STEM & Computing Workshops for Schools

Our Advanced STEMbotics workshops challenges students to design, build and code LEGO robots using text-based code via Python. Students code their robots using Python, reinforcing and extending prior learning from the computing curriculum. This is a great workshop for challenging competent block coders and introducing them to text-based code. We can cover core coding principles of sequencing, selection and iteration, with the possibility of using functions and variables in longer session formats.

In this drone workshop students will learn to code the flight patterns of their drones using block programming or Swift coding language (used to develop apps on iPhone and iPad).

They'll instruct their drones to take-off, land, do flips and somersaults, as well as navigate different altitudes and distances to make its way safely around a course.

Our Digital Photo Art & Editing workshops present a variety of creative challenges to children combining both art and computing skills. Students learn about different photography techniques and use technology to apply them to their own creations.

Workshop Provided by FUZE Technologies

In all other subjects, children start with the basics, move into the middle ground and then onto more advanced levels. Of course, if we started kids on Ladybird books and jumped straight to Tolstoy, we’d have a serious problem. However, this seems to be the case with coding. It is the common-ground to start with tools like Scratch and other ‘block based’ environments and then move onto Python and other real-world languages. There’s nothing wrong with either platform, just that quite simply, the gap between them is far too wide and as such we are likely to lose many potential candidates on the way. FUZE provides a transition between these two environments and in doing so lowers the barriers to entry of the real-world languages. Without a reasonable understanding of the core coding principles, Python and C etc. can look extremely complicated. However, by learning in the middle ground with FUZE things start to fall into place.

An engaging workshop with practical’s to learn about the Raspberry Pi and coding. During the workshop, they programme the Raspberry Pi to light an LED, build a traffic light circuit and programme it using the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins and learn to code with the Scratch programming language.

Workshop Provided by VSTEM Education

Workshops filled with practical to learn about the solar system, stars, and the forces in the universe. During the workshop, they will conduct space experiments using the BBC: microbit and a sensor kit, learn about the planets, create a tornado in a bottle and a star constellation, and fire a stomp rocket!

Workshop Provided by Explorer Dome

Discover a huge range of topics that bring science to life for audiences of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and abilities. Inclusive education is at the heart of what we do and we visit schools, colleges, adult education, teacher training, festivals, and special events and, as we pitch the show for your group, no two shows are ever the same!

Workshop Provided by Code Created

Our new Getting Started with Website Design and Development Workshop is a great way to introduce your pupils to coding. We'll focus on HTML, CSS and JavaScript throughout a full-day workshop. At the end of the day, they will have a working website, along with notes and support so they are equipped to design an online portfolio for their work, or other project.

Our new Python Workshop is great for teaching coding fundamentals through a real-world programming language. We will use Python (a programming language used by companies such as Google and NASA) to teach coding basics!

Workshop Provided by Code Created

Our Coding Games Workshop teaches the basics of coding and game development. We'll teach coding fundamentals with a very practical workshop, giving pupils plenty of hands-on time with code, creating arcade-style games and “snack” games. We will then work on a REAL mobile game with your class, uploading the game to the app stores so the pupils can show off to their family and friends when they get home!

Workshop Provided by Palaquest

This workshop covers the Evolution and Inheritance KS2 topic. Also ideal for KS3+. Examine an extensive collection of fossil specimens through 8 different prehistoric time periods to discover how life on earth changed through the millennia. Record and interpret your findings, and see the evidence for evolution in front of your very eyes. Meet your ancestors, and some other weird and wonderful prehistoric creatures, and tell the story of life on earth, and how it changed, over the last Billion years or so.

Get hands-on with rocks and fossils, soils, and geological equipment in this workshop. Examine, compare and group a wide variety of specimens. Investigate the properties of rocks, and their uses in our everyday lives or their role in the rock cycle. Learn how fossils get inside rocks, and what they can tell us about prehistoric life. We can also examine thin-sections of rocks under the microscope, rock-forming minerals, and weathering of rocks.
