100 Years of Television Workshop
One Day Creative
One Day is a forward-thinking creative education company, connecting children and learning with creativity and imagination. Tune in and turn up the volume as we travel through a century of broadcasting! Fusing History and STEM, this drama-led workshop takes pupils from the silent, black-and-white beginnings of TV to the 'binge-watching' world of today. Your pupils will become the actors, the engineers and the audience as they use creative group activities to explore the incredible evolution of technology and its massive impact on how we see our world. An ideal History or STEM workshop for schools all year round, or to celebrate the centenary of the first TV.

- Explore how TV brought communities together for events like the moon landing and royal coronations
- Develop an understanding of the science behind TVs, from the light spectrum to radio waves
- Introduce key figures from the evolution of TV e.g. John Logie Baird and Gladys West
- Discuss which is better: having two channels or two million channels. And how has it affected us?

Our method of working, using the performing arts as a vehicle for learning, is naturally inclusive so please do reach out if you'd like to have One Day in your specialist setting. We recognise that our workshops have been designed for mainstream settings and, therefore, may not be appropriate for all specialist contexts. However, we can make some reasonable adaptations to workshops when delivering in specialist schools so that pupils can access the learning.
We'll work with you to understand your pupils' needs and offer all the information you need to make an informed choice about our services. You know your pupils best. Equally, we always work in pupils' best interests. If we don't think we can provide what your pupils need, we'll let you know.
