ER So what do you think that Techniquest brings that you can't get at school in terms of the schools based learning, in all sorts of ways, exhibits and shows and so on.

CW. Yeah, I think it's partly, just the fact that we've got, we can do things, sort of big and visual, so, I think, visual impact is, is a very important part of what goes on. So, we've got the, got the finance to be able to do things in larger than life sort of way, really. And also we've got, quite a few things we do are maybe not safe to do with a, in the classroom so. So, that, that's part of it as well, there are things we can do here that they can't do there. Things like, I can, I mean I can borrow a load of stuff from the museum and have, you know I mean, this show, this storytime we're doing now you know, we've got lots of, lots of stuffed animals from the museum, you know so when we're talking about in the woods we've got, all the different creatures and things, you know. And, so, it's - yeah, it's being able to sort of give, I suppose a visual impact is a, a big part of it really.
