Space VR Workshop
PrimeVR
Our immersive workshops are a great way of bringing the curriculum to life without the hassle of organising a school trip! During our space workshop, your class will learn all about:
- The planets in our Solar System
- The formation of our Solar System
- The Apollo 11 moon landing
- The Asteroid Belt
- The Milky Way Galaxy
- The International Space Station
It's often quite difficult to teach space and put its sheer size into perspective - this workshop aims to open a child's imagination using virtual reality and increase their understanding of a world outside of ours.
Following on from this workshop, your pupils can use their imagination to produce an amazing piece of creative writing.

Creative writing
At PrimeVR, we understand how difficult it can be to inspire children with their writing. We aim to create excitement by virtually transporting pupils into space! Not only will we provide your class with exciting facts about space but we'll also provide them with an experience to ignite their imagination. Give VR a go and see how it helps with creative writing!
Physics
Earth and space Planetarium
PrimeVR can bring your science topic to life by blasting your pupils into space! Using virtual reality headsets, we'll introduce your class to the different planets in our Solar System, their respective sizes, the Milky Way Galaxy and you'll even get to see the International Space Station!
We can also transport your class back in time to 1969, where your students will be able to feel like they are part of the Apollo 11 moon landing!

We can deliver up to six workshops throughout the school day with a maximum of 32 pupils in each workshop.
We bring in 16 headsets and pupils will share one between two during workshops.
We recommend workshops lasting approximately 30-45 minutes.

Reviews from Schools..
★★★★★
"We had a really enjoyable day of VR for Years 3-6. The day was very well organised and delivered, and the children really enjoyed the sessions.
During the session the children got a good balance of VR (using the headset) and factual information about each topic (we had Stone Age, The Americas, Outer Space and Polar Regions). I think it's good value for money as a 'hook' to start a new topic. Overall
a super day"

"We’ve had a fantastic time with Prime VR's VR workshops this week, a great addition to our STEM week! We'd like to say a massive thank you to Louie, who made the workshops such a hit with the kids. As teachers, we were really impressed with the knowledge and information he was able to provide to the children to enhance the VR content, and the opportunity it gave us to assess their prior learning."
