Testimonial: "FifeX has been an extremely important partner in our preparations for a summer science exhibition at the Royal Society in 2007. They provided crucial guidance at very step during the lengthy preparations. They were able to understand our vision and help us implement it. We appreciated their capability of responding to special requirements, such as working directly with our workshop. As a result of this process they produced a set of interactives, which all worked very well and which were visually highly appealing. Many thanks"
