This week sees the start of #NationalCodingWeek. National Coding Week is dedicated to inspiring individuals of all ages to learn and embrace coding skills. Many thanks to all of our STEM Ambassadors who are supporting schools during this awareness week. #Coding #AI #Technology

STEM for Britain poster competition is now open. stemforbritain.org.uk

Take a look at our ESERO (European Space Education Resource Base) Competition page, as September sees the registration dates for both Primary and Secondary competitions. @ukspaceagency.bsky.social @esa.int www.stem.org.uk/esero #Space #ESERO #SpaceInWales

We can't believe it's been a month since MSF. We hope you all enjoyed yourself, drop us a comment, tell us what you enjoyed, or what you'd like to see at the next festival.

We asked local schools to submit some STEM themed artwork to be displayed at the festival. What a joyous job it was, displaying these. #STEM #STEAM #Feativals #Art #Creative

Only 3 days!!!! 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 . @BSGCT #WAVU #RSC #WCRC

5 days and counting..... We also have HDRUK who will be attending the festival. They'll be bringing two table top activities including a speed lego sorting activity & a hook-a-duck activity....... #Lego!!!!! Who doesn't love Lego. We can't wait.

We're looking forward to being at Merthyr Science Festival next weekend. We have some new activities we're bring along which we can't wait for you to try out.

Only 2 weeks to go!!!!! We will also have the Geologists Association joining us...how lucky are we. "We will exhibit an " extinction" table game, a "Match the minerals to the materials" challenge, specimens of rocks & minerals" #SciComm #Festival #STEM

Only 3 weeks to go!!!!!! Who wants to make their own re-entry shield?? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋‍♂️🙋🏿‍♂️. We're very lucky to have Space Forge join us this year. #Scicomm #STEM #Festivals #FamilyFun

With only 4 weeks to go 😲 we'd love to introduce the Viral ImmunoTherapies and Advanced therapeutics Lab (VITAL) group who will be hosting their "Fighting cancer using viruses" stand. We look forward to seeing the Virus Tinkerers there. #Scicomm #Research #STEM #Outreach #CommunityEngagement

I love getting feedback like this when so many of us are trying to break down barriers and highlight that there is more to a hospital than doctors and nurses. The printed x-rays were a hit, thank you @claireprice.bsky.social @ibmscience.bsky.social #Attheheartofhealthcare #BiomedicalScience

Wait...what?!?! Only 5 weeks to go!!!! The South East Wales branch of the IBMS will be joining us. Come along to do a periodic table puzzle, play with some mock specimens, make a DNA bracelet and construct a DNA model. @ibmscience.bsky.social #STEM #Science #Festivals #FamilyFun

6 weeks to go..... We'll also have some mini exhibits from Techniquest. How exciting!!!!! We all love Techniquest, and we can't wait to see what they'll bring along. #Scicomm #STEM #Festival #Family #FamilyFun

I had a great day at Snowdonia Space Centre. There were a couple of launches and a tour of the new testing facilities. Such an asset to the growing space sector in Wales.

We're looking forward to attending the Snowdonia Space Centre tomorrow for their official launch. Great news and exciting times for the growing space sector in Wales at the moment. #STEM #Networking #Space #STEMAmbassadors

7 weeks today is Merthyr Science Festival. Aidan Seeley & team from SWIRL Swansea Uni will be there with their "Drunk worms" showing the effect of alcohol. How exciting and interesting. We can't wait to see some drunk worms. #STEM #Scicomm #Research #Festival #FamilyFun

We need a name for our new mascot. Comment any suggestions and be in with a chance of winning a prize. #Ooo #Exciting #Prizes #Competition

It's only a little over 7 weeks until the festival, and we are busy preparing behind the scenes. Over the next few weeks, we're going to introduce a few people who will be attending, so watch this space. #Exciting #STEM #Festival #NameOurMascot

Now this is the life I was built for. #Cheers #Sunshine #Relaxing

This is Flight Leutenant Robert Coventry, a pilot in WW2. As his plane was crashing, he steered the plane away from a primary school full of children. One of those children was my grandad. #NotAllHeroesWearCapes #VEDay #Hero

Happy Star Wars Day everyone

We're on countdown.....9 weeks today will be Merthyr Science Festival. Take a look at our website to see who will be there. www.merthyrsciencefestival.co.uk #Excited #SciComm #STEM #FamilyFun

Please meet our new mascot. However we need your help! Our mascot doesn't have a name. Submit your suggestions and be in with a chance to win a prize.

Well thank you @newadventures.bsky.social for another emotional show. Please tell me that me and my mum aren't the only ones in tears after watching Swan Lake. What a beautiful performance. @matthewbourne.bsky.social #ballet #MothersDayTreat #Emotional #SwanLake

Today is #EarthDay, it's a day to raise awareness of climate change, biodiversity, and ecosystems. Earth Day is a way to explain and make us aware of how our actions can have positive impact. @earthdayorg.bsky.social #EarthDay #EarthDay2025 #OurPowerOurPlanet

Our STEM Ambassadors are amazing. Thank you for giving your time, you have such a positive impact on everyone you engage with #ThankYou #Volunteering #STEM

I was invited to speak at the Wales Women in STEM event. Very flattered to have been asked but very nervous as I sit among inspiring women who are either accomplished in their career or just starting. #WomenInSTEM #STEM #Nervous #VeryNervous

I can't believe these are 3D printed. I'm so excited to use these with the light box to help explain decalcification and how it's used in the lab. Thank you @claireprice.bsky.social these are amazing. @ibmscience.bsky.social #BiomedicalScience #Histology #Lab #NHS

@raytheontech.bsky.social Quadcopter Challenge is now open to student ages 11-13, the challenge is a STEM-based engineering challenge to design and build an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Information & entry form can be found here acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:... ENTRY CLOSES 11/4 #GoodLuck

Time to celebrate #HealthcareScienceWeek which runs alongside #BritishScienceWeek.

As today is International Women's Day it's important we celebrate the women before us who have paved the way and fought for us. It's also important to celebrate the men in our lives who champion and celebrate our achievements.

Today is the start of #BritishScienceWeek, a 10 day celebration of all things #STEM. A huge thank you to our incredible team who help to deliver activitirs at festivals and workshops to schools across S.Wales #YouRock

Crikey, I can't wait to start using this. This is a 3D printed x-ray that will be perfect to use with a decal workshop @showmethesci.bsky.social have developed. Thank you so much @claireprice.bsky.social, you're brilliant

Happy St Davids Day everyone. Hope you have a great day full of tea and welsh cakes. #StDavidsDay #Welsh #Wales

Oo looking forward to sitting down later with a glass of wine to start reading this 📖 📚🍷

How was your Friday?? Mine was spent building LEGO!!!! Can't believe I'm paid to do this😂😂 #Lucky #LEGO #FirstLegoLeague #STEM

Got home to this email from @imascientist.org.uk, just a lovely snippet of a chat I had earlier today. It's lovely to be able to look back at the conversations we've had with students. #STEM #STEMAmbassadors #BiomedicalScience #Pathology

Had a lovely time watching #Hamilton, what an amazing production. #Theatre #Musicals
