Cae'r Her · The Challenge Field · Her Sgiliau Cymru
Young people solve Wales's skills gaps themselves. Any year group, primary or secondary. The winning idea gets funded and built for real.
The first Cylfaa Challenge is open for school registrations now.
Sut mae'n gweithio · How it works
Every student takes the Which Owl Are You? quiz.
A team of owls, one for each Byd, with a Mentro who leads and a Lliw who makes sure every voice is heard.
Your idea to close a real Welsh skills gap: a game, a session, a tool or a way in.
Funded by local businesses and delivered back to the school with its name on it.
Y rheolau · The rules
Short and fair, so every team starts in the same place. Dates, deadlines, judging and prizes are confirmed with each challenge and sent to registered schools.
Canolfan Iechyd · Health and safety
Canolfan Iechyd sets the safety rules for any site visit or practical build. Your school's own policies always apply, and a teacher is with the team on every visit.
The first petition · Y ddeiseb gyntaf
Atom lives alone at the water's edge, looking across at a name one letter from Cylfaa. The first challenge comes from his Byd: the nuclear skills Wales needs for the new Wylfa build on Ynys Môn.
Full details of the brief go to registered schools first.
Dewis dy Fyd · Pick your Byd
Every home is a sector of Welsh work with its own pack. Your team's idea will close a skills gap in one of them.
