We offer a diverse collection of immersive workshops to suit a wide range of teaching topics and seasonal themes.
The CSI Journey transforms pupils into forensic detectives for the day. They investigate a realistic crime scene inside your school, analysing DNA strands, fingerprints, and fibre samples. This hands-on science session builds teamwork and investigation skills while making learning highly interactive.
In the Jurassic Dig Journey, young explorers unearth fossils and encounter dinosaurs through Augmented Reality. The highlight is meeting Reggie the T-Rex, a huge animatronic dinosaur who adds showstopping excitement to the day. It is the perfect workshop for classrooms exploring prehistoric life or natural history.
Our WW2 Codebreaking Journey lets children dive into the history of wartime espionage. Guided by an expert facilitator, pupils take part in decoding secret messages, mastering Morse Code, and participating in active movement games that make history come alive.
Birmingham schools looking to wow pupils with tech-led learning might explore our Human Body VR or Under the Sea VR journeys. These sessions use Virtual Reality to transport pupils into complex environments. Whether assembling a skeleton or diving into an ocean reef, the outcomes are memorable, engaging, and tied back to key science targets.
Every school has its own structure, priorities and pupil needs. That is why flexibility is built into everything we deliver. We can provide up to six sessions per day, working around your bell times, space and class arrangements to ensure a smooth and supported experience for your team.
Our facilitators handle everything from set-up to pack-down and can easily transition between smaller groups or whole-class formats. Our workshops are also inclusive and can be adjusted to accommodate the abilities, ages or specific needs of your pupils. Whether supporting a SEN focus or mixed-age cohort, we ensure all learners can take part fully.
Our focus is not on novelty but on creating experiences that make a difference. We design our journeys to help learners think deeper, ask questions and see curriculum topics in a new light.
Birmingham schools continue to rebook our workshops year after year. Why? Because they see the difference it makes. Our topics are built to strengthen engagement and understanding in a way that flat resources and workbooks cannot.
For example, during a recent Science Week at one Birmingham primary school, our Space VR Journey launched pupils into the solar system through headsets and storytelling. The follow-up session, MiniWorlds VR, shrunk pupils into the insect kingdom for close-up encounters with minibeasts. Teachers noted increased curiosity, thoughtful questions and more meaningful conversations in the classroom afterwards.
Every workshop is intended to inspire and to support deep learning. From dinosaur digs to digital codebreaking, the hands-on approach increases knowledge retention and boosts enjoyment of core subjects.
It is not always easy to find external visitors who truly complement your curriculum. With Giant Journeys, your pupils benefit from an enriched experience that feels like a trip, but everything happens safely inside your school building.
Each journey is created to offer excitement, discovery and whole-class collaboration. From maths and science to history and health, our immersive sessions let you approach topics in new, meaningful ways.
