I was amazed at the engagement of the students and the cooperation shown with others. It was also a very interesting programme enjoyed by students and teachers alike.

It works for all ages and a multitude of possible trail ideas. It can be done alone, in pairs and in groups and encourages many vital employability and essential skills

- Slightly reduces teacher workload“The workshops from TA take time out from teachers, as can the visits.”
- Moderately improves behaviour or wellbeing“Computing Students often don't get out and about, so treasure apps helps them learn about their environment and makes them healthier as they do”
- Moderately encourage-leaderships
- Significantly improves creativity and critical thinking“The TA app requires media elements such as video, audio and requires to be designed ”
