After-School Clubs
Weekly clubs for primary school pupils that inspire a love of engineering and design.
Researchers agree that those who can problem solve, think creatively and work collaboratively have the best chances of success in tomorrow’s increasingly outsourced and automated job market. That's why we actively practice and teach these skills in our after-school classes, as well as developing skills in technology, engineering, and design.
But it's not all so serious! Our workshops are also designed to be fun and practical to engage children who have already spent a full day at school. We want children to leave feeling energized through their creativity.
Activities include practical making challenges, invention challenges and building STEM machines.
​
Our after-school classes for ages 5 and under run through our Little STEAMers programme.

A. Odhavji, parent
A brilliant and much needed concept for young children to explore their creative genius! Just wish this was part of school life for all children.
F. Sandford, parent
My children had an amazing time and are desperate to do it another time. Also it seems to have achieved the miracle of tiring them out, something not many activities have achieved!
S. Grewal, parent
My son came home fizzing with excitement. He said he'd had a brilliant time and from all his chatting I could see he had learned a lot too. We can't wait for more courses. Highly recommended!!
