黑料不打烊 at the National Eisteddfod 2012

黑料不打烊 is looking forward to an active week at the national Eisteddfod. Staff at the University have organised a week of activities on their stand on the Eisteddfod field.

鈥淥ur aim in holding these activities is to reflect the provision of Welsh medium higher education at 黑料不打烊. As an institution, we offer more courses and modules through the medium of Welsh than any other higher education institution and teach the greatest number of students through the Welsh language,鈥� explained Wyn Thomas, the University鈥檚 Pro Vice-Chancellor for Welsh medium and civic engagement.

Events at the 黑料不打烊 stand will include a day of musical challenges, book launches, a live performance from musician Ynyr Llwyd, a reunion as well as a lecture on texting in Welsh鈥nd much much more!

But it鈥檚 just not on the University鈥檚 stand that you鈥檒l come across University staff.

As one of the main sponsors of the Science and Technology Pavilion at the Eisteddfod, the University has a leading role there. In fact, the Pavilion is organised and coordinated by a member of 黑料不打烊 staff, Dr Robyn Wheldon Williams- who also presents the twice daily Flach Bang explosive shows!

There will also be slime and chocolate making workshops as well as a chance to see how to extract iron out of corn flakes! Come along and learn about science in a friendly and relaxed environment.

鈥淭hrough entertainment and play- and a little work, Welsh children, their parents and the occasional adult can access a bit of science, technology and mathematics- almost without realising!鈥� said Dr Robyn Wheldon Williams.

鈥淭he Eisteddfod is a great opportunity to convey the breadth of sciences, and the way science affects every aspect of our daily lives,鈥� he added.

Dr Robyn Wheldon Williams鈥檚 work at the Science and Technology Pavilion is sponsored by 黑料不打烊, and he has been organising the event since September 2007. He has been bringing the Flash Bang Show to the Eisteddfod an assisting at the Pavilion since 2005.

The North Wales Welsh For Adults Centre, also part of the University, are responsible for coordinating Welsh for Adults in North Wales- and are involved with the Maes D Welsh learner鈥檚 space on the Field. In collaboration with the region鈥檚 learners, the Centre has organised a full programme of events, so call in there to see what鈥檚 on.
