Techniquest is an educational charity, established in 1986 and based in Cardiff, Wales. Our mission is to engage people with science and to motivate them to learn more and we also address science-related areas such as maths, engineering and technology.
We work extensively with public audiences, and provide a range of services to schools and teachers to complement the formal education provision in Wales.
Techniquest has a world-wide reputation for creating excellent programmes and exhibits, and our staff includes leading experts in science communication.
For our audiences, Techniquest represents a kind of experience that is accessible and stimulating. It will provide choices to suit a range of abilities and interests, and will include surprises, participation, interactivity and discussion wherever possible.
Techniquest operates exhibitions, shows and programmes intended to make science accessible to people throughout Wales, and to improve the quality of public debate about science and technology.
Our main site in Cardiff Bay is a top visitor attraction and provides a comfortable, clear and highly enjoyable experience for all ages. Exhibitions, science theatre, planetarium and much more is on offer.
Visitors can also find the Techniquest ‘experience’ at three other locations in Wales, in Wrexham, Llanberis and Oakwood.
Techniquest takes exhibitions and programmes to special events at many venues around Wales, from shopping malls to major cultural events such as the National Eisteddfod.
We also offer comprehensive education services for schools, plus further activities through schemes such as Wales Gene Park, mathcymru, Science Café Wales and Teacher Science Network.
To provide this range of experiences, Techniquest maintains an active design and development arm, with excellent workshops and facilities. We also work with a range of partners and other experts, and this approach plays a very important part in delivering our mission. Partners include academics, scientists, industry and government, both within Wales and internationally.
