Become a Forensic Expert in the CSI Journey

The CSI Journey is a fun, STEM-focused session where children become forensic investigators. A diamond has gone missing, and pupils must collect DNA, fingerprints, fibres, and other clues before piecing together the mystery to figure out who is responsible.

This interactive session builds problem-solving, teamwork, and scientific thinking while bringing real-world science to life. It is ideal for pupils in Years 3 to 6 and can be adapted to suit different abilities.

Step Back in Time with the Jurassic Dig Journey

One of our most requested workshops is the Jurassic Dig Journey. Pupils uncover mock fossils in excavation boxes, identify dinosaur bones, and use AR to learn about prehistoric creatures in a vivid, exciting way.

This workshop also includes the chance to meet Reggie, our animatronic T. rex. Available as an extra, he adds a major wow factor to the end of the session, making science unforgettable.

Crack Codes in the WW2 Codebreaking Journey

History meets mathematics in the WW2 Codebreaking Journey, where children become young cryptographers decoding secret German messages using tools similar to those at Bletchley Park. They learn Morse code, solve physical challenges, and communicate across teams.

It is energetic, intellectually engaging, and adaptable by year group to support curriculum targets in both history and numeracy.

Explore Science with VR Learning Adventures

Our VR journeys take learning far beyond the classroom. From space and oceans to the circulatory system, we offer topic-specific experiences that allow pupils to see complex systems in action.

Popular tours include:

– Space VR Journey: Children become astronauts and explore the solar system planet by planet.
– Under the Sea VR Journey: Meet ocean creatures up close while learning about habitats, pollution, and food chains.
– Human Body VR Journey: Pupils step inside a virtual body and assemble life-sized skeletons to explore systems and organs.

Bring Sport and Geography Together with the Sport and VR Journey

This active session blends geography, history, and physical education. Pupils virtually visit global landmarks, then head back in time to compete in Ancient Olympia. After the VR segment, children complete Olympic-style games, measuring performance and building teamwork while learning history.

Discover the Mini-Beast World with Miniworlds VR

Ideal for younger year groups, Miniworlds VR introduces pupils to the tiny creatures living around us. From beetles to bees, children explore lifecycles and food chains in an immersive environment that sparks curiosity and builds vocabulary around classification and habitats.

Celebrate Culture with the Indian Dance Journey

Led by professional dancers, this joyful, movement-based session introduces children to Indian culture through Kathak, one of the country’s oldest dance forms. Pupils explore gesture, rhythm, and the stories behind the movements while also learning about customs, celebrations, and traditional dress.

Each performance is inclusive and can be adapted for RE, International Day, or cultural enrichment.
