History VR Day Workshop

PrimeVR

School Workshop

trip icon Our virtual reality workshops are a great way of bringing your history day to life! Each of our workshops are guaranteed to create excitement and enthusiasm for history!

Each year group can choose a workshop relevant to their current history topic and teachers can use our follow up recap PowerPoints to revisit the learning and maybe encourage some amazing creative writing?

All of our workshops are delivered by qualified teachers or passionate educators who bring all of the equipment necessary and only need a spare classroom or small hall.

We have been rated 5* by schools and teachers on Google, Trustpilot and Facebook. Take a look and see what they thought!
