Crumble Coding
These fantastic workshops allow students to find out how things are made, how they work and how they are controlled. Investigating machines such as cars, traffic lights, instruments, parking sensors, lighthouses makes students think about the man-made world around them and how it works. The Crumble...Beginner STEMbotics: Robotics & Coding
Students can build from instructions on hundreds of designs, or get creative and build their own robots. Once built, the LEGO robots are capable of moving and detecting other objects using motion and tilt sensors using icon or block coding.We take a very cross-curricular approach to our sessions and will happily adapt...Real Science or Just Bangs? (Science of Fireworks show)
Explore the colourful and explosive world of pyrotechnics as Matthew Tosh deconstructs the STEM behind firework displays.He'll demonstrate how to create colours, different sound effects, shock waves and perfectly timed bursts in time to music, whilst ensuring that displays are safe. Fully customisable to fit your...Institute for Research in Schools
