Interactive Learning, On-Site at Your Preston School

Every workshop is planned with the school day in mind. We shape the content and activities to match each age and ability group, and we bring all the specialist equipment with us. There is no prep work, no tech stress and no extra burden on your teaching day. VR headsets, props, materials and displays are all provided.

We can run sessions in your school hall, classroom or studio space. Here are a few of the workshops available to Preston schools:

CSI Journey

Students become forensic scientists for the day, solving a fictional jewel heist. Activities include collecting fingerprints and other evidence, reconstructing DNA samples, analysing patterns in blood spatters and using logical reasoning to solve the mystery. Packed with scientific thinking and teamwork, this is a highly engaging way to deliver key science objectives.

Jurassic Dig Journey

In this hands-on workshop, pupils unearth dinosaur bones from sandboxes and analyse what they uncover. They can then bring each species to life with Augmented Reality. Children can examine the size of a Stegosaurus, discover the diet of a T-Rex and meet Reggie, our animatronic dinosaur. This full-day workshop supports science, geography and history content focused on prehistoric life.

WW2 Codebreaking Journey

Transport your class to wartime Britain for a day of decoding enemy messages. Students use Morse code through movement, attempt Enigma-style challenges and explore real communication tactics from the Second World War. This workshop blends PE and problem-solving while building historical knowledge.

More Memorable Learning Experiences Available

Our full list of curriculum-friendly workshops continues with exciting topics and formats for every year group:

Human Body VR Journey

Pupils go on a journey through the human body using Virtual Reality. They can follow the path of air through the lungs, see the digestive system in motion and identify bones while assembling a life-sized skeleton. This session is perfect for biology and health science units.

Under the Sea VR Journey

Using cinematic VR, students dive into ocean ecosystems where they’ll swim with sea turtles, dolphins and sharks. Alongside building knowledge of food chains and habitats, it strengthens children’s awareness of climate and environmental impact.

Sport and VR Journey

Perfect for Olympic year themes, pupils explore key cultural sites in their selected Olympic country before visiting Ancient Olympia in full 3D. The session ends with Olympic-style physical activity to promote healthy movement and cross-curricular learning.

Miniworlds VR Journey

Children shrink down to insect size in this journey that explores habitats from leaf litter to underground tunnels. Through VR, they discover insect species, compare life cycles and build understanding around biodiversity and food webs.

Led by an expert Indian dancer, this creative workshop combines cultural learning and physical movement. Pupils learn steps from the traditional Kathak style, explore costumes and are introduced to music and storytelling from Indian celebrations like Diwali.
