Astrocymru

Our workshops motivate learners to study STEAM by engaging them with “big science”. We expose students to what science is really like and encourage them to continue studying STEAM subjects in school and beyond. Our stunning 3D shows are captivating and informative. The visual impact of the high-tech delivery mechanism will ensure that it captures the attention of students of all ages and abilities. AstroCymru is passionate to raise pupil attainment levels by promoting the many different careers in the space industry from astronauts to various space scientists and engineers through various hands on workshops. Funded by the Welsh Government in 2013 AstroCymru started as project set up by Dr Paul Roche and Emma Wride as part of an outreach arm of the Astronomy Dept. at the University of S. Wales, delivering astronomy related workshops to schools across Wales. Further funding in 2015 allowed the project to expand and become part of the Physics and Astronomy Dept. at Cardiff University. Since 2018 AstroCymru has been a commercial company, continuing to deliver exciting and inspirational STEAM educational programmes to primary and secondary schools, festivals and public events.
