Techkwadraat grant for a visit to The Discovery Factory

On a Voyage of Discovery with Techkwadraat

Good news for all primary schools! With the Techkwadraat grant it is now easier than ever to bring technology education to life. We invite schools to use these funds for an unforgettable school trip to The Discovery Factory. Because let’s face it: the best inventors are not born behind school desks, but in practice!

Why the world outside the school walls makes the difference

Learning does not stop at the classroom door. In fact, a trip to The Discovery Factory offers benefits that are hard to match in the classroom:

Stimulating the senses: our inspiring surroundings switch pupils’ brains to ‘on’.

Breaking patterns: outside the familiar walls, children often dare to do more. The pupil who is quiet in class sometimes turns out to be the most creative builder here.

Context and relevance: technology becomes tangible. It is no longer a picture in a book, but a self-built invention that is relevant to the pupils’ own world.

How does it work?

The Techkwadraat grant is intended to bring pupils into closer contact with technology. A visit to The Discovery Factory fits in perfectly. Whether it is making a feature film, building a sustainable invention or discovering the power of air, we provide a programme that matches the core objectives of primary education.

“A day at The Discovery Factory gives pupils a boost in self-confidence. They discover talents they did not know they had.”

Will you come and build the future with us?
