Schools
Bring science to life through our schools outreach programme. With plenty of shows and workshops to choose from, your hardest decision will be which option to choose! We offer school visits throughout the week.
Alternatively, our team of experienced science communicators can bring our shows and workshops to your classroom.
Birthday Parties
Looking for a children’s party with a difference?
Go on a voyage of discovery and celebrate your birthday in style! We’ll give you and your guests free run of our exhibition space so they can experience science with their own hands – and we’ll put on an awesome science show for you and your party guests too.

The UK desperately needs more scientists: four in ten UK employers have problems recruiting staff with science and maths skills. But by age 11, most young people are already turned off science.
This is where we step in. We have got over 300,000 young people excited about science since 2013. And we are really good at reaching those young people who wouldn’t naturally be interested in science. What’s more, our entry cost is only half that of other science centres.
