VR and hands-on science workshops for primary schools
Science they step inside
A class set of networked VR headsets and a specialist facilitator, in your hall for the day. Whole classes explore the solar system, the human body and the deep ocean together, then come back out and explain what they saw.

Why schools book us
Serious science. Zero admin.
Technology your school could not put on alone, delivered by people who have run it in a thousand halls before yours.
- 01
Our own VR content, not a stock app
Every virtual reality workshop runs on software our developers built for the primary curriculum. The whole class is inside the same world at the same time, led by your facilitator - not thirty children on thirty separate videos.
- 02
Real science skills, not just a wow moment
Pupils observe, question, predict and record. Forensic Science asks them to analyse evidence; Science Faction asks them to explain a reaction they have just watched happen. The wow is the way in, not the whole lesson.
- 03
Compliance sent the day you book
Your facilitator's DBS certificate, our risk assessment and public liability insurance documents arrive by email well before the visit, so your office has everything on file without chasing.
- 04
A whole school in a single day
Sessions run back to back around your timetable - typically six in a day, which covers a one-form-entry school from Reception to Year 6 without disrupting lunch or PE.
Nine workshops

Six run in virtual reality on our own content. Three are hands-on, with real kit on real tables.

Your facilitator unloads, tests every headset on our own network and is ready before the first bell.
09:15
First session starts
Class one takes their seats. A short briefing, then the whole class enters the same virtual environment together.
All day
Classes rotate through
45 to 60 minutes per class depending on what your school needs, with up to six sessions across the day, timed around your assemblies and lunch sittings.
15:30
We pack down and leave
Equipment away, hall back to normal, follow-up classroom activities left with your science lead.
Plan around the calendar
The dates schools book science for
Science Week fills first. These are the fixed points in the year worth getting in the diary early.
British Science Week
5 - 14 March
Ten days of science, technology, engineering and maths - and the busiest fortnight in our calendar.
OctoberWorld Space Week
4 - 10 October
The week the whole class becomes a crew of astronauts.
AprilEarth Day
22 April
Global issues made local, in a single day.
JuneWorld Ocean Day
8 June
A whole-school dive without leaving the hall.
What the day feels like
A fossil in their hands beats a fossil in a book. That is the entire idea.
Feedback from schools
Schools keep asking us back
The children have not stopped talking about the VR headsets. Our Year 5s were naming planets and moons a fortnight later, which tells you how much of it stuck.
Slick from start to finish. The facilitator set up before we arrived, ran six sessions without a hitch, and the paperwork was in my inbox the day we booked.
Forensic Science was the highlight of Science Week. Every child had a job to do and the whole class had to agree on the evidence before they could name a suspect.
We were nervous about headsets with Key Stage 1, but the session was pitched perfectly and the hygiene routine between classes was thorough.
Genuinely good value. Worked out at under three pounds a child and it was the science our pupils remembered all year.

Teaching Earth and space in Year 5 so the scale actually lands
Pupils can recite the order of the planets and still have no idea how far apart they are. Here is how to fix the scale problem.
