Hands-On In-Person STEM Workshops & Clubs

Our workshops for KS2 link to several areas of the ICT as well as the Design & Technology curriculum.

Workshops can cover Video Game Design, Stop Motion Animation, thinking about systems and designing for a user, as well as Coding & Robotics designing moon landers, pedometers and games.

At Inventors & Makers, we believe every child should grow up seeing themselves as an inventor and engineer - inspired today to shape the world of tomorrow.

Building future-proof skills like problem-solving and teamwork, we also teach children to love engineering and creativity, helping your school become a bedrock for thriving futures in STEM.

Our workshops for KS1 and KS2 are linked to many areas of the Design & Technology curriculum, including engineering structures, mechanisms and the design process itself. We'll help your pupils understand the importance of DT to the world around us and how they can design, invent, engineer and build themselves.

Our Little STEAMers workshops and classes for EYFS cover a range of topics linked to D&T on engineering and building.

We believe in turning tiny hands and curious minds into tomorrow's STEM Heroes - one discovery at a time.

Our Little STEAMers classes and workshops for EYFS cover chemistry topics (e.g. chemical reactions, properties, states of mater, reactions) in an age-appropriate way ask for more details. We demonstrate then encourage the children to have a go.

We produce dedicated KS1 and KS2 workshops for British Science Week every year and our full range of workshops covers a variety of topics including aviation and rollercoasters, linking closely to the National Curriculum targets.

Little STEAMers classes and workshops for EYFS cover a range of physics topics in an age-appropriate way such as ramps, planes and even gravity!

We imagine a world where every child grows up a STEM Hero - confident they can invent, engineer, and shape a better future.

We start by inspiring them today by introducing the children to a diverse range of Inventors and Engineers from throughout history, including the present.

Our STEM Hero resources are available free on our website. Some of these are additional to the ones we use in workshops and assemblies.

We teach through the Engineering Superpowers: problem solving, communication, collaboration and creative thinking!

All of our workshops use these skills and encourage children to become more resilient and confident in their own ideals and abilities.

It's impossible to be an engineer without learning to overcome failure and develop a growth mindset. We focus on many other aspects including teamwork, cooperation as part of our workshops.

We also introduce children to a diverse range of Inventors & Engineers through our workshops and assemblies.

In this hands-on KS2 Romans engineering workshop, we explore some of the incredible structures built by the Romans and the engineering ideas behind them.

Children investigate how Roman engineers designed strong, lasting structures before taking part in practical challenges to build their own Roman-inspired columns and aqueducts.
