STEM Workshops for Northamptonshire Schools

STEM workshops are some of our most popular experiences for Northamptonshire primary schools.

As a Northampton-based company, we are proud to deliver workshops in a county with a strong scientific heritage. Nobel Prize-winning scientist Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the DNA double helix, was born in Weston Favell — just a short distance from where Giant Journeys is based today.

Our immersive STEM workshops encourage children to explore science through exciting real-world experiences that support curiosity, creativity and active learning.

Popular STEM and science-themed workshops include:

Dinosaur and fossil workshops

VR educational experiences

Space and planet workshops

Interactive history and exploration experiences

These workshops are designed to support KS1 and KS2 pupils while helping schools create engaging enrichment opportunities linked to the curriculum.

Creating Memorable Learning Experiences

Schools regularly tell us how much pupils retain from the experience after the workshop has finished.

“What an incredible, rich learning experience – our children were completely absorbed from beginning to end! Reggie the T-Rex was an absolute showstopper… The children were transfixed by all the fossils and fantastic dinosaur facts and left the assembly brimming with excitement and knowledge.”

— Fiona Sanchez, Spratton Hall School

“What an amazing day we’ve had! The children absolutely loved the dinosaurs coming to visit us at school. It was so lovely to hear all the children shouting and laughing, knowing that they were all learning at the same time.”

— Nikki Shearman, Rectory Farm Primary School
