BM: You've not seen any difference like girls being more in certain areas of Techniquest?

HF: You'll find the girls can use exhibits where they can work together more. If there's - if there's an exhibit that is just only person can do it then you are more likely to find a boy at it than you are a girl. Or you'll find that girls will cluster round an exhibit. You know so you tend to get a different, yes, different use of the exhibits perhaps rather than a different level of appeal. Because even - just say for example hydrogen rocket. You can only have one person using it at a time but if you - you can get a bunch of people stood round it - watching what happens ( ) so it yes, I think I think you can - you will see a difference but I don't think it's - I don't think it's particularly based on the science I think it's more just about the way people use things.
