CSI Journey: A Crime Scene Comes to Your School

There’s been a heist at the Diamond Centre. Now your pupils are the investigators. Our CSI Journey transforms your school into a fully interactive crime scene. Children dust for fingerprints, examine fibres and footprints and learn how real science helps solve real-life crimes.

They suit up with gloves and masks, gather evidence and work as a team to solve the mystery of the stolen Venus Diamond.

Why it works:
– Encourages analytical thinking and investigation skills
– Makes science relevant to the real world
– Easily fits into science or topic weeks
– Builds confidence in teamwork and logical thinking

Jurassic Dig Journey: Unearth the Prehistoric World

Give pupils the chance to become junior palaeontologists as they dig through sand to uncover ancient fossils. Our Augmented Reality app lets them bring Stegosauruses and T-Rexes to life with scale comparisons to humans, helping them understand size, movement and features.

Make the day extra memorable by booking a visit from Reggie the T-Rex. This full-sized animatronic dinosaur walks, roars and impresses pupils of all ages. He can appear as part of the Dig Journey or headline a whole-school assembly.

WW2 Codebreaking Journey: History That Makes You Think
