Why Choose Our Workshops for Your Rugby School

Our approach is simple. We combine storytelling, interactive technology, and live facilitation to build unforgettable learning journeys. Workshops are delivered by trained educators, tailored to suit different year groups, and can be adapted for SEN pupils if needed.

We arrive with everything required, from high-tech VR setups to life-size animatronic dinosaurs and interactive materials.

Each workshop:

– Is structured by classroom size and year group
– Supports National Curriculum targets in STEM, geography, and history
– Makes strong use of Augmented and Virtual Reality for deeper immersion
– Promotes collaboration, communication, and problem-solving

CSI Journey: Forensic Science Comes Alive

Pupils assume the role of crime scene investigators, hunting for clues behind the daring theft of the Venus Diamond. The experience begins with scientific training, where children analyse DNA, fibres, and fingerprint evidence. Then it is time to tape off the scene and apply everything they have learned.

This is an ideal addition for STEM events or an engaging extension to your science units. It gets pupils moving, thinking critically, and working as a team using real-world forensic methods.

Jurassic Dig Journey: A Prehistoric Expedition

Grab a trowel and explore like a young palaeontologist. In our Jurassic Dig Journey, pupils uncover fossil replicas of some of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered. They investigate bones in large sandboxes, then bring ancient creatures to life through Augmented Reality.

Curious about what a Triceratops ate or how big a T-Rex actually was? Pupils can compare themselves to life-sized graphics and animations that show scale in a vivid and memorable way.

WW2 Codebreaking Journey: History Meets Cryptography

This workshop offers a unique way for pupils to engage with history by diving into Britain’s WWII wartime intelligence efforts. It begins with a hands-on Morse code activity, followed by an exploration of the logic and maths that helped crack the Enigma code.

By blending drama, problem-solving and historic context, this experience helps children understand the global significance of codebreaking and the human stories behind the calculations.

More Ways to Engage with Rugby School Workshops

Our workshops go beyond history and science. Many schools in Rugby also love our experiences in dance, sport, and anatomy.

The Indian Dance Journey introduces pupils to the storytelling and energy of the Kathak dance. With rhythm, movement and expressive gestures, children explore Indian culture while getting active in a fun and creative way.

The Sport and VR Journey combines fitness with history. Pupils take a virtual tour of Olympic sites past and present, then time travel to Ancient Greece to explore the earliest games. It ends in a fast-paced laser sprint challenge that always lifts energy levels.

The Human Body VR Journey takes students inside the circulatory and digestive systems through immersive technology. Pupils use VR to explore anatomy, then build a complete skeleton using life-sized parts. It is engaging, practical and incredibly impactful.

Bringing Nature into the Classroom

We have seen how much pupils enjoy VR journeys focused on nature and the environment. That is why we offer stunning sessions like Under the Sea VR, Miniworlds, and Space VR.

Each experience turns your school hall into a new world. Pupils dive with dolphins, explore insect colonies, or soar through the solar system. These sessions pair with science and geography topics to offer deep exploration through immersive visuals.

Workshop highlights include:

– Under the Sea VR: Explore coral reefs, learn about marine biodiversity, and the need for conservation
– Miniworlds VR: Discover underground ecosystems packed with insect life and plant interaction
– Space VR: Visit planets, stars, and moons to build foundational astronomy knowledge

Every session is designed around your lesson schedule and delivered by a skilled team member. All materials and equipment are provided and set up on-site.

Add Impact with Our Dinosaur Visit Assembly

One of our most memorable experiences is the Dinosaur Visit Assembly. Pupils meet Reggie, our animatronic T-Rex, who walks, blinks and roars through your school hall. This jaw-dropping show works as a standalone event or alongside the Jurassic Dig Journey.

With costume baby dinosaurs and real fossils to examine, it creates unforgettable excitement and links ancient history with modern science in a way that pupils truly remember.
