British Science Week 2027
Creativity-Themed STEM Workshops for Primary Schools
Creativity is at the heart of everything we do in STEM - every engineer, inventor, and scientist starts with a creative idea.
Our award-winning workshops give pupils the chance to think differently, design solutions, and create something they're proud of - making them a natural fit for British Science Week 2027.
The official British Science Week 2027 takes place between 5–14 March, though many schools choose to celebrate at other times of year to suit their own calendar.
Our Inventioneer teachers deliver workshops in person across the UK or online, for EYFS through to Year 6.
“Having Inventors and Makers come in to our school has been an amazing experience.
They have been brilliant from the beginning with liaising with me - all my questions were answered really promptly and joint organisation before the workshops meant that they went off without a hitch.
On the day, the class leaders were incredible. All staff and children raved about the workshops and one of our staff said that it was the best workshop she had ever been to."
- Miss Moodley, Science Lead, Capel Manor Primary School
Featured for British Science Week 2027
While all of our workshops include an element of creativity, two in particular sit right at the heart of the 2027 theme.
Invention & Design
Creativity sits at the very core of this workshop. Children learn how inventions solve real-world problems, meet famous and not-so-famous inventors who thought creatively, and then use the design thinking process to create their own inventions - from initial idea right through to a finished design. We finish off with a practical invention-themed maker challenge.
Year groups: KS1 · KS2 (choose your own EYFS theme)
Available: In-person and online and Kickstart
Engineering & Structures
Engineering is one of the most creative disciplines there is - every structure ever built started as someone's idea. Children learn about what keeps famous towers and bridges standing, meet the engineers behind them, and then apply their own creativity to design and build their own structures.
Year groups: EYFS · KS1 · KS2
Available: In-person and online and Kickstart

British Science Week 2027
Alll of our workshops include an element of creativity. Here are the others that work brilliantly for British Science Week, whatever theme you'd like to link to in your school.
Understanding Artificial Intelligence
Children explore what AI is, how it works, and design their own useful AI - thinking creatively about how technology can solve real problems.

“"It was great for children to be taught relevant facts and information linked to prior learning and areas of the curriculum, as opposed to just watching experiments or funny explosions.
Everything was organised well and had good communication throughout. Thank you for a wonderful, informative and engaging day of learning."
- Miss Hargrave, Science Lead, Jenyns First School
“The imaginative activities were fabulous for introducing concepts, clarifying technical vocabulary and allowing the opportunity to learn through discovery.
The children were engaged throughout and had lots of fun and many different opportunities for team-building and problem-solving collaboratively with their friends.”
- Miss Field DT/Science Lead, Kirkheaton Primary School
