This exciting workshop brings crime scene science into your school hall. Children investigate the theft of the £32 million Venus Diamond using real forensic techniques. They gather fingerprints, analyse fibres and build DNA models, all while practicing communication, deduction and teamwork.
Pupils become palaeontologists, using AR technology to unearth fossils and interact with lifelike dinosaurs. Children can meet Stegosaurus, Triceratops, and more. For added excitement, book a visit from Reggie the Rex, our life-size animatronic dinosaur who roars and moves during an unforgettable assembly appearance.
This fast-paced journey immerses students in 1940s Britain. Armed with cipher wheels and Morse code sheets, they take part in decoding missions and learn how vital communication was to wartime efforts. The session integrates movement, critical thinking and history through a memorable experience.
Using VR, pupils travel inside the human body to see organs at work. After seeing the lungs breathe and the heart beat, they build a life-size skeleton in an activity that promotes problem-solving and practical understanding of biology.
Children explore the solar system, visit planets and learn about space travel through interactive VR. The workshop encourages scientific questioning and links across literacy, geography and numeracy.
This unique journey magnifies the miniature world of bugs and mini-beasts. Using VR, pupils discover insect behaviour, complete food chains and understand lifecycles in rich, 360-degree digital environments.
Perfect for habitat and water-themed learning, this session introduces underwater ecosystems. Pupils might encounter sea turtles, coral reefs and even sharks, all in a safe and engaging virtual environment.
Pupils travel to another country virtually, then jump back in time to Ancient Olympia. After exploring sports history, they participate in physical challenges that build teamwork and energy while reinforcing historical knowledge.
Led by a professional dancer, this session introduces pupils to Kathak, one of India’s oldest classical dance forms. Children learn steps, rhythm and cultural meanings tied to expressive storytelling.
