Imagine your pupils stepping into a real-world crime investigation. In our CSI Journey, children become junior detectives using science to solve a diamond theft. Working in teams, they collect and analyse evidence including fingerprints, footprint impressions, fabric fibres and DNA built from colourful building blocks. This workshop ignites enthusiasm for STEM and is ideal for use in school halls or larger classrooms. It is flexible for different year groups and suitable for pupils with additional needs.
Pupils engage with history on a whole new level in the Jurassic Dig Journey. They excavate replica fossils from sandboxes, discovering the likes of the Stegosaurus, Triceratops and T-Rex. Augmented Reality content accessed via tablets shows what these creatures looked like, what they ate and how they lived. To further enrich the experience, schools can schedule a visit from Reggie, our full-size animatronic dinosaur. His lifelike movements and mighty roar create a memorable finale to the workshop.
In our WW2 Codebreaking Journey, pupils travel back to the 1940s to take part in a secret mission. Inspired by Bletchley Park, they begin with Morse Code before progressing to solve logic puzzles based on Enigma-style ciphers. This engaging experience teaches the history of information security while helping children develop teamwork, concentration and problem-solving skills.
Using a combination of VR, AR and classroom activities, the Human Body VR Journey takes students inside the systems that keep us alive. Pupils explore the lungs, heart, digestive tract and more. Once they have seen how the body works, they work together to build a life-size skeleton using individual bones, giving them a physical reference to reinforce anatomy, biology and team collaboration.
The Journey Through Space workshop lets pupils zoom through our solar system without ever leaving the classroom. Using interactive VR and AR, children learn about each planet’s size, orbit, gravity and atmosphere. It is a perfect session to spark curiosity and start science units or enhance school events like Science Week.
The MiniWorlds VR Journey shrinks your pupils down for an up-close look at bug life. From watching butterflies grow to crawling through an ant colony, they learn about life cycles, habitats and behaviours of insects through vivid 360-degree visuals. Ideal for younger students, this session helps them connect their learning to the world around them.
Take your school under the surface with our Under the Sea VR Journey. Pupils meet marine wildlife including dolphins, sharks and sea turtles, learning about food chains, adaptations and challenges facing the ocean. Vivid visuals keep the class engaged while building awareness of conservation and environmental responsibility.
This workshop combines cultural education with physical activity. Pupils explore the Olympic Games through VR, learning global geography and history. Then they hit the track to try real Olympic-inspired games including speed and jump challenges. It is a fun, active way to strengthen physical education while making cross-curricular links.
Our Indian Dance Journey offers a vibrant exploration of Indian culture through Kathak, a classical dance form known for rhythm, expression and storytelling.
