were able to work collaboratively, programming and adapting, modifying and improving the provided challenge!”

“Linked with the senses. Interaction with the pupils. Liked the Rudolf nose!”

“There was plenty of interaction with the pupils, and it was suitably pitched to them. The timing of activities kept the children focused.”

“The children enjoyed all activities especially when they could take part. All activities were fun and age appropriate. So all aspects were valuable.”

“The pupils were allowed to take part in the show, and they were thoroughly engaged in all activities. It gave them opportunities to explore and discuss.”

“The children were able to explore a range of scientific concepts in an exciting and ‘real’ way.”

“The children were able to work as a team and use what is expensive kit – using control (ICT). It makes a connection with the real world. Very good pace and it was very stretching.”

“It allowed them to carry out activities that are not economically viable in school. I enjoyed the activity, especially the teamwork needed to complete the task.”

“The hands-on activities were fantastic.”

“It was hands-on, totally interactive, challenging and fun!!”

“Working in small groups and getting to test their designs was very valuable to the children – having a challenge and ‘hands on’ play. The presenters were lovely.”

“It was all valuable – the placement of body parts and meanings was good and teeth activity.”

“This gave the children the opportunity to apply maths to real life. The maths show was very useful and done really well. Activities were well supported by TQG staff.”

“The children enjoyed interacting with science activities, in the zones and seeing maths used in tricks. The day has been great fun and has allowed our students to exercise their natural curiosity!”

“Investigating the different types of toys and having examples for them to see and use was very valuable.”

“The activity was very hands-on, and made the lesson relevant to real world and work places.”

“The presenter was engaging and made it fun, with plenty of team work!”

“Organisation of our day was excellent, thank you. All of the content was relative and entertaining. It reinforced the Foundation Phase curriculum. The audience participation was good.
The whole lot went down well!”

“Many thanks, the children and adults all had a fantastic day! It’s been a very hands-on experience and it has helped to consolidate current learning at school. This has been a very worthwhile visit and very well organised by you. Thank you!!!”

“A fun activity which developed their ability to work in groups and boost their confidence in overcoming construction problems.”

“The children discovered how different toys move, which made them think and introduced new words to them, such as ‘gravity’.”

“The pupils enjoyed the whole experience, it was good to explore a more practical element to topics.”

“Access to knowledge through an interesting and stimulating environment.”

“The visual impact and being able to relate the stars in the dome to real experience was invaluable. Excellent activity and presentation. Thank you from all at the school!”

“Being able to have a virtual experience was very valuable, as was the information given by the presenters. Enjoyed by all – thank you.”

“Techniquest came into our school for a day as a part of our Science Week. We had a fantastic Day – thank you. Parents and members of the local community as well as pupils came to the Ten of the Best Shows and then all of the Junior Children enjoyed making Solar Powered fairground rides. Please pass on out thanks, everyone enjoyed and learned a great deal. Thank you. Hopefully we’ll be able to arrange similar events again.”

“The best part was to be outside the classroom environment and have concepts explained and illustrated in a differing way to “the norm”.”

“Novel activities, very interesting topics.”

“Hands on experimental learning – clearly and sympathetically delivered.”

“The practical approach. Children could ‘see’ science at work and this is not always possible in a crammed curriculum.”

“Allowing the children access to practical experiments through volunteering.”

“Many thanks – it was a great success. Dome is a fantastic resource but hands-on aspects and interactivity also a real strength.”

“We couldn’t afford the cost of going to Wrexham – we would love to have this outreach service every term.”

“Being able to see things which are difficult for them to visualise and we are not able to do in the classroom.”

“To raise children’s awareness of space and beyond – super experience within the dome. Raised knowledge. A lovely experience.”
