About Go Fly Your Kite

Thank you so much for taking the time to rate us on Trust Pilot we really appreciate it very much. Go Fly Your Kite was an idea from Director, Glenn Heasley's four year old son, who when he was bought his own kite in a shop said to his Dad, "wouldn't it be great if I could draw on this kite?" Go Fly Your Kite was born. Now in our sixth year of business Go Fly Your Kite deliver workshops to children, young people and adults to over 25,000 participants a year due to our unique Art and Science (STEM) workshops all over the UK and Ireland. Working with primary schools, youth organisations, science festivals, birthday parties, corporate workshops, Alzheimers and dementia groups. Partnering with organisations such as Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), RDS, Dublin, Stena LIne, Historical Palaces, RTE Science, Space & Maths Week events and ESB Science Blast to name a few! Our workshops are based on fun through learning with a "can do" approach for age groups 3 to 93 years old! The concept is trace, colour, construct and fly an ageless activity that still receives gasps of WOW in our workshops when their bespoke kite takes off.

They were at the Knock family fun day. Despite being extremely busy they ensured every child got to design, create and assemble their own personalised kite. The children were thrilled. They were extremely professional and helpful. A brilliant creative addition to family fun days events, parties etc. Well done to all.

My 7-year-old, who is heavily into science, had a fantastic time at the workshop! He was absolutely gripped throughout and has had so much fun flying his kite. Highly recommended!

Overall the workshop was fantastic. The pre-organisation was excellent and made it very straight forward for me as the class teacher to help the students with making their kites. The zoom lesson which gave the children an insight into the history of flying was very informative and at a level where they could comprehend the information. The children really enjoyed the workshop and had a great time maki their kites. The workshop exceeded my expectations with the content, it’s interactive nature and the high quality materials given to make the kites. I would absolutely recommend this workshop to any teacher and would love to do it with my future classes.

Our overall experience was excellent. The pre-organisation of the workshop prior to the "live" workshop was very comprehensive. We had two different age groups taking part. The science content of the lesson was very well tailored so that both groups were learning material appropriate to their age. The children loved the workshop. They especially enjoyed the merging of the artistic element into a STEM project. They had a great time flying their end products and were proud of what they had created. The workshop definitely exceeded our expectations and we would be interested in Go Fly Your Kite running another workshop for our school in the future. I would be happy to recommend Go Fly Your Kite to other colleagues in our school.

I found this workshop really enjoyable for my pupils. They loved creating their own kites and picking their own designs. From photos sent in, they looked to have had great fun outside flying them. I would really recommend this workshop to others.

The workshop was well prepared, paced and pitched at the perfect level for my class. The children thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience and were so proud of their finished kites. The quality of the finished product was superb and the children really enjoyed getting outdoors and flying their kites - they were thrilled at how well they could fly. I would definitely recommend the workshop to others.

The zoom lesson was clear and the facilitators delivered to the childrens' level. Preparation was completed before the lesson through teacher lesson. The resources were excellent. The length of the lesson was perfect and all children were engaged. A lovely innformative visual video on topic delivered also.. The workshop exceeded my expectations as a teacher bringing all the elements you need for an engaging lesson ie, child centered, engaging , purposeful, informative and creative. I would love to engage in other workshops with Go Fly your Kite in the future. and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed this workshop. All aspects of the Fly Your Kite workshop were very well organised, from the pre-organisation meetings with the staff to the live Zoom workshop. The workshop was pitched at the correct level for our pupils and they very much enjoyed this learning experience. The host of the workshop was very engaging and he managed to grab the attention of all of our pupils. I would highly recommend the Fly Your Kite workshop to other schools and I would have no hesitation in booking another workshop for our school in the future. Sincere thanks to all involved.

Pre organisation of the workshop was very comprehensive and informative. The class teacher was given a great understanding as to what would be happening during the "live" workshop Workshop science content was suitable for all the children and there was a more than adequate amount of content. The children really enjoyed the workshop. It was very engaging. They also really enjoyed the practical aspect of designing and building their own kite. The workshop was very interesting and most definitely exceeded my expectations. Yes, I would certainly be interested in participating in another workshop involving Go Fly Your Kite in the future. Yes, I would definitely recommend Go Fly Your Kite to other staff members in my school.
