Popular Workshop Themes Delivered in Solihull
Our workshops span a range of curriculum topics, all presented in captivating, hands-on formats. Here are a few favourites among local schools.
CSI Journey: Science Meets Sleuthing
Our CSI Journey is an exciting way to make science tangible. Pupils become young detectives solving the mystery of a stolen diamond. They analyse materials using real techniques including DNA, fingerprints and fibre analysis to unravel the case.
These sessions blend roleplay with hands-on investigation and teamwork. Pupils get to step into the role of forensic scientists and build critical thinking skills while having fun. The content is fully adaptable to year groups and best suited to large spaces such as school halls.
Jurassic Dig Journey: A Prehistoric Adventure
In our Jurassic Dig Journey, children take on the role of palaeontologists as they uncover fossils from iconic creatures like the T. Rex and Triceratops using tools in specially designed excavation sandboxes.
With the added use of Augmented Reality, children can visualise the actual scale of each creature in real time. Pupils read, touch and explore fossils, and can even meet Reggie, our life-sized animatronic T. Rex, during a school assembly for an unforgettable experience.
WW2 Codebreaking Journey: Thinking Like Wartime Cryptographers
Step into the world of wartime espionage. Pupils decode intercepted messages using Morse Code and logic in our WW2 Codebreaking Journey. The session explores topics linked to Bletchley Park, allowing pupils to learn about history, technology and communication in a high-energy workshop.
From building group skills to applying computing logic, this interactive workshop is ideal for World War II themed curriculum units or discovery weeks.
Immersive Learning Through Movement, Culture and VR
Our workshops often combine movement, technology and culture to deepen understanding. These dynamic sessions provide a fresh approach to learning that children genuinely enjoy.
A popular choice for Key Stage 2 is our Sport and VR Journey, where pupils explore Olympic history and participate in a sprint challenge using real laser timing equipment. It builds a bridge between culture, fitness and historical learning all in one session.
Curriculum-Enhancing Workshops with a Difference
If your students need a fresh lens to view science, history or geography topics, we offer a wide selection of creative sessions that support a rich and balanced curriculum.
Our additional workshops include:
– The Indian Dance Journey, which blends cultural storytelling and movement through Kathak dance
– Space VR Journey, where pupils travel around the solar system in an immersive VR experience
– Human Body VR Journey, allowing pupils to travel inside organs, then build a full body skeleton
– Miniworlds VR Journey, capturing the hidden lives of invertebrates in lifelike 360° habitats
