British Science Week Workshops for Schools
Plan a focused in-school workshop day, a multi-day programme or part of a wider enrichment week, shaped around the year groups taking part and delivered UK-wide with the specialist equipment specified for the booked format. Your school provides the agreed space, furniture and power.
Plan British Science Week 2027
British Science Week 2027 runs from 5 to 14 March. Schools can plan Hyett Education delivery within that period as a single workshop day, a multi-day programme or part of a broader enrichment week. Each plan starts with the year groups taking part, so the workshop choice, session structure and capacity fit the pupils involved.

Choose the right scale
Three flexible routes for your school
Start with the cohorts you want to involve. The most useful route is the one that fits their ages, your timetable and the learning outcome you want to prioritise.
Multi-day programme
Plan a sequence of workshop days for different year groups or subject priorities. We help you order the delivery once the suitable workshop choices and school timetable are clear.
Enrichment week
Place one or more booked workshop days inside a broader school-led enrichment week. This gives each participating cohort a practical experience chosen for their age group.
Choose your workshop
Choose from our established STEM categories
Our workshops sit in three clear categories. Each workshop page sets out the suitable key stages, curriculum links and delivery format so you can compare the right options for your pupils.
Workshop category
Robotics, Coding & Drones
From play-based robotics in Reception to Python programming in sixth form, our robotics and coding workshops build a progressive pathway through computational thinking. Students build, code and fly using LEGO robotics kits and education-grade drones.
Workshop choices
Explore Robotics, Coding & DronesWorkshop category
Computing & Coding
Our digital skills workshops cover the breadth of the computing curriculum beyond coding, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and digital media creation through stop-motion animation.

Science & Engineering
Our engineering and science workshops bring practical STEM skills to the classroom through 3D design with CAD software and hands-on electrical circuit experiments.

What one workshop day could look like
This is an illustration, not an offer of dates. It uses the Electricity & Circuits Workshop in its Standard Experience format. Building simple series circuits connects to statutory Year 4 science. For Year 6, the workshop can support statutory learning about component function and circuit symbols. Based on the Standard Experience format: 3 sessions of 90 minutes each. Exact times and breaks are agreed with the school.
| Stage | Illustrative activity |
|---|---|
| Before Session 1 | Hyett Education arrives and sets up the specialist workshop equipment in the space prepared by the school |
| Session 1 (90 minutes) | First Year 4 class (up to 32 pupils) |
| Between Sessions 1 and 2 | Changeover or break, as agreed with the school |
| Session 2 (90 minutes) | Second, different Year 4 class (up to 32 pupils) |
| Between Sessions 2 and 3 | Changeover or break, as agreed with the school |
| Session 3 (90 minutes) | One Year 6 class (up to 32 pupils) |
| After Session 3 | Hyett Education packs down its workshop equipment; the school retains its normal site and pupil-supervision duties |
Across these sessions the example day reaches up to 96 pupils. Other workshops and formats have different session lengths and capacities, shown on each workshop page.

Curriculum and outcomes
Plan from the learning, not the headline
British Science Week gives the programme a shared moment in the calendar. The educational value comes from matching a workshop to the pupils and the outcome your school wants. Exact curriculum links remain specific to each workshop.
Curriculum reinforcement
Select a workshop whose published links support the relevant Computing, Science, Design & Technology or Mathematics objectives.
Practical application
Give pupils a structured chance to design, code, build, test or refine an outcome, depending on the workshop chosen.
STEM careers context
Connect classroom knowledge with the tools, decisions and problem-solving used in technology, science and engineering roles.
Collaboration
Use the practical task to develop communication, iteration and shared decision-making alongside the technical content.
Practical delivery
What your booked workshop day includes
We bring the booked specialist delivery into your school. Your school provides a suitable indoor space, tables, chairs and power, plus reliable internet for CAD workshops. The workshop-specific setup and timetable are agreed around the pupils taking part.
- Specialist equipment and practical resources specified for the booked format
- Every Hyett Education instructor holds an enhanced DBS certificate and is registered on the DBS Update Service. Your instructor's DBS details are shared in your secure booking portal once your booking is made.
- In-school delivery avoids off-site transport and its travel risk assessment. Hyett Education supplies the activity risk assessment, while the school retains its normal on-site duties and decides how its usual consent and family-information procedures apply.
