Collaborative Projects

Techniquest are the perfect partner for us with values and a mission that closely align with our own. Over the past few years, our collaboration has created opportunities for Welsh schools to connect with global STEM role models, sharing their journeys and inspiring the next generation. Our mission is to make a real impact on the careers awareness of pupils by offering authentic insight into the everyday lives of diverse and relatable STEM professionals. Through these projects, over 1000 pupils will gain a greater understanding of how STEM opens doors to exciting and rewarding careers.
