To celebrate 40 years of discovery, we’ve asked anyone who loves Techniquest to submit their memories and photos to us.

And while we’ve already received some wonderful submissions, it’s not just our visitors who’ve been involved.

Kim Sellwood, who grew up in Cardiff Bay and joined our team in January as a Presenter Coach, visited us many times in her youth and considers these visits a formative influence on her STEM journey.

Read what she had to say below:

Kim will also be bringing her environmental "busking" skills to Techniquest on weekends and through the Summer holidays - we can't wait! ☀️

We’ve asked anyone who loves Techniquest to submit their memories and photos to us, and while we’ve already received some wonderful submissions, it’s not just our visitors who’ve gotten involved.
