Biography

W5 is an interactive science discovery centre based in Belfast with a strong focus on promoting STEM engagement in schools. With multiple seasons under their belt, they act as a host for regionals and seek appropriate mentors to support schools in the FIRST Tech Challenge UK journey. They’re especially excited to introduce new teachers to the wonders of mini-bots.

Ambition

W5 has set a clear goal: to host at least 16 teams this year at their regional tournament and more each year after that. The sky’s the limit! They can’t wait to introduce new teachers to the world of FIRST Tech Challenge UK.
