“I think it gives them [children] the confidence to try things, and to really see things in a different way… It’s okay sometimes if things don’t work out the way you think they’re going to work out, because you can do it again, or you can learn from it. And it’s about asking questions, and just thinking ‘I wonder…'”

– Julie Orr, primary school teacher at Ballydown Primary School

“I don’t believe in technology for technology’s sake… You only use it when it adds to or enriches the creative experience.’

– Vine Haugh, artist
