STEM on your doorstep!

We are open for Schools and Community Group bookings on Thursdays and Fridays during term-time and offer morning or afternoon sessions, combining a curriculum linked workshop and exploration of the exhibit space.

For Years 1 and 2  our workshop is “Designer Dinos”
Do we really know what dinosaurs looked like? Observe, identify and classify our prehistoric menagerie and imagine what dinosaurs might really have looked like. Work together to create a dinosaur from your own imagination based on the evidence we have.

For Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 our workshop is “Sailing Science”
Investigate materials and forces as budding engineers. This workshop gets pupils to build, test and modify their own land yacht. Design a sail from everyday materials and ride like the wind in an exciting finale where pupils can compete in an exciting race! Along the way, you’ll learn about materials, forces and design.

For Years 5 and 6 our workshop is “Building a Better Future”
Building a city is not an easy thing to do, and to build a great city where the people who live there are happy and healthy we have to understand the built environment. In this workshop students take on the role of urban planners, learning what the built environment is, why it matters, and how they can make meaningful changes not only for themselves but for generations to follow.
