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. #Festival #STEM #FamilyFun

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. @AfonTaf @CyfarthfaHigh @1Penydre @ColegMerthyr

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. #STEM #STEAM #Feativals #Art #Creative
