CEMAS have collaborated
with Gareth Cavanagh,
Director of Irontown
Interactive, who specialise
in digital animation
and interactive media
production and are based
in Merthyr Tydl.
Gareth recognised that the nature of education
is evolving, and with his background in games
development felt there was an opportunity for a mobile
game that had the potential to be an educational tool.
The app incorporates locations, people and events that
we will never witness the like of again, and from a time
that, unfortunately, many people globally, nationally and
sadly locally, are blissfully unaware of.
By utilizing current video-games technology, it has been
possible to digitally re-create these historic locations and
allow users to interact and engage with them, but more
importantly, learn about Waless historic past. Set in the
mid-19th Century, IRON follows the adventures of Lewys,
a 13 year-old boy, travelling on his own from his family
home in rural mid-Wales, following the path of his absent
father to Irontown; Merthyr Tydl.

The IRON app is the rst chapter in the realisation
of this concept and I cannot thank CEMAS
enough for the work the team has put into the
development and nal realisation. Its safe to say
that I could not have got to this stage without
them. Working with CEMAS has been an absolute
gift. Their professionalism, coupled with a team of
extremely talented Designers, Programmers and
Project Co-ordinators have brought my original
concept to full fruition and we are now ready to
launch it to the public.
