BAE Systems Global Combat Systems Munitions at Glascoed has today agreed to support XLWales’ Invention & Discovery Roadshows. The roadshows promote science, design, technology, maths and ICT across South and West Wales. The £5,000 donation will help provide core funding for nearly 250 roadshows at selected Welsh primary schools. The roadshows, which started in September 2011, will end in June 2012. It is estimated that over 18,000 children (aged 3 to 11) will participate and will benefit from the additional services and education being offered.
Huw Samuel, Glascoed General Manager observed: “These roadshows generate great interest amongst children in subjects which are important to us when we are looking for future employees. By helping to develop their skills and interest at an early age, we hope that some of the children will consider a future career in science, engineering & technology.”
Julie Samuel, Schools Road Shows Director, XLWales welcomed BAE Systems support and said: “We are very pleased that BAE Systems has agreed to sponsor our Schools Roadshow. It really will make a big difference.”
