Hands-On Learning That Makes an Impact

Each of our workshops is mapped to the UK curriculum with a strong emphasis on active participation. Whether you need something for Science Week, cross-curricular enrichment, or to reinforce a particular topic, our team will ensure your pupils are learning through doing.

We provide all the technology, materials and workshop facilitation. Sessions are held one class at a time in school halls or large classrooms, and we adapt according to your schedule, age group and access needs to reduce any disruption during the school day.

By blending physical activities with immersive tech and storytelling, learners absorb and retain knowledge more easily. The hands-on and interactive nature of our workshops helps children remain engaged, comfortable and curious.

Popular Workshops for Bradford Schools

CSI Journey: A Forensic Science Challenge

A diamond has gone missing. Eight realistic suspects. One class to crack the case. Pupils take on the role of forensic scientists using real investigative techniques such as:

– DNA construction using colourful models

– Identifying suspects through fingerprint analysis

– Analysing fibres and blood patterns for clues

The session ends with a collaborative reveal where pupils must justify who they believe committed the theft. It’s an exciting way to show how science solves real-world problems and strengthens critical thinking and teamwork skills.

Jurassic Dig Journey: Unearth Prehistoric Life

Perfect for dinosaur enthusiasts or those exploring Earth’s history, this session turns your classroom into an archaeological dig site. Using sandboxes and excavation tools, children uncover fossils, classify prehistoric species and ask questions about the world millions of years ago. Then, using Augmented Reality, they bring ancient creatures to life right before their eyes.

To extend the excitement, you can add an appearance by Reggie the T-Rex, our full-size animatronic dinosaur who roars, stomps and interacts with your class.

WW2 Codebreaking Journey: History Meets Logic

Imagine holding the secret to an Allied victory. In this lively session, pupils step into 1940s Britain to decode top-secret German messages using a mixture of hands-on cipher activities and logic-based problem solving. They learn to:

– Communicate using Morse Code and movement

– Break encryption patterns used during WWII

– Work together to crack codes and save lives

This workshop blends historical knowledge with modern-day skills like logic, communication and persistence, offering a fresh perspective on the past.

Explore More Curriculum-Focused VR Workshops

Our VR-enhanced workshops support curriculum learning in science, history, geography, PSHE and culture. Children learn through seeing, hearing and doing, helping build stronger connections to scholastic content. Popular sessions include:

Human Body VR Journey

Children travel inside the human body and explore systems like the lungs, heart and digestion using VR headsets. After the virtual journey, pupils reconstruct a life-sized skeleton with hands-on tools that reinforce anatomy and scientific observation.

Miniworlds VR Journey

This workshop zooms into ecosystems through a VR lens. Pupils examine mini-habitats from ground level to canopy and learn about minibeasts, lifecycles and food chains. It’s ideal for science topics focusing on nature and biodiversity.

Indian Dance Journey

Led by a professional dancer, this workshop introduces the basics of Kathak – a traditional North Indian dance style known for rhythm, storytelling and graceful movement. Pupils learn cultural expression through rhythm and posture. The session works well during Diwali celebrations or as global learning enrichment.

Sport and VR Journey

Pupils pick a country, explore landmarks through VR, travel to Ancient Greece, then compete in Olympic-style challenges such as laser-based sprints. This is a full-body learning experience that builds confidence, movement and global awareness.

Expand Learning with Our Complete VR Experiences

Our immersive VR journeys give your pupils the opportunity to travel beyond the classroom without ever leaving the school. Proven favourites include:

– Space VR Journey: Learn about gravity, planets and space travel

– Under the Sea VR Journey: Dive into ocean life and coral reef ecosystems

– Jurassic Dig Journey: Pairing fossil discovery with Augmented Reality

Our sessions include everything you need – from VR kits to props, costumes and AR books. Each session is tailored to one class to maximise interaction and learning quality.
