Combining Technology and History: Technocamps and Theatr na nÓg Collaboration

Paige JenningsNews, News and Events, Video

We’re thrilled to share our video showcasing this year’s Technocamps x Theatr na nÓg collaboration! Using micro:bits, participants explored the power of training data, tying it to the powerful story of The Fight.

Set in the 1930s, The Fight sheds light on the life of Merthyr-born boxer Cuthbert Taylor, whose journey reflects resilience and determination. Despite his immense talent, Cuthbert was unjustly barred from a British title shot due to the colour of his skin—a reminder of the challenges faced in the fight for equality.


“Excellent Workshop, very fun, informative and interactive. Very important to talk about racism.”

Our workshop brings together the spirit of innovation and storytelling, teaching valuable STEM skills while honouring the history of this incredible story.


“A really fun activity to do in school and really helped me understand it (programming micro:bits) better, please come again.”

Watch now to see how we connected technology and history in this unique collaboration!
